Horror Film Step Outline

To gain further ideas and inspiration for creating the opening credits and scene of a horror film my group has decided to analyse an opening of a horror film.

Below is a word document I have embedded using Slideshare. I have analysed the different frames and shots used in the opening titles of Sweeney Todd. I have broken down the description of the shot, the mise en scene, sound, editing and typography used. This will helpful as we will know the codes and conventions for a typical horror movie opening.

Film Pitch from simrantakhar

Above is the Film Pitch, detailing our ideas as a group for our opening titles. We have included a synopsis for the narrative, a resource list and a locations list needed in our film, also there is some information on the title of our film and its genre. Simran has created a slideshare, to depict our ideas in an interesting and creative way.

We needed feedback on our ideas, so that we could determine if our ideas were along the right lines, or if they needed any adjustments. Any feedback on our ideas will be useful and important, as comments from our peers will be hugely influential when we create our horror film, as we will know we area meeting our target audiences needs. Below is the embedded pad let, with the What Went Well comments, and some Even Better If... comments.
