*Target audience 2#

- Moodboard
*Murder weapon#

*Film synopsis#
  
- Firstly we see the victim sprinting down the road that leads to a graveyard. The audience is left puzzled as they do not know who is chasing him or what he’s running from yet. He is breathing heavily and keeps looking backwards to see what is behind him. Because he is not looking where he is going he trips over and falls to the ground. He gets to his feet and the silhouette of the killer dashes across the camera, at this point the audience has the idea that he is being chased and running from someone in particular, it’s also shows that this antagonist is superior to the victim because he can outwit him quickly. The victim utters “I think I lost him” there’s dramatic irony at this point because we know that he hasn’t got away and is still vulnerable. Then the screen goes black and we hear the sounds of bones cracking. After this, we see the murderer dragging the corpse away from the murder scene and dumping him behind a hut. Next, we jump to a red room with pictures of other people on the walls, the murderer laughs and crosses of his latest victim.
*Location#

Here are pictures of some suggested loactions...
 
Chilwell Cemetary: The alley leading to the entrance 
The scenary fits perfectly for our opening sequence, as it connotes alot of aspects from the horror genre, like darkness at night, its narrowed and enclosed. Its also extremely convienent as it is extremely close to school also.

Here is another grave yard we considered using for shooting, but it is too open and bright, and does'nt particularly have the horror feel we were looking for! It is exposed to too much light during the night time, and we need the area to be dark at sunset for the aspects to all fit together. 
 


 
                                    

*Match on action#

- Match on action is a technique of filming used in many sorts of films. It consists of connecting 2 shots together in which a character finishes off an action in the second shot that was started in the first one, for example a clip of a character walking through a door in which he opens the door being filmed from behind then the clip cuts to him walking through from the other one.

*Aim#

At the end of the production of our film, i hope to be able to answer these questions:

- In what ways does your media product use, develop or challange forms and conventions of real media products?

- How does your product re-present particular social groups?

- What kind of media institution might distribute your film and why?

- Who would be the audience for your media products?

- What have you learned about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

- Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learned in the progression from it to the full product?
