Music for "Gone"

Music is a big deal for any film but I believe it is most important for the Horror and Thriller Genre's. The music can determine the suspense of the film and how much it can make the film genre even more relevant by just with the music making the film scary. We gained our music inspiration from the first Woman in Black film. This is a very good example of just how the music can create a huge suspense for a film.

We wanted to use music for our film along these lines as the music in a film can create a good or a bad film in certain cases even though it is not very realised.

BFI Trip

Before we entered the BFI Centre:

On the BFI trip we heard from many different special guests from production companies giving their intake on Media. We gained knowledge with how the real media world works and what has to be done with the production of a movie. We learnt many different interesting facts such as the amount of time that actually goes into a final release of a movie which can be years. Throughout the day the main focus was to do with the 6 main intuitions which are known as "The Big 6" these include:

1. 20th Century Fox
2. Universal
3. MGM
4. Disney
5. Warner Bros
6. Paramount

Characters and Roles

Connor - Connor took the role of being the young boys friend who he was playing football in the park with. He was the character who kicked the ball in one of the first shots and was looking around for the young boy in the park. 

James - James was the role of the young boy who went missing and mysteriously and in a sinister style walked around the place randomly. We did this to create a scary and creepy feel.

Jack - Jack mainly had the role of filming and directing. Jack had to make some really good shots which we pulled off which put him in uncomfortable positions and conditions. He was mainly in charge of making sure everyone was doing the shots correctly and also helped tom with editing.

Tom - Tom mainly had the role of editing. We changed a lot of shots and music which we wanted in our opening so Tom had a lot to edit i not a lot of time.

Location of Shots

This is where most of the filming will take place. This will feature in the outside shots through the wooded are where the boy goes missing.

More of the filming will also take place here. This will feature in only 2 or 3 shots but gives us more variety with lighting and location. 

Synopsis Planning

Once we had decided our genre for our opening sequences we then had to come together with ideas and what we could include in our film.

What we need:

• Make-up
• Ball
• Dark Outfit
• Camera
• Strobe Lighting

Setting:

Opening sequence will be filmed throughout a dark park where most of it will be filmed. The rest will be filmed throughout dark corridor's and open areas. The film with me mostly filmed in the dark with some light areas.

Audience:

We are looking to aim our film towards the 15-30 audience. We will start at 15 because of the rating of our film which will be a certificate 15. Also through audience research we have gained knowledge that the audience that mostly enjoy horror films is more of the younger audience with the horror genre being a favourite with the younger generation.

Poster Inspiration

We gained Inspiration from these two posters which are two very well known horror films which are "The Uninvited" and "Mama". We found the inspiration through it being one of the top films in the genre we are creating a film in and the actual design and themes if the photos. Both of the posters show horror and loneliness which we wanted to portray in our film poster.
