This document outlines the pre-production planning for a short film titled "Friday the 13th". It includes details on the title sequence layout, establishing the masked killer, lighting setup, required props and locations, contingency planning for issues like bad weather, and a proposed 5-day production schedule. The title sequence will use red text and fading elements to set a dark, horror tone. The masked killer will be revealed on screen to establish the film. Necessary props include a hockey mask, machete, and outdoor clothing. Locations will include a dark forest and house.

1. Pre-Production
Fraser Hardwick

2. Style sheet
Friday the 13th

3. Layout 1
Starting point will be
where I put the title
sequence in. to introduce
the characters title and
names of actors etc…
These will fade in and out
all using the same styles
of font except for the title
and its “add on” caption.
I used red because it is a
grim dark colour that can
represent blood. Its also
darker as well because to
give a horror look to it.

4. Layout 2
Friday the 13th
Showing the title with the
iconic movie killer to
resemble what the viewer is
watching and establishing
the short film with. This will
stay on screen till masked
killer is fully lit this will
happen by him coming
towards the screen and
when he is fully shown. then
the movie clip would
continue. Lights will be set
up round the camera for the
perfect light.

6. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Bad weather Makes more of a scarier atmosphere to the
film adding more grit to it.
Location we’re using is unavailable Use one of the backup locations we have.
People start getting cold Bring spare clothing so people can get warmed
up wile waiting for next shoot.
People needing to eat/drink Have regular breaks between shooting giving
enough time to eat and drink.
People losing meeting point Arrange a meeting point before as well as
meeting before at the point. so people know
exactly where to meet
