Production Company

Production Company;
-Big Scream Productions
 -We chose this because it is a play on words of the connotation of Films/Hollywood, it uses the word 'scream' instead of 'screen' so it relates to the films that the company produces, Horror.

The title sequence logo at the beginning of our film will have its own sequence, much like the big names such as universal and paramount. It will show someone lighting a candle and will be filmed at the same time as our title sequence. The low key lighting of the film and the candle easily connotes horror films. Also, the logo is very similar to the idea in which the title sequence is based on, a woman writing a book in a room only lit by candlelight.

Test photos of setting.

Setting test photos.


 




We have chose these locations for our film because we felt that they show a normal life for the young couple that star in our film. This will add realism towards the start of the film because the audience wil easily be able to relate to the film as they will recognise the location. We also chose this location because it is suitable for our film, the mirror in the hallway is a good way to build tension in the opening scene, as it holds different ideas that we could exploit and use. An example of these ideas is one person seeing things in the mirror that no one else can see, this would exploit the ideas of mental illness or paranormal activity.
