3. Colour Schemes
Black
Red
Purple
Grey
White
Brown
White, to contrast with
the darker colours
symbolised with the
horror genre, and also to
add a sense of
innocence.
Black to create tension
by using darkness to but
the audience on edge,
and to add to the horror
genre and stereotypical
dark theme of horror.
Red, to again stick with
the typical horror
aesthetic. But to also
contrast the bright red
with the dark shades,
and to highlight the
gore.
Purple is a colour of
royalty, power, and
pain.
Grey is a lifeless,
depressing colour that
shows hopelessness.
Brown is the colour of
the earth.

5. Layout 2
Story Board
Start off with an
empty room with
only a single door
at the far end. The
room is mostly
dark, but you can
see the far walls.
Only the door is
properly visible.
The same shot, but now a ballerina is visible in the shot. The
ballerina dances as the camera moves around her showing a
360° view of both her and the rest of the room. (Showing the
stairs in the far corner).
Close ups begin
to happen whilst
she dances,
starting off with
her tutu.
More close ups
happen, before
slowly zooming
out to show the
whole image
again. When the whole image is shown, you see a now tired and
dishevelled ballerina cut and bruised with ripped clothing.

Not enough light. Take and use enough lights to light the room.

8. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
Getting burnt my candles. Candles will be handled carefully and
will be kept away from direct skin
contact.
Falling over rubble in the building. Before we start filming, we will clear
the room of any rubble and hazards.
Falling over branches and stuff in the
forest, fields.
Whilst walking around we will shine a
light on the floor and watch our
footing carefully.
Setting fire to things. When not in use, candles will be
blown out, and will only be put on
stable, and flat surfaces.
Falling over in the dark. When walking everywhere, and
beneath our feet will well lit, and we
will pay close attention to any steps.
