Character costume (planning)






Character name:
Emily Mccall

Emily Mccall is one of the 'doctors' victims. Mccall had managed to escape the torture and experiments the doctors has inflicted on her but the idea of freedom slowly fades away as when she is running away from the abandoned building she hears foot steps not to close behind her these footsteps happen to belong to the doctors who soon catch up to her as she trips allowing them to be face to face with the terrified teenage girl, her clothes are worn, dirty and covered in blood to show the struggle that she has occurred. She is in normal casual clothing showing she is just a regular teenager as she was kidnapped while taking a walk through the forest after seeing friends. She has dark circles from the lack of sleep and blood running down her neck and face from the brutal treatment the doctors had given her.

Emily represents this idea that it is mostly teenage girls who are in danger and face the most risk of being taken.




PLANNING: Use of sound in student title sequences


31. Pharez Vitalis, Eray Kara, Yuksel Yilmaz, Jakub Jozefowicz from 283goswell on Vimeo.


This was my favourite video. This is because the sound used within the video is very professional and goes well with the clips and how the people are reacting/acting. This helps show the genre but also doesn't give away a lot of the plot away to the audience.

PLANNING: Who is my target and what do they think?

My target audience is mainly male aged between 22-26 although the target audience can be female too but the female audience would typically be around 24+. This is because many people used in horror films are young females in their early 20's but because the female target audience is older they wouldn't feel as if they are the victim, which in turn would make them feel much more comfortable while watching.
