Our Initial Ideas for our Main Task.

For our main task we first decided on a genre, for our film we have decided to work under the Psychological Horror genre, we have decided this because we are all avid fans of Psychological Horrors, but also because it appeals to a mass audience of both females and males.

We decided that we would follow a typical serial killer route, using a victim and a killer as this is also more easier to film.

We decided that our perfect location would be an abandoned warehouse or factory that our killer resides in, the reason we decided on this is because the scenery would suit the genre perfectly, it would be atmospheric and therefore create suspense and tension, we just had to find this place but luckily for us the perfect place was just down the road from college.

For costumes we decided that the killer could wear any type of clothing as long as it was black and he would wear a Skimask/Balaclava with the design of a clown on it (Aaron had this so he supplied the mask easily). We also decided that the victim can wear any type of clothing, whatever clothing he wears when we start filming he wears for the rest of filming.

With props we were apprehensive, but when we arrived at our location for the first time we saw that it was absolutely full of possible props, chairs, ladders, empty spray paint cans, large pieces of wood and even large lightbulbs.

For editing we all made a 100% decision to make the footage black and white, as this would add a heavier feeling of pessimism and tension.

For the soundtrack we decided that initially we would want a heavy industrial track, similar to our researched introduction sequences Se7en and The collector, we then realized it would be better to decide on the soundtrack when the editing has finished, that way we can decide what would suit the video.
