Editing

The process of editing is taking a long time to get our film 'silent killer' to a standard that we are happy with. We have had to change our films opening sequence to make it more effective for our target audience. As a result we have cut out some scenes and added a montage at the beginning of our opening sequence, this is to introduce our antagonist to the audience, making the audience fear him more when he makes his appearance later on in the opening sequence.

Filming update

We have had our film 'Silent Killer', independently assessed to make sure that our opening sequence is effective as possible. However, our feedback has convinced us that we would be beneficial to re-film some scenes in the next week.

Filming

Lonely Child Films filmed the opening scene to our film 'Silent Killer' on Monday evening with our lead actor, James Green, who plays our main Protagonist.

 



We have made a series of example posters to show the promotion of the film that we have planed in order to get our film noticed by our target audience in the most effective way possible...

Our timetable

Our timetable

This is our timetable which we need to stick to in order to meet deadlines, this will ensure that we will have as much time as possible to edit and ensure our film is as good as possible in order for it to appeal to our target audience and in turn lead to a success to benefit both us and our investors.

This is a mood board to show the interests of the target audience for a horror film. we will try to target out horror film at a similar audience to this to attract the best target audience for our film.

Here are a few things that people fear, we will try and include a few of these in our horror film opening sequence.

Please comment anything that you find scary.
