Idea 1: Baseball Basher
Who Ruben and Robin Ruth descended from the best baseball player in history and kept up that tradition. Ruben was
the favourite of the two siblings and the second best player in the family, and he was the most popular kid in
school. Robin was a nervous reck because her brother was a cruel bully to her and many kids in school who always
went unpunished.
What Ruben Ruth, the best baseball player in his school, was the most cruel bully in the country, his victims wanted
revenge! The biggest game he was going to be in got rigged by his victims to loose, instead it lead to his unintended
death (but was planned by the leader). Four years later, Ruben (re-named the “Baseball Basher”) comes back as a
zombie to kill his saboteurs from all those years ago.
Why Basher kills his past victims for killing him four years ago, he was the worst bully in the country and the worst to six
in particular (his sister included). The victims planned to sabotage Basher’s biggest baseball game were he would
play both striker and catcher. The victims all played the opposing team were they hit the ball far away, they were
hoping for him to not catch the ball and that would ruin his flawless baseball matches, instead the lead victim
broke a fence beneath the field and hit the ball far so Basher would trip when chasing it and be impaled on the
fence.
When The opening, were a 16 year old Basher dies, is set in 1979. Four years later, in 1983, Basher comes back for his
revenge!
Where The plot is set in the Atlanta baseball stadium, USA. Basher was buried outside of the stadium which is also were he
kills his saboteurs who are there for his anniversary death. I chose this city because I’ve been there many times and
I saw the biggest (and only) baseball stadium in my life.

Idea 2: Ice Club
Who Alexander Campbell, he was a sixteen year old boy who loved the cold and was an expert golfer, he showed his
skills off in school. Alex later gets knocked out and buried in a shallow grave, the winter’s cold embrace reanimates
his body. Alex becomes a frozen zombie who worships the cold as some sort of god, to show his devotion, Alex
plunges the world into a winter post-apocalypse.
What An expert golfer, Alexander Campbell, shows off his skills in school which moves the spotlight away from the jocks.
After a golf game in a wintery morning, the jocks knock out Alex with his own club and bury him in a shallow grave.
A month after his disappearance, Alex gets reanimated by the cold, the now called “Ice Club” kills his bullies with
his clubsicle, he then plunges the world into a winter post apocalypse, his way of showing gratitude to the cold for
bringing him back.
Why Club kills the bullies for taking away his future and ruining his life because they buried him in a freezing shallow
grave. Club then sends the world into a winter post-apocalypse because he views the cold as a god, it resurrected
him, so he shows his gratitude to it by placing snow and ice world wide. Club the creates sentient snowmen to wipe
out the last of humanity because he thinks they ruin the cold.
When The story is set in 2009, Club is left in his grave for a month but the year doesn't change.
Where The story takes place in Manor Church of England Academy, York/Britain. Club kills his bullies at the back of the
school, in the sports field. Club then makes the school into his base of operation where he makes snowmen to kill
the last of humanity.
How Clubs soul gets frozen inside his body before it can leave and go to heaven, instead the soul gets rerouted and fuses

Idea 3: Fireman
Who Burney Samson was trapped in the twin towers before they collapsed, he got extreme burns and buried under
rubble for twenty years. The newly named “Fireman” wakes up and (thanks to the third degree burns to the head)
goes on a killing spree after washing up in the 9:11 memorial through a drain. Unlike the others I’ve come up with,
Fire doesn't have certain targets, he simply kills whoever he comes across.
What A fire fighter was trapped in the twin towers before they collapsed, he got badly burnt but didn’t die, instead, he
got buried under rubble and put in a coma for 20 years. Fireman gets washed out of the rubble by a drain that
leads to the 9:11 memorial, thanks to his to his third degree burns that lead to insanity, he then goes on a killing
spree. One of the many grievers tries to stop him from shattering the already destroyed lives.
Why Thanks to the third degree burns he got from 9:11, Fireman is a simple psychopath who kills any one he sees.
Through his eyes, Fireman sees everybody as flames that must be extinguished, and the tools he uses to kill people
he views as water. The protagonist stops him because she thinks the families of 9:11 had suffered enough, they
don’t need to lose even more of their kin.
When The film is set in 2021, twenty years after the tragedy that was 9:11.
Where All of this death takes place in New York around the area of the new world trade centre and the memorial sight.
Fireman will kill the families who are still grieving at the memorial sight, he will also kill everybody in the new world
trade centre… one by one!
How The fireman didn’t die and come back, instead, he got put into a comma for 20 years and buried in rubble. Third
degree burns to the brain make him go insane and kill everybody who he sees as a fire that needs to be put out

Research
Summary
• What have you learned from your research? I’ve learned that, in horror movies: lighting
props and continuity is important. Lighting makes a scary atmosphere for the plot witch all
horror movies try to achieve. Deaths in horror movies are very common and the viewers
want practical effects for the kills other wise CGI ruins them, and fans are always wanting
horror sequels to be similar to the original.
• What aspects of the research will you include within your on work? I’ll include the lighting
of horror movies to make a creepy atmosphere in my own work. Practical effects will be
used for all the kills in my story. And if I continue my story I’ll make it connected to the
original instead of having convoluted reboots.

Poster Reflection
• What did I do? I made a poster from a movie title generator, the title being ‘raised by the moon’. I made my
poster be a knight who’s forever loyal to the moon. I chose pictures that were all one colour to give the
poster a blue themed design.
• How did it go? My poster turned out okay, but I had some difficulties at the start. I forgot how to use
photoshop which lead to technical difficulties, trying to cut out parts of images caused the hole thing to
crash. The title was also bland in colouring at the start, but I was able to get the work done in time.
• What did I learn? I quickly learned how to use photoshop after a lot of time had passed. The stuff I learned
on photoshop was; Placing and growing images, getting rid of backgrounds and add shading etc. I learned
how to make posters look interesting and less boring after a failed first attempt.
• How could that help me in my up coming project? Getting more experience with photoshop will allow me to
produce future magazine covers and posters quicker. I can use the failed title to make better titles for my
future design projects.
• What could I improve? I could add the extra parts of the poster which are: the Billing Block, Tag Line, Actors,
Release date etc. I could also add more detail to the bland title and add some extra details to the poster.
• What could I learn next? I could learn the other tools in photoshop to make my posters better looking in
their designs. I could learn more about the little details of posters to add more detail to my own poster
designs. And I could also learn different types of title designs to make mine less boring and more eye
catching.

Magazine Cover Reflection
• What did I do? I made a magazine cover of the videogame character Shovel Knight. The
Cover is simplistic and was put together quickly because of its short time limit.
• How did it go? The making of this poster was simplistic and short, but it was short because
of its short time allotment. It was a fun poster to put together, but some back ground
cutting out caused photoshop to freeze and accidently erase parts of my work.
• What did I learn? I learned that magazines have a lot going on in the front cover of the
magazine. Videogame magazines have the most detail on them and I will include more
detail in future projects.
• How could this help me in my up coming project? Learning that magazine covers have a lot
going on in them to intrigue the audience, I can use those designs. I can use those design
ideas to add to my own magazine covers to make them look more detailed.
• What could I improve? I could add more pictures to my magazine cover of videogame
character: Shovel Knight. I could add more pictures to have more going on in my videogame
cover to be more eye-catching and interesting.
• What could I learn next? I could learn all the design ideas for magazines and make a full
magazine book in future projects. I could learn the individual parts of a magazine cover to
make my covers more imaginative and detailed.

Colour Scheme
1. The grey will be over the protagonist and
victims in the poster, I chose the grey colour
scheme to resemble the boringness and
depression of the characters.
2. The white will show the characters and the
killer, I choose this to resemble a small beam
of hope for the victims survival and help the
audience see what's happening.
3. The darkness will be over most of the poster,
I choose this to resemble the scary setting of
being alone in the darkness.
4. The red will be the clothes of the killer and it
will be on most of the poster, obviously I
chose the red to resemble the blood of the
killers victims.

Fonts:
Melted Monster is the font I choose for my poster, it resembles the undead side of the story and it has blood dripping.

Magazine and advert layouts
I choose to make the design look like this because it is simple but it can give the
reader a basic idea of what the story would be about.

Synopsis
• At the city of Atlanta, America in 1979, 16-year-old siblings Ruben and Robin Ruth (descendants
of Babe Ruth, the best baseball player in history) never get along. Ruben is favored both in school
and by his parents for having the same baseball skills his ancestor had. He never loses matches and
never gets bullied, but that’s because he is the bully! The spoiled little Brat he is, Ruben used his
favoritism to get away with whatever he wants to do. He is the worst bully in the country, bullying
six kids in particular: Martha Bergan, Raymond Chaplin, Eddie Delahanty, Gregory Hallman, Joanna
Calisto and his own sister: Robin.
• The six friends plot their revenge by dressing up as the opposite team in Ruben’s most recent
game at Truist Park. They would throw a ball which he would miss. This would ruin his perfect
streak and make him loose his popularity. Instead, the ball hit Ruben’s face and he tumbles over a
railing he fell and gets impaled on a broken one. Except for five out of the six friends, the hole city
mourned him with Robin being the only one of the six feeling guilty.
• Ruben is buried close to Truist Park in his red uniform with his favorite wooden bat. He is
forgotten by most after his burial, but some go to the stadium on the anniversary of his death to
keep his memory alive. Four years later, Ruben’s soul is in hell, wanting nothing but vengeance for
his life and future being cut short. The devil reanimates him on his anniversary to kill the six that
indirectly killed him. In exchange, he could feast on the souls of his victims.
• While Robin goes to the stadium to grieve the other friends only come to celebrate the
anniversary of his death. At the same time Ruben crawls out of his grave, gets his bat, and goes to
the stadium to kill them one by one! Most friends lose interest in celebrating. They decided to
leave, but Ruben locked the main door, so they split up to find another exit.
• Ruben (now called The Baseball Basher, or simply Basher) has his first blood by killing Martha.
She goes into the locker room to find an exit but only finds a lock door. Martha attempts to open
the door, but sounds cause her to turn around and see Basher face to face. Basher doesn’t hesitate
as he hits Martha to the ground with the bat. He goes to town on her, throwing 20 hard swings on
the skull until her head is reduced to mush. He wipes the blood of his bat and leaves the body with
the spurting jaw stump for his victims to find.

Synopsis
• Basher then finds Eddie in the equipment room; he tackles him to the ground and ties him up with cable
ties and knocks him out.
• Eddie wakes up to find all his limbs separately tied to a massive net facing a ball launcher. Basher puts spikey
baseball balls in the machine which impale Eddie all over the body. The last ball lands in his mouth which
basher pushes deeper into his mouth, finally killing him.
• The last lone friend is Greg who walks through the field only to get hogtied by Basher with a large rope
attached to his legs. He moves to the center of the four bases and begins to swing Greg in squares around each
base face first. Greg is bleeding all over the front of his body where he witnesses Basher beginning to run round
the bases, building up speed, jumping over his body at the same time. Basher then skids to the base where
Greg’s head is placed. He uses the spikey soul of his shoes to knock half the face off him.
• Robin, Ray and Joanna eventually make their way to the exit where they find the bodies of Eddie when
taking a short cut through the field. Joanna vomits and faces her friends only for a spare broken bat to be hit
over her head with the bat head made spikey. Basher stabs her through the back and keeps on jamming it
deeper until her heart gets pushed out from the other side. Basher takes out his real bat and chases Robin and
Ray through the stadium where they run past the corpses of their friends.
• Basher eventually loses their trail. Robin and Ray hide behind one of the locked rows. Ray decides to distract
Basher, so Robin has a chance of escape. Ray tells her that Basher burnt his family’s house down when he was
sixteen, plunging his family into extreme poverty. Ray was the thrower who made a railing spikey and broken for
Basher to fall onto. He threw the ball intently hard so he would fall on the railing and die, all as an act of
vengeance.
• Unloading all this truth onto Robin left her shocked as Ray shouts for Basher’s attention. Ray attempts to
run as Basher peruses him only to slip on the pool of blood left by Martha’s crownless head. Basher forces Ray’s
mouth open where he shoves his bat down his throat. Several twists of the bat caused the front of Ray’s torso
to explode. Robin eventually snaps out of her trance, grabs a bat to defend herself with and flees to the main
entrance.

Synopsis
• Basher corners her at the entrance where
brother and sister have a brief bat fight before
he gets her in a choak hold with his bat. Robin
attempts to break free until she looks at her bat
which us decaying and broken. She kicks Basher
in the crouch which causes him to drop his bat
and focus on the pain. Robin hits the bat over
Basher’s head which knocks his helmet off and
makes the bat spikey. She slits his throat with it,
but the giant slash from the bat causes his hole
head to come off.
• In the end, Robin escapes, and her brother
dies all over again. His soul goes back to hell
where the devil can still resurrect him.

Reflection
• What I did: I made a poster on a baseball slasher who killed kids that ruined his
career one by one with a baseball club.
• How it went: When I was taking pictures of the actors on the stairs some
people passed and disrupted the photo shoot, and the actors messed around
which made the production last longer, but in the end, I was able to get one
successful shot of them and I got a lot of successful shots of the slasher. Trying
to find a side of the college that looked like a stadium was a challenge, but I
eventually found a good enough spot for the backdrop, I also had to take
pictures of blood-soaked props with fake blood, I eventually had one successful
shot at the expense of spending a long time washing the fake blood off. The
editing was difficult at first, with me having to make an unknown number of
posters, I eventually got the hang of it and made all of them on time.
• How I could’ve improved it: I could’ve chosen more sensible students from the
class to be the characters for my photo shoot, and I could’ve found a better
place to take pictures without people passing by, next time I know who to
choose and I will use an emptier stair well for my photography. I could’ve gone
to the Cineworld football stadium to be my backdrop instead of using a
background that looked nothing like a stadium, I could’ve also brought wipes to
properly get rid of all the fake blood I put on the props, I will take better
pictures outside of college and bring proper cleaning materials next time. I
could’ve planned more ahead with the posters so I could edit proper ideas I
made, next time I will devote more time to the planning in my spare time.
• What I’m going to do next: I’m going to wright my synopsis of the posters story;
I did this subject the opposite way round because I brought my props in of the
first day.

Reflection on Synopsis
• What I did: I wrote the story of what’s going on in my poster.
• How it went: I was afraid that I wouldn't write the synopsis right and I would’ve
had to constantly go back and change it until I did it right. However, after I
wrote it, I only had three problems to correct; write everything in the present
tense, leave more full-stops instead of commers and write why the characters
went to the place they were going to get killed in. I solved the problems by;
changing the first few paragraphs to present tense by changing some words,
making the long sentences into short ones by changing the commers into full-
stops and change the plot from the characters mourning to celebrating their
victim's death.
• How I could’ve improved it: Despite producing this story for weeks on end,
there were still some plot holes in my story, and I covered the deaths in too
much detail. I could’ve improved the plot by explaining the characters motives
and actions more in the story than making them to just simply die, next time I
will make the characters more complex. I could’ve improved the plot’s length
by cutting down on the gory details of the deaths which would shorten the
story by a page, I will have the plot not so reliant on the plot next time.
• What I’m going to do next: I’m going to make a double spread sheet.

Reflection on Double
Spread Sheet
• What I did: I made a double spread sheet on my adventure poster.
• How it went: At first, I thought it would be difficult to make a spread
sheet, but I found it surprisingly easy when I began to make earlier
today. I struggled to properly put my real-life images onto the
background in photoshop and were to position the filler red text
which I feared couldn’t be seen. After 40 minutes, I was able to make
a proper double spread sheet, I was able to put the real-life picture in
and I was able to position the text in properly which was viewable.
• How I could’ve improved it: The poster did look a little bit bland
when it was properly excited and finished, but despite it’s flaws it still
worked in the end. I could’ve made the double spread sheet more
detailed because it was just a black screen with red writing and a
picture of my killer, next time I will look through more double spread
sheets to get more creative ideas. I could’ve made proper text for the
double spread sheet instead of just having filler for all the side
writing on the double spread sheet, I will write about the production
history in the text to not have filler.
• What I’m going to do next: I’m going to research things for my LMP.
