Questionnaire

(Maybe this post is a bit late but im going to do it anyways ^^)
We have decided to do a a horror movie opening which can fit the age group of 16-21. Tomorrow in break I will gather a few information from some of my friends to see which horror movie is their favorite and what are their opinions on horror films.

Prop List

-Chair- This is used for the victim to be sat down. It will also show that the victim is tied up.

-Plastic Knife- Used by the killer clown (Niall) to kill the victim.

-Clown Mask- Wore by the clown Niall, so he can hide his identity.

-Chains- Used to tire up the victim.

-Flashlight- Used by the killer clown to show and hide himself.

-Children's Toys- These will be placed around the room, to make the victim panic and to give an effect to the scene. A possible non-diegetic sound of children laughing will be played. Myself and (Sam Banks) will be bringing these toys in. They will be used on the floor and possibly somewhere else in the room.

-Camera
-TriPod

Saw 3D Opening

            The movie starts of with the well known Distributing Company Lionsgate clip/logo coming up on the screen, which cuts to a different scene which shows Twisted Pictures. The font of the title is white with a black background. The movie than starts of with a few flashbacks of the previous Saw movie, where there is a man led on the floor all covered in blood which looks like something horrible has happened. From here the camera cuts to a scene with the camera tracking a long trail of blood, where we can see that someone's half leg is led on the floor. The camera is still following the trail of blood and we can see, from what it looks like a man dragging himself on the floor with half of his leg cut off, where we can understand that something bad has happened to him.  From here it cuts to a shot which shows 'Twisted Pictures Presents' from which we learn that this is the company that produced the movie, with some blue/black background with some red dots which is meant to look like blood with some diegetic thunder effects in it. From here than it cuts back to the man dragging himself on the floor in a high angle shot, from where the camera cuts into a medium close-up of the man reaching for a hot steam pipe which looks like he is going to put his half cut leg to it so he can seal the wound.

The Haunting In Connecticut Opening

      
The first 2 Minutes from 'The Haunting In Connecticut'
The movie starts of with a few credits on the screen saying that the movie has been Produced&Distributed by Lionsgate and Gold Circle Films with a black background and the text in white. In a medium close-up a picture with some old people comes up which looks like the picture was taken a very long time ago. From this scene it cuts to a different scene where we can see a lot of blood dripping, which looks like someone is making some sort of operation.Shot-reverse-shot between the bloody scenes and the old style pictures for like a minute and half. From here it shows us the title of the movie'The Haunting In Connecticut' followed by the sub title 'Based on the true story'. From here it cuts to a mid-shot of a blonde woman sat on the chair wearing a blue blouse who looks like she's going to start telling a story.

Hatchet Opening

              The movie starts of with some special thunder effects in the background with credits of the production companies 'ArieScope Pictures & High Seas Entertainment' and also in association with 'Radioaktive Film'. From here than it cuts to a dark forest with a boat which looks like two people are sat in it, fishing. From here it cuts into a mid shot of an old man dressed casually smoking his pipe. From here it cuts into an over the shoulder shot with a middle aged man dressed casually in a mid shot looking bored with a glass of beer in his hand. The middle aged man starts moaning that he wants to go home because its too cold out there, the older man says he is not moving from there until he gets what he wants modern representation of older people thinking they are always right. Shot reverse shot back on the middle aged man, looking bored once again. All of a sudden a non diegetic sound comes on while something just moved in the water, the two men jump up in a two shot both looking frightened into the water. Nothing happens, and the two men decide to sit back down into the boat. The scene ends in a two shot with the two men sat in the boat drinking. 

Cast

The Toy Box


Cast


Psycho Clown- played by Niall Corish.
For the costume and make-up were going to use a clown costume and a freaky clown mask. The Clowns amusement is every body else's biggest fear: death.
Tortured Victim- played by Aletta Vaida.
For costume we have chose her typical teenage clothes because the victim is meant to look like she has been raped, so the clothes she will be wearing are a casual white top with black leggins and ugg boots. The Victim has a lot of bruises all over the arms with a few cuts and a lot of blood all over her to look like she has been
 beaten. The top is riped and all covered  in blood. The girl is led on the floor looking confused after waking up in a strange place shocked about all the random freaky toys around her, she starts screaming for help but no body seems to give her a reply.
Running Person/Detective- played by Samuel Banks.
For the costume Sam is going to wear typical smart clothes; a nice white shirt with tie and black smart trousers . Sam's role this movie is that he is looking for a girl which dissapeared a very long time ago and no body knows where or how.
