Locations:

This table shows the locations we decided to film at. In this table it not only says where we are filming but when we did film and what permission we got to do so whilst also saying what we did to make the setting we filmed at match our chosen genre of Gothic Horror. We did have a large amount of setting's as our film can only be around 2 minutes in length. 

Filming Schedule:

Above is a table of our filming schedule which shows not only what dates will we filmed on but what we filmed and a description of those scenes. It also shows what props, costume and equipment was needed to help film the scene. Also contains what characters were needed on the day of shooting and what scenes they were needed for. 

Name of Movie:
The Woman in White

How will it appeal to your audience?
Our film will appeal to our audience for a number of different reasons. Firstly its because we have kept with a lot of conventions of a traditional Gothic Horror movie such as old styled clothing, we have incorporated modern cloths into our film as it is present day but still kept them dark or even old fashioned also with the addition of the suit and the brides dress. Also we have kept with the theme of allusiveness as you can see the simple story line but with the added supernatural being haunting are oblivious killer.

Props and Costume (Tech Research)

Any costumes, props or make up you need to bring in

This table that consists of our Props and costumes, it shows what we needed exactly for our film and where about did we get this prop or costume whether its bought or from home, whose bring it in and when.We luckily didn't need that any props and only a few costume changes which helped make the film much easier to make. 

Font research (Tech Research)

Font research for title sequence
Having the correct font is very key in a title sequence especially in a Gothic horror or plain horror movie as the font helps set the tone for the rest of the movie. 

This font is known as Knife Fight Ballet and was created by Chris Vile. I like this font type as its straight bold like letters looking like they've been cut up is very striking and instantly catches the audiences eye and the fact the font looks like it has been cut up helps set up the story for something that'll occur in most horror films such as people being killed by a weapon such as a knife which helps it convey horror conventions. 

This font also struck my eye. Its known as Scream and its by imagex. The reason this struck my eye is the paint brush wavy like way the font is designed which is a lot different to the first font I picked out as that one is very bold and striking where this one seems as the writing is wavy and free to move as it pleases which is why it was striking as it looks like it just waves around freely like a supernatural entity would such as a ghost. 

This font is known as The Grim Raiders by Chris Vile. This one was the most out visually striking as I believe its almost a combination of the previous 2 fonts I have viewed as this one not only has the striking end points as the letters points outwards of some letters also with the ragged edges giving it the knife like look. The ragged edges also make me think of the second font as it looks the the text is free to move around.  

Every Gothic Horror has a specific font which you'd associate with that certain film and its not even just Gothic Horror films, for example the film 'JAWS' has its iconic big bold red writing. Font is key as it has to not only match up with the background the font is on top of so its looks visually striking but also has to match the genre the film is as if the font itself is almost out of character it will not help set the tone.  

Costume (Tech Research)

Costume: 

We took inspiration from traditional gothic horror movies were we have a bride in a wedding dress making it look more older fashioned style but we have subverted the convention of Black dresses as Gothic Horror's are traditionally set in olden times with dark dresses but as our film is named 'The Woman in White' so we put are own twist onto it.

As you can see in the images below the dress now has marks all over it and still has blood dripping down it, in addition with the heavy dark make up on the face helps make the bride look more supernatural and of a ghost like entity as the costume represents that she has been dead for a significant while and wants revenge on the ones who talk all she wanted away.
