Film Brief RESIT!!!

As a group, we all sat down and drew up a mind map of all our potential ideas for our horror film. We began to think about the plot and the main storyline of our horror film. We have decided to base our media piece around 'psychological stalking' rather than just having a typical murder mystery.

It's based around a group of mentally and psychologically ill men that are looking for defiante features of different women where they could create their own perfect being. The victims are the women that match what the stalkers want, and they will turn out to having a cross on the selected body part. This will hint towards the actual plot, however leaving the audience wondering what exactly will happen next. Each of the victims will be followed home, or to somewhere where they are going to be alone. The main plot focuses around the Male Gaze Theory were women are seen as obsessions, therefore the female parts of each of the protagonist characters are something that the antagonist villans want. The plot opens up and the audience can see what the storyline is when a number of different women experiance the same type of attack. 'The Decent' is the only film that we could compare stroylines too when a group of 6 women go caving and get attacked by men. As a gender, women are seen as more vunerable to men therefore we made the women the protagonist characters. In our horror film the women are all attacked by different men that are all un-known to ther audience, however they have a destinct accent and look about all of them. The women are identified by their femanine features and taking to a house in the middle of the countryside, where they are butchered in an un-humanly way for the mens enjoyment. 'Enya' is the main character that ends up being the only character thats still alive, and whole.

We will use a lot of typical codes and conventions that are regularly seen and used in horror films to create the tension and fear we desire. For example we will mainly use darkly lit rooms and use colours such as reds, black and browns. This will be to make the set creepier and more intense for the audience to watch as everything isn't as clear when the lighting is dimmed which emphasises the audience's fear of the 'unknown'. Vladimir Propps theory can partly be applied to our horror. Todorovs theory of Equilibrium is also implied in our horror as the plot begins with typical lives of the 6 females. A disruption occurs which is their attack and abduction, for Enya to disruption is resolved and she fights and successfully saves her life, although it can be argued that the plot does not enter the 're-equilibrium' as their lives are heavily disrupted and the other 5 females lives are not saved.
