Age Certificates In Film


I have labelled anything valid to our horror movie red.

How to make a horror movie vid


This is an interesting video that shows you what you need to make a horror movie realistic and as entertaining as possible.


Health and Safety

Health and Safety in the filming area is pretty basic as we arent doing anything too risky or dangerous, however, we are using certain props that can cause some harm. We have to basically overcome this by handling them with care. The main concern would be the knife for obvious reasons. Kayleigh and I will have to handle this with care and make sure we don't hurt each other with it. Thats about it as far as health and safety goes in our little task.

If we were to then go into industry filming there are procedures and laws that may have to be recognised, this link shows the risks and procedures big film idustries have to face. http://www.hse.gov.uk/entertainment/theatre-tv/film.htm

Prop List

Props we will use in our Main Task Opening Title are going to have be horror orientated obviously because the  Mise en Scene have to be related to our specific genre. This will include weapons, character props, and other items that will give off a horror atmosphere. These will include knives, balloons and fairy liquid. I will now explain why we will use each prop.


We will be using fairy liquid to represent blood when washing the knife in the scene of the girl washing up. We are using red fairy liquid because it looks and mimics blood and will almost fool the audience into think it is blood however it is just a household item. We figured that this is a good way to signify danger to the woman before the clown even arrives.

We are also going to use a knife, for obvious reasons. This is a common weapon however can also be found in a household so this again signifies danger before the clown arrives but will also be used by the clown. It will also be held by the woman as a kind of metaphor for the fact that she and clown both hold the weapon she is killed by
A balloon may  not be a household item but it is still something that isnt really connoted with danger. This is why we have chosen to use a red balloon to show the danger. We are trying to show that even the less scary items can show horror aspects and scare an audience. When the audience see the balloon it will signify the arrival of the clown and cause tension.
