Possible Location Shots

i took these pictures as you can see in a graveyard. We have all agreed that we want part of our film to be shot in a graveyard because this links to the story of our film very well. Graveyards also adds suspense and most people are scared of graveyards as they are pretty creepy. there are a lot of places in the graveyard that our actors can hide behind in our film, as we are including a dead possessed girl who is haunting her previous family. Basically the dead girls father is going to visit her grave at this graveyard and she is going to appear from behind him but obviously he isn't going to be able to see him, which is why this graveyard is ideal as there are plenty of other stones to hide behind. Alex who is in our group lives right behind this graveyard so some of the stones are basically in his garden, this works so well in our film as we are going to use his house as well, so this will be in walking distances. 

Potential Font Ideas

For our film we researched a variety of font ideas to fit out film perfectly. This is a great font for a horror movie as to me it does look scary and it does look like it would fit good on a horror movie. But this font doesn't have anything in it or look like anything that would be in our film. To me it looks like it would fit perfectly a spooky movie involving witches and things like that as the end of the letters are quite long and pointy as they remind me of the stereotype of a witches long pointy finger nails. And in our film we haven't included any witches or anything like that so I don't think we will be using this font.










    This font type is a good font, but for our film it doesn't look scary enough. we wanted something that looked horrified and creepy but this doesn't work for us. This font looks like its just been scribbled down by somebody and the backwards 'e's' look like it could represent isolation and difference from the rest of the letters. This could maybe represent ghosts and ghouls as they are different from others.

This font looks like it could be used in a gory film with lots of blood. In our film we wont be including blood and gore as our film isn't that type of horror film. The way the letters are quite sharp in this font and look as if there is something dripping from them, we immediately think of blood as this is quite a standard type of font in horror films. This font is good for films that would be including murder and death scenes as it shows horror and death well with the dripping blood. is also has quite a gothic look to it and the letters seem quite pointy and straight to the point, the dripping blood look also emphasises the deep black letters. 








This is my favourite font of them all as it looks like a young child has written it. And this is perfect as in our film we are including young children and they become the main storyline in our film, so this adds the wonder from the audience when they see this font as to where the children may come in, and in some films having young children can intrigue the audience more and scare them. The font is juxtaposed by what children are looked at being. They are looked at being cute and innocent but when you see this font it changes as it has quite a spooky effect to it.

Deciding on the audience for the film

 

I researched the bbfc to find out the certain film ratings that films are given to try and see which one ours would fit in. obviously as its a horror film it wouldnt be a PG, U, or a 12 so i researched the others to see what they were.
12A can include; There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood, but occasional gory moments may be permitted if they can be justified by their context (for example brief sight of bloody injury in a medical drama).
Action sequences and weapons may be present at 12 or 12A, and there may be long fight scenes or similar. Weapons which might be easily accessible to 12 year olds should not be glamorised in 12A and 12 works. Sexual violence, such as scenes of rape or assault, may only be implied or briefly and discreetly indicated at 12A. Such scenes must also have a strong contextual justification.


15 can include; 15 works are stronger than 12 or 12A rated works and could include any of the following; strong violence, frequent strong language (eg 'f***'), portrayals of sexual activity, strong verbal references to sex, sexual nudity, brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence,
discriminatory language or behaviour and drug taking. Many horror films are rated 15. At 15 there can be strong threat and menace (as long as it is not sadistic or sexualised), although the strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable.
At 15, violence may be strong. It should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury, however, and the strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic or sexualised violence is also unlikely to be acceptable. Easily accessible weapons may not be glamorised.

18 can include; 18 works are for adults and can contain strong issues such as:
very strong violence, frequent strong language (eg 'f***') and/or very strong language (eg ‘c***’), strong portrayals of sexual activity, scenes of sexual violence, strong horror, strong blood and gore, real sex (in some circumstances) and discriminatory language and behaviour.
At 18 violence can be strong and be portrayed with strong detail. There may even be dwelling on the infliction of pain or injury, or scenes of strong sadistic or sexual violence.
The strongest gory images are permitted at this category.
The strongest horror works are passed at 18, they may contain strong horror, gore or sustained threat and menace which exceeds the boundaries of 15.

We have decided that our film we be rated a 15. This is because there wont be strong language, but there will be strong violence but not as much as there would be on an 18 rated movie. There wont be any sort of sexual references or sexual violence as this wouldn't fit our films conventions. On the British board of film classifications it says that horror films are most likely to be rated a 15 if they don't include sexualised threat and our film wont include this.
