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. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Production Company

This is the logo of the production company we have created. The logo has red and black to show danger and inpurity . We think that this gives a good first impression for the opening scene of our opening title sequence. The red and black will also go nicely with the theme of the clown.
The name sadistic studios is basically just to emphasise the demonic theme of horror and to just give a good first impression for our horror movie so the audience know what they're getting.

Conventions in the Horror Genre

     

Main Task (FINAL CUT)

Sounds Associated With Horror

Film uses more than just visual effects to create suspence and certain emotions. The audio has become very important in movies and especially the Horror genre. Horror create some of the most iconic sound effects used in the film industry and they use them to great effect, to cause tension and nail-biting, pillow-squeezing, white-knuckle scenarios.

The key to creating tension and causing scary moments in horror movies is the background music which have to signify that something bad is going to happen to keep the audience on the edge of their seats or peeking behind the cushions, this feeling of not wanting to watch but having to is what the horror genre is all about

This sound could be used as a jumpscare to create a loud noise and terrify the audience.

 

Sounds that are included in other film genres are sometimes modified to fit in to the horror genre. for example, a laugh like this is clearly modified to sound demonic and scary.

 

 

 

Sounds we here in real life are even scary if used appropriately in horror.

 

Non-edited Version

This is our film without any editing, it has 4 and a half and minutes worth of footage which is good because i gives us plenty of room to edit the film. There were some trouble with some of the scenes in terms of continuity but hopefully, well-timed editing will eliminate most of these errors.

Filming

These are images of us filming our opening title sequence and overall, i think that the session went well however it was our second session as we were unorganised for the first session. We got all of the shots we needed however there may be some minore mistakes and the editing will have to be top notch if we want this opening title sequence to look brilliant.
We used our own camera and tripod because they were better quality and the tripod was more functional. Our main problem was the microphone as it didnt quite fit the jack, however we got it in on most of the scenes we needed audio on.
