3. Style sheet
• Colours
The blue and the black screen are there as I plan on having
some in my project as text boxes. The glitch and electric
colours represent the distorted side I plan on, and the pastel
one represents the soft side.
• Fonts
I wanted to focus on the main title and I chose some fonts for
it, including Cheri regular, which I plan on using. All of them
are smooth and curly fonts to show innocence.
• Images
I wanted some pastel images for the first aesthetic, something
glitch for the computer design and I wanted something that
was just general horror.
4. Style sheet choices
• Colours- The pastel colours are soft which will draw my audiences
attention and I think they’ll enjoy the contrast with the louder
colours as well. My genre also fits well with the theme- it being
subtle horror, so the bright colours would represent that, being
masked by the pastel colours to make it seem more innocent. I will
be keeping these colours in mind and replicating similar shades on
Photoshop- but not the actual shades as I want my work to be
unique.
• Fonts- The soft fonts are easy to look at and read, while still being
bold to capture my audiences eye. It fits well with the pastel theme,
a soft title for soft colours. With these fonts I can create multiple
titles until I find the right one and I can place them in different
spaces, perhaps even incorporating more then one.
• Images- The images incorporate the aesthetic that I’m trying to go
for- with mostly pastel a few bright and almost glitchy, and one dark
and rustic. The audience will appreciate the three different styles
and how they work together, choosing the one that they like the
most- so it’s important to have all 3 included.

10. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Software shutting down Save work periodically
Not saving properly Make sure to save in more then one location-
always keep backups.
Losing my work Keep everything is separate files so that it’s
easy to find (1 file for audio, 1 for power points
etc.)
Can’t find audio needed Have backups to choose from and a lot of
different sites to pull audio from.
Idea takes too much time Work on smaller ideas first or cut out anything
unnecessary.
Images are blurry Make sure to get clear images or images similar
to the blurry ones to replace them.
11. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
Computer shorts out because it’s overheating Take breaks from the computer regularly and
switch computers every so often
Spill water on the computer Keep water bottles away from the computer at
all cost.
Drop equipment on my foot Carry all equipment safely and never take more
than I can handle.
Headaches Turn down the brightness of the screen
Backache Sit properly in chairs instead of slumping over
Stress Set times to do everything by so I know what
I’m doing all the time.
