Conventions of a Horror Film Poster.

Film Poster feature many different elements, these include:

• Film Title - usually an inigma or clue as to the narrative of the film e.g. Let Me In.
• Tagline - typically supports the title by elborating on the enigma e.g. Innocence Dies. Abby Doesn't
• Releases date.
• Web link.
• Actors/Actresses names.
• Billing Block - including pruducers, driectors, distributors, sound engineers and editors.
• Colour pallet (typically of three colours, usually red, black and white in horror genre posters).
• USP - this could be the star, director, narrative or maybe an adaptation.
• CGI Image (usually featuring the star of the film accompanied by the danger, blood or an enigma).

Costume & Props.

For each character I have made a mood board of suggestions for costumes, acsessories and props.

Lucy (pre descent).

Lucy (post descent).

James.

We've chosen to use brands like Doctor Marten and band t-shirts e.g. Joy Division because we feel that our target audience will be able to relate to the costume because of the bands they listen to and fashion they choose. Also, the darker colours for Lucy post descent contrast to the bright neutral colours before, showing a clear distinction in character.

In addtion we have also choosen to use props like Blackberrys because they are quickly becoming a part of teen culture, it's hard to walk down the street and not see at least 4 teens holding Blackberrys, therefore making it an easy and relateable prop.



Script and Casting.

Here is an initial script that our actress, actor and extras will be given. We have decided to use Megan Shine in the role of Lucy, she is an A-Level Theatre student who achieved an A grade at GSCE. We will also being using Liam Doyle for the role of James; he too is studying Theatre at A-Level and took it for GCSE. We have decided to right a script, however, this is mainly for direction of physicality, both of these actors to prefer to spontaeneouly improvise which ultimately would give a rawer affect; Many of the scenes in "This is England" were improvised. Any extras we need for the scenes shot in school we will arrange through our friends and class mates.



Original Storyboards.

We have decided to use a number of establishing shots, close ups of specific things in the establishing shots, repetition and fast edits, like in films of the Britsh Drama genre we have analysed; "Rock n Rolla" and "This is England". These have beentitled as original because we may decided to add and edit the film along the way, so realistically this set of story boards are a rough outline and guide, the final storyboards will be produced at the end of film/beginning of editing.
