1. Proposal
Title of film - “The Were-Bull”
Film Summary
The film i will be creating is a 1950’s + 60 inspired horror-comedy film, The film is
about a hunter is called anonymously to investigate a small villages “animal problem”.
To create my film i am going to be implementing similar techniques that classic horror
films used to communicate this classic feel to my film, ways i will be doing this are;
creating a mis-en-scene that correctly represents codes and conventions, various use of
shots/shot types, implementing single camera techniques, use of editing techniques and
shooting the film in entirely black and white. The title of my film is the were-bull and i
wanted it to be a satirical and exaggerated take on 1950’s b-movie monster horror
culture with films like the hound of Baskerville, Creature of the Black Lagoon, The curse of
Frankenstein, and The Blob being stylistic inspirations. I picked the name because it
plays on the constant spinoff horror films that were made at the time and it’s short and
satirical enough to be remembered for an audience. The film will be around 5 mins long
and will use very similar techniques and will stylistically show the old horror film.
Logline
A seasoned hunter gets anonymously hired to hunt down a savage beast in a small rural
town that has reportedly been “pillaging” the fellow towns-people
Film Treatment
A well-known hunter called in by an anonymous towns person to investigate an “animal
problem” in the surrounding woods of the small rural town. When he arrives to the
village, the problem is worse than he thought as people start to are going missing
As he spends the next few days searching for the beast he finds unusual clues and
begins interviewing the townspeople he slowly finds out that the ‘problem’ is not at all
what it seems, eventually after interviewing a town sceptic who reveals she was the one
that called
She believes a blood curse has been put on the town of a “were-bull” like creature
created in revenge by a witch hundreds of years ago, after doing research on the
creature and reveals that the mayors daughter is the only one claimed to see the beast
after her and her friend went into the woods last harvest moon and her friend got taken
by it,
He manages to track it down to the woods and barely manages to kill it as he shoots it
with his last bullet, the beast dead then transforms into its original state turning out to
be the mayors daughter, who knew of his daughters curse but lied to the townspeople in
order to protect her.

paced sequence, the hight and climax of the story
Act 4 - the resolution where every loose string is unraveled and all the character arcs
have finished with a substantial ending/ possible cliffhanger at the end of the credits

character 2 - Donna - the town sceptic who phones in the hunter
character 3 - The beast (mayors daughter) - antagonist

Target Audience
My target audience is an older generation people similar to my age (50+) who may feel
disconnected from classic cinema, and may want not the complexities of modern day
storylines and drawn out recycled character arcs, because my film is inspired by classic
horrors, its very different from todays standards of horror and implements the same
techniques they used, and this can be nostalgic for an older generation to watch
something new but formatted from the cinema they grew up watching. As a result of
this it could also be a gateway for younger audiences to be introduced to older cinema
that has paved the way for cinema nowadays.
