Media Project:Planning

When we began our media project, we immediately chose to make a horror film and discussed shooting outside of the school. We already had numerous suggestions for location. Unfortunately our plans changed as we weren't allowed to take the camera off site, so we proceeded to find a suitable location in the school to start filming.

Our group has chosen to shoot a horror movie because were are all interested in them and, as a class, we have previously looked at examples of short horror movies. Below is a clip we had watched. This clip is one of the factors that made us want to shoot a horror.

As we had many individual ideas for the project, we each made our own storyboards, then used elements of  them all to create the storyboard we are going to use.

One suggestion that was brought up in the group was to give the film a classic touch, this led to the colour being changed into black and white using iMovie in the editing process.

Location wasn't a problem for us, as we were shooting in an old school. After searching the school, we found a spiralling staircase and added it to the storyboard.We did this to emphasize the feel of a classic horror.

Below is a clip from the 1946 horror/thriller The Spiralling Staircase.
