We have chosen to produce a 2 minute introduction to a film originally created by ourselves. We chose this because we have a lot of experience in watching films, whereas with the magazine, we believed we're more knowledgeable when it comes to moving image..
We chose the horror genre, as I personally love horror films, therefore I have the potential to come up with lots of creative ideas. With a very limited budget, we'll have to go down the classical horror route, using weather to create an eerie effect, (pathetic fallacy). The target audience would be teenagers/young adults, who are able to appreciate the horror genre.
We would have to consider mise-en-scene for this, as we cannot produce brilliant special effects, therefore costumes will be a route we will consider. One horror film that is inspiring me is Sinister, it has a brilliant opening to it, with little special effects. The lack of sound in the intro ironically makes the scene way more intense. We are yet to decide on location, however I believe filming in an abandoned location will be most effective, as there is always a sense of helplessness. We've considered filming in the evening too, as it will be relatively dark, but not so dark that we need many lights everywhere to get a high quality picture.
