Horror Movie opening: 'The River' final draft.

This is likely to be the final version of our horror film, after two critical responses from the class we improved our film from the feedback and to a standard we were happy with so hopefully it comes across better and looks improved to the inital draft of which I uploaded earliar.

Props in our horror film

We used a range of props in our production such as a rope which we used for Micheal's death scene, we also used ketchup as blood and masks for the antagonists to make them appear as scary as possible. We also used a football which was the main prop in our film, the ball was chosen as white to show its purity and innocence and when the blood fell upon it it showed it was tainted which resembles the characters innocent teens/children oblivious to the dangers of the forest then suffering for it by the hands of the 'masked ones' the blood being spilled showing their innocence and purity is forever gone.

Horror Movie Opening storyboard

We posted these later then we wanted because of apparent problems with the scanner. This storyboard shows the plot of our opening, aswell as action,sound type,camera movement, type of shot, the edit etc in each shot. After the storyboard was made however we did change a few things such as an extra scene at the end to emphasise the opening was not the final thing as we had our title appear at the ending. We also changed some edits throughout and also put in some extra effects such as when we put Michael's hanging scene in black and white, which made it more conventional to horror and emphasised that the girl's world had crashed around her. Some of the shots also changed when filming the real thing also, some were removed to reduce time.
