To Do List

Before filming commences I will need to do the following:

• Complete my script;
• Complete my storyboard;
• Finalise the list of props I will need;
• Arrange filming times and locations;
• Notify my actors of the times and locations of filming

Scream - Garage Scene

This Scene from Scream shows the nature of the violence which is used in the 'Teen-Slasher' genre. This clip also demonstrates the use of sound, with the use of music whic is filled with suspense as the violence comes to a climax. This clip also shows the loose morals of teenagers portrayed in the genre, as the female in the scene is carrying a large ammount of alcohol, reinforcing the idea that in films of this genre it is usually the characters who display morals and maturity who survive the killing spree.

The Brief

For my creative project I have chosen to develop an extended sequence from my imagined feature 'Murder-Creek', my sequence will be between 3-5 minutes long. I will be looking at the issues raised in FM1 in relation to the production of meaning and the study of stylistics and theory. I will be undertaking this task as an individual.

All Nightmare On Elm Street Murders

this video contains several examples of the types of brutal murders seen in films of the teen slasher genre, which has given me inspiration for the nature of the murders in my sequence.

Halloween

Above is an image of Michael Myers from the teen slasher film Halloween, I will be using this type of shot for my film in order to give tyhe feeling of the victim being trapped, this is through the use of mise-en-scene in the use of the bannister rail, which is shown to represent bars on a prison cell or a cage. This mise-en-scene is also useful to me as I will be using a similar type of costume for my killer and he will also be using a knife for his murders. Also the cinematography in this shot is used to give the murderer the position of powe, this I will also be using in my film to put the murderer in the position of power.

Aims and Context of my imagined film, 'Murder-Creek'

Aims and Context

For my FM3 creative project I will be filming an extended sequence from my imagined film ‘Murder-Creek’. This sequence will be used to establish the narrative for my film. The target audience for my film is a mainstream audience aged 16-25.  I will be applying the use of cinematography to create meaning in the sequence, as I learned whilst doing my FM1 creative project. I will also be focusing on the use of sound in my sequence, to create tension among the audience. The main influence of my film is the ‘teen slasher’ genre, and I will be looking for inspiration in films such as Scream, with regards to the stylistics I will be using.
