Here, is a link to an overview of my horror film called 'The undead Soul'. This presentation shows what kind of music I'm going to use and how I would like my characters to be. It also explains what setting i am going to use in my film.

I showed this presentation to my media class and in return I received some feedback. I have gained some infomation to add to my prezi presentation, things such as how my film would apply to my target audience. Also I should add what types of camera shots I may use. I will use various types of camera shots, however I will mostly use close ups to show the facial features of the characters and long shot to show the audience the surroundings.

My class have said how I might make the little girl (the undead soul)  look scary. I responded by saying that I would make sure the person who is playing the character has long dark hair, and pale white skin. Also for effect I would make her wear ripped clothing and have little scars on her.

Opening of a Horror Film

In an opening scene of a horror film I expect to see flashbacks, or beginning of a story line that gradually turns into violence, however soemtimes a horror film can straight of start with violence. Also it may start with a scary sound or audio to set the mood or atmosphere.
This movie One Missed Call is a perfect example of the sound or audio being the main point of the movie. It sets the atmosphere right from the beginning of the movie and carries it on right to the end.

Another thing I expect is death. Most horror films have death in them, many people find death the biggest fear in them so many directors mainly use death, ghosts or something to do with death in thier movie.

In this film Jeepers Creepers there is death and violence which is highly expected in horror films. Also what makes a film more scary is the scary faces that the 'villan' or 'bad guy' has. For example in this film the bad guy had a rotten face which looks un human, makes the viewer feel that what they are watching is surreal.

I think the camera shots in an opening horror film scene would be a lot of long shots or close ups depending on what the cenimatographer wants to show. I think there will be alot of editing done to make the film look more scary such as add effects that make you feel more scared when you watch the film.

My Prelim Task

This is my prelim task: The Job Interview

In this task I have learnt many things, one of them being on how to improve my camera skills by using a camera stand to make the shot seem less shaky.

I have also learnt a lot in film editing on the Premiere Pro program. I have mostly experimented with the audio and effects of the program. Adding music or removing audio has been useful for me to use in this prelim task.
Also I have learnt how to add text such as credits and titles to improve my film making skills and make it look more professional.

Green Screen

This is our movie that we made using Green Screen. I have found using green screen very enjoyable and creative. It is quick and easy to use and can be very useful in my horror movie. I have learnt that you have to use a screen that is 1 block colour that does not blend in with our clothes, it does not have to be green but the colour is more used because it is unlikely that someone would wear florescent clothing.

I may consider using green screen in my project to make something more scary in the movie or more realistic.

Film Survey Analysis

After posting my Survey I have found out that teenagers mostly watch horror movies, to get the feeling of excitement or the feeling adrenaline rush through their body when they get scared. I have also found out it would be rare to find a person over the age of 30 watching a horror movie.
According to my survey people are mostly scared of insects such as spiders, or their most feared is 'Death'.  Many people watch horror movies with friends or family members but very rarely on their own because it is more fun to watch horror with someone else.

From the findings of the survey, I have decided that when I film my movie, it would be suited to an audience of mostly teens and over. I would also add things such as death or spiders to scare people, because that is what people are scared of mostly .
