In addition to this we also found that most horror films are certificated either a 15 or 18 which earlier links with our discovery of older teenagers being able to understand and maybe even relate to some scenes within these genres of films.

Close up of him grabbing her and torturing her again. Throughout actually filming, we had to change the shot list. We firstly did this by taking out the beginning scene of running through the house then through the forest. We did this because we decided that the sequence looked much better when you go straight into the flashbacks. I then came up with the idea of filming silhouettes at the beginning of the sequence which gains tension for the audience and makes them thinking about whats going on before the film has even started. Are aim really in the opening film was to just give a hint away when the actual film started the audience would be shocked and overwhelmed by the outcome. We finally added much more shots into the scenes, for example the silhouette scene, which was a close up of the two shadowed figures. The step scenes which are various scenes within the sequence with display an extreme close up of trainers walking down the stairs. Then finally we the following shot of Ariadne walking up the stairs in the restaurant to get married.
Our Final Production Plan is based on an abusive marriage where the husband tortures his wife, physically and mentally, locking her in a basement. Our opening sequence begins with Victoria (the wife) quickly gathering necessities and then hastily running from the house into a forest. However, she did not escape very far due to the capture of her by her husband. We then switch to the basement where she is forced to stay. The audience then see her reminiscing via old photographs whilst having frequent flashbacks of memories before marriage. Interrupting the last flashback, we find the husband ready to abuse his wife again.
Good Aspects: - We have a clear storyline for the opening sequence that is effective because it is easy to follow and understand. - This scene also give the also a clear understanding of what the film will contain however also giving it potential to have a good or bad outcome. - The music is intense and full of tension so the audience knows clearly that the genre of this film is Thriller-Horror. -Not expensive as we have all the props and costumes we are going to use. Bad Aspects: - The sequence will be quite time consuming as we need to film it in many separate locations and we each have other commitments. - Editing may not be like the way we imagined as there are many flashbacks which can be hard to edit in. - We rushed the planning, changing the storyline several times as we ran out of time and needed to start filming therefore we believe we could have made the plot more simplistic and polished. Clothing:
Girl -casual clothing -old/dirty -white dress Boy -Blazer/shirt -Casual clothing Friends -Casual clothing Props: - Bags - Food - Ring - Lighter - Pictures - Handcuffs/Rope This location was used for the wedding ceremony, we used the upper level to convey that their relationship is moving up as well as showing that the couple are the main focus of this event. This location is a typical place for a dinner date however, we were unable to have a single table for the couple which defeats the stereotypical view of a date.
In our opening sequence we decided not to use a script as we are focusing more on the tension and intensity of the music. We will only be improvising in certain sections for example when the girl screams 'NO' or when the couple are mumbling their vows, however the script is insignificant to the music.
The findings of the survey has not affected our idea of our production that much. However, the type of actors has in the sense that we were originally going to have a male dominated opening yet our survey suggested that we should of have more female dominated which we have agreed with to meet the audience's wish.
