Research ideas for ETCH
Synopsis
This films genre will be horror/thriller.
We witness a series of murders of a few members of a group disliked popular group of students at secondary school. The main character is one of the students who are the least popular in the group and realises what it takes to be part of the group. She has a dual nature that she is not aware of and a symbolic yellow and red tablet shows the audience who is next to die. In addition, an old-fashioned watch around her neck is another symbolic prop where she times how long it takes the tablet to react and kill the victims.
The story is account from a Child's perspective making the story innocent, imaginative and disturbing. The child is the sibling of one of the victimised classmates and is forced to come along with her. Through the child, we witness the death of his older sibling and many more of the peers.
The ending will only have the child and one other classmate to tell the story. The child traumatised by the event and we later discover that the child develops psychological effects leaving the audience in suspense through a cliffhanger.
Target audience
My target audience will be people aged 15-19 as it will most of the characters are 16-19 and so the audience will be able to relate to the characters more. The rating of the film will be rated 15 as it will contain realistic violent scenes that is tolerable by this age range but not is not too violent that they won’t be able to cope with these scenes. It is not a film that is over powering and influential; however, the content may still be frightening for younger viewers which is the reason for the age rating for 15 years of age plus.

Inspiration for editing of Engraved Split (the name of mine and michelle's film)
27/11/2009- 04/12/2009
drawn and have annotated storyboardsteaser plan is scenes written out.
2x Teaser/trailer Analysis texas chainsaw massacre and ...-comment on how these may influence your own teaser

Production log:
•My role
•What went well.
•What could have been improved.
•What am I doing next week.
shot list our amimoto will be done.filming and sound completed.
This week I have made changes and developed my teaser plan further
Drawn my storyboard,
Arranged the actors for the teaser and a meeting were set up to organise which actor would suit best for each role.
Props were organised for a few of the scenes
Together me and Michelle have organised dates in which we will aim to finish filming due to the availability of our actors and the locations set.
This is the name that we have agreed on for our film title. Hopefully I am hoping for the blood in the background to be splattered on to the screen on the edited version of the film. So for e.g. engraved split will come up on the screen and then a splat of blood will come from behind. So I will firstly put the title on the screen then blood splat on top of it then bring title to the front then zoom into title.
Create a diary for the evaluation.
