The document outlines plans for an opening horror film sequence titled "Izabelle". It will feature a teenage boy tied to a tree in an isolated wooded area. Representation and genre conventions will be challenged through an Asian male protagonist. Filming will take place over a week in January 2016, with risks including bad weather and equipment issues.

2. In the opening sequence which we will film, a guy will
wake up captured and tied to a tree with rope.
The actual movie will be finding out how he got to that
point.
THE MOVIE

3. • The title sequence will be within the opening scene
and will be fairly simple rather than a whole 2 minute
sequence in itself.
• We looked at other title sequences for inspiration such
as Se7en, insidious and The Incredible Hulk.
• In the end, we decided to do a more simple title
sequence than a long one as it was not necessary.
THE TITLE SEQUENCE

4. The genre is of course horror but within horror there are many
sub-genres.
Before deciding, the main narratives that our group were
interested in was the psychological horrors.
This was because we really like how the movies focuses on
characters’ emotions, fears and general instability to really build
and create tension throughout the narrative.
GENRE AND SUB-GENRE

5. There will only be the two main
characters in our opening sequence.
This is the guy being isolated and the
spirit girl.
We will be challenging the stereotypes
of this teenager as normally in horror
movies the actress is a vulnerable
female lead whereas we will have an
asian guy.
Jacob will be acting.
REPRESENTATION OF
CHARACTERS

6. INSTITUTIONAL DETAIL
We decided to name ourselves the
Paradox productions and this is
our company logo. Our logo
simply consists of a picture of a
camera and the name so it is not
irrelevant.

7. • Our primary target audience is between 18-25 year olds. Our
secondary audience is 25-35 year olds.
• We will attract our primary audience by having our protagonist
be a teenager.
• We think the main thing that our audience will expect and
require to stay interested is a sense of mystery.
AUDIENCE DETAIL

8. The location we will be using is in a wooded area. The
teenager will be tied to a tree.
The setting is good because it represents the isolation
We chose this locations as it is very easy to use due to it
having easy access.
Also, woods are a convention of horror.
MISE EN SCENE – LOCATION AND
SETTING

9. The spirit (Izabelle) will be wearing a white dress with a
pale face. The teenager will wear jeans and a top. He will
have makeup so that he looks beaten up.
The main crops being used are a chair in a bad state and
ropes.
MISE EN SCENE – PROPS,
COSTUME AND MAKEUP

10. We are yet to decide on the non-diegetic sounds as this
will be done during editing.
There will not be many diegetic sounds to represent the
isolation other than the dialogue.
SOUND DESIGN

11. IZABELLE
We chose this font and wrote it in capitals because it is quite bold
and the colour red is a connotation of horror.
