The Pitch Of Our Horror Movie
Today in lesson we were taught what the process is of making films. We realised the amount of financial backing is needed even for low shoe stringed budgets which is still high amounts of cash. Also how much time and effort it is to organise dates, settings, props and castings at the right times to produce the film. It is split into three main categories: Pre-Production, Production and Post-Production.
After we then got told we would have to pitch are idea of are teen horror films to are chief examiner on November 1st on which should include a working title and brief details about the storyline of the film.

Horror Film : Wrong Turn
On the 6th October, we looked at the article about the opening of 'The Shining', a classic horror film starring Jack Nicholson. We then got shown a film called Wrong Turn produced in 2003 which is a teen horror movie. We were given a task to pick out key conventions like audio and visual elements which made it a good start to the film.
There are many different visual elements used in Wrong Turn. At the start of the film there is a very high birds eye view of the settings which emphasises to the audience that these people are in the middle of nowhere and are going to be very vunerable. Also the camera is panning across the top of the trees and gets faster and faster as they get nearer the location of the teen couple which creates a slight mood of tension and creates a atmosphere of danger. Also when this is going on there are audio elements going on to add to the atmosphere, there is freaky and off putting music going and and the instruments used are mainly stringed instruments which creates a high pitched spooky sound, also added is a high tempo drumming noise to increase the tension of the opening scene.
