RESEARCH: FILM OPENING INITIAL IDEAS

My group consists of: Bea, Chloe, James and I (Alex)

Genre: Horror, Psychological Thriller and Sociopath Film

Main story line to be based on a teenage boy, who is a sociopath and is obsessed with a girl and will do anything to be with her 

Locations: 
• Outside the Workshop on Claremont Grounds
• Inside the Workshop on Claremont Grounds
• Kingston Mall 

Using our tight schedule of when we have media classes to film this production, we thought about editing and adjusting the brightness and exposure of the video clips, so that it could look like the same time of the day, since all our media lessons are at different times of the day. 


Since Bea is a talented makeup artist, we were thinking of using some of her abilities to make bloody and grotesque Halloween body effects, like cuts and bruises, from such makeup, like face paint, lipstick, eye shadow, etc.

James is good at editing films in iMovie; this means that we can use his abilities, to create a film with excellent editing. He will be able to add special effects and know how to create a certain creepy tone for our film. Since, he is good at editing he can also create our ident.

Chloe did GCSE Music; therefore she can create a unique sound for our film production, by recording in the studio we have in the music department. 

My role will be to help out with any extra editing needed for the film production, as well as documenting our film’s log of filming for our blogs. I’ll do this by taking pictures on my iPhone and upload them to my blog, while reviewing what we did, what equipment was used, where we filmed and what we can do to improve. 

Possible Cast: 
• Sociopath Teen Boy
• Innocent Victim Girl
• Friend of Victim Girl
• Boyfriend of Victim Girl

Our group drew inspiration on a variety of previous films, revolving around sociopaths whereby they have strange obsessions and stalk the victim, such as Psycho (1960) and Single White Female (1992). We decided to center the film around teenagers to give a clever spin on other sociopath films. In addition, we did this since it would work best for cast choices and was the most cost efficient.
