1. Planning
1. Ideas generation – Arif Uddin

2. 2. Proposal – Arif Uddin
Idea Summary
We have decided to follow the horror/thriller genre. We have come to
this decision due to our findings on primary and our secondary research.
We have individually found out that, the horror genrefranchiseis very
popular compared to other genres, such as Thriller, Comedy, Sci fi and
more. We researched many sites such as,
http://www.the-numbers.com/market/genres
http://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0410/movie-genres-with-
the-best-roi.aspx
This is also backed up by our secondary research. I asked the question
‘whatgenre do you prefer from these options’. The options provided
match the ones I spokeabout above. From my results we can clearly see
that the ‘Horror Genre’ is most popular. Outof all the 15 people who
answered my questionnaire the horror genrecategory got 66% of the
votes.
https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/DLWMLYC
Me and my group have come up with a horror film, that is in the slasher
genre. The idea is three young teens have decided to go adventuring a
forest, in which they know is haunted. They go to investigate and see
what all the fuss is about. During their investigation they begin to hear

3. unusualun-human like sounds. This begins to scarethem. To add to this
we have come up with the idea of one of their friends (max) goes
missing, leaving the other two boys the decision of escaping or finding
their friend. They take the second option of searching for their friend.
We are looking to end our opening sequence with strangeman
silhouetted, talking to one of the boys via telephone. He will say the
words ‘You don’tknow me, but I know you’. This will leave audience
confused and curious to know why this mysterious antagonistis doing
what he/she is doing.
Location
We have decided to useSulham Woods. Wevisited the woods to asses
whether it will be suitable for our film. We came to a conclusion that it is
perfect for our film. We can usethe natural elements to make our
opening sequence look very real. This will please viewers, as I found out
frommy secondary research (questionnaire). Also thatthe surroundings
is very quiet, meaning that we can film without any public distractions.
Group Roles
Leon – is one the teenager’s boys going campers. (Acting)
Arif – Is Leon’s mate who is also going camping. (Acting) -
Freddie – Filming
• We are all going to participate to the editing.
Characters
Hamza - Very masculine character and is main protagonist. Hamza relies
on him to help him escape the monster.
Pedro – Weak character comparted to Pedro. Very smart.
Max – Dopey character – follows whatwe say.
Costumes/Props
We going to use modern objects and clothing so that viewers will know
what time period the movie is set in. Examples - phones, go-pros,
camera, camping gear ect.

4. Soundtrack
We will useun-copyrighted music in our film. We will get these from
frog, wherethey providesites with a variety of un-copyrighted music.
We will look for music that will build suspenseand tension for the
audience.
Effects
For when the campers are exploring the forestand the camera is filming
them. We are looking into using the spider eye effect. This will be
accompanied with a change in the background colour (red). We are
considering this becauseit will makethe viewers think that the monster
is secretly stalking them increasing the fear for the monster and tension.
3. Cinematography Planning – Arif Uddin
One idea was the silhouetted shot of the antagonisttalking to boys via a
hidden telephone. This may also be accompanied with the antagonist
voice blurred out, to make him/her even scarier. As viewers will have no
indication of who this person is. Almostas if the person has no identity.
This will create fear and will intrigue people to watch more.
We are also going to shootthrough things. Such as when the boys are at school
discussing when they are going to go to the forestto investigate. We will shoot
through the windows, to indicate that the boy has been targeted and are being
stalked by the antagonist.

5. When the camera changes to the one where it look like the boys are being
stalked, we are going to add a reddish shade to the background and the snake
eyes effect. This is show that the stalker/monster is present. This shows the
pov view fromthe antagonist. This will also be mashed with fast tense music to
add fear to the scene.
4. Mise-En-Scene –Arif Uddin
Setting
We are going to shootour film in Sulham Woods. We decided to use this
location as we feel that it already has a spooky element to it, due to the
old nature of the trees. We think that this location is ideal, and exactly
what weneed to shootour opening sequence in.
Costume
We are going to use our own modern day clothes, to clearly show what
time set this film is being set in.
Hair and Make-up
The plan is to usemy sisters to do our make-up and hair on the day of
the shoot.
Lighting
We plan to usea lighting system to shootour film. To give our opening
sequences a more professionalaspect.

6. 5. Editing Planning – Freddie Major
For our editing of the film there will be two types of editing that will
defiantly be used. Oneof these is called parallel editing; this is the
technique of alternating two or more scenes that often happen
simultaneously but in different locations. This helps maintain the
suspensewithin the film. Another type of editing that will defiantly be
used is jump cuts, these are a type of editing transition which helps
create confusion within the audience, this may be used to make the
viewers seem lost and afraid.
6. Sound Planning – Freddie Major
Sound is very important within the horror genre; this is because it can be
widely used to create suspenseand tension. Because of this we have
decided to useclassical music in the film. This is becauseclassical music
can be calm and relax; this will therefor confusethe audience making it
easier to set up for a jump scareor a scene of realisation. Classicalmusic
can also sound very creepy if used in correctcontext which is why we
have decided to use it within our film opening. We will also use child's
music as children's music tends to be happy which would juxta-posethe
nature of our thriller/horror.

(Intrigued)
CLASSMATE
Well from what I’ve heard a group boys went camping down
there, and they witness unusual things.
MAX
What’s that then?
(Curious)
CLASSMATES
I’ve heard paranormal things mate!
HAMZA
Like what ghost, don’t listen to him max, he’s clearly lying
(Looking around, trying to get the others to follow him.)
CLASSMATE
No seriously mate, I believe it. Who would lie about that?
HAMZA
They are clearly looking for attention. There’s no such thing
as ghost mate. Stop your waffling I’M off, PEDRO you coming?
(Annoyed)

I suggest we all go down there this weekend and investigate
ourselves. I bring my camera down, and we could document it
in-case you know we run into anything unusual.
(Interrupts PEDRO)
HAMZA
Alright then, only if we stop talking about it then I’m in.

(Laughing)
(HAMZA looks around laughing to the other boys)

9. PEDRO
To be honest, I’m having second thoughts about this. I done
some research last night and a lot of people are talking
about. I really think this is a bad idea.
(Worried)
Looks worried, this is shown in his actions and speech.
MAX
Shouldn’t be that bad right, it’s only a forest.
What could possible happen?
HAMZA
Oh of course you were going to bottle it, just come nothing is
going to happen trust me.

Sulham Woods.

END OF SCENE
9. LocationRecce – Leon.I
The location of our group's horror/thriller is going to be in the woods
more specifically Sulham woods. I visited the woods on Sunday the 20th
November and I concluded that is it a great place to film or film as it has
a lot of the lighting conditions we desire for example there are a
plethora of openings and clearings in the forestthat allows for us to
express the change of mood through the use of lighting in our opening
sequence, as there are bright to dark tones of lighting tones in the forest
and scenes in our opening sequence, from a happy group of young
teenagers, to a group of teens running for their lives from an unknown
threat. I feel that the location would be perfect for filming in the
daytime in the week as it would be quiet because it’s a wood and as such
is very quiet and not many people go to certain parts of the wood which
are secluded so would make for good shots for our film. Conversely
though when it rains the woods can become very muddy and the terrain
can become sloppy and boggy in places which could make it difficult to
film or keep continuity of shots in the filming process. Butcould also
because injury's to occur if we don’t properly survey theterrain before
filming. So we may also need to keep an eye on the weather as this
could create different atmospheres and shots for us to film for example
if we shooton a foggy day this can create a sombretone, a
mysterious/creepy setting, creating a disturbing atmospherefor the

11. audience. And could useall weather conditions we face as an advantage
allowing us to express different tones and themes in our scenes. Another
advantageis that we could also use the changes of weather to show the
passageof time within our opening sequence. Sulham woods will
definitely be our filming location as it allows us to have a lot of versatility
with the shottypes we can use, whilst also providing us with all of the
previous benefits I described in my prior paragraphs.
LocationReece Notes
Location was fairly quiet with minimal noise from people or the roads. A
lack of people passing by would make it very easy to film without being
disturbed or disturb or agitate any of the surrounding public. Someloud
noises occasionally frombirds singing and justnatural sound of
ambience in a forest. Certain parts of the forestare also dead silent and
quiet at times Forestgets dark quickly though so filming would have to
be done efficiently to ensurethat we make useof the naturalsunlight
when it's available. When it becomes dark it becomes difficult to
navigate the forestso crew needs to be prepared for this if it does
happen. Diegetic noises of the forestcould create a good atmosphereto
contrastagainst.
10. Necessary permission –actors, location – Leon.I
Whatever location you are using, no matter how public it seems, it is
likely you'll need to notify or get permission from somebody. Theimpact
of failing to inform the relevant authorities could possibly resultin
unnecessary policeresources being involved. This can disruptyour
filming and the local community. Our group however does not need
permissions to film as Sulham Woods is a public area so would not
require us to have any permissions as wellas the fact that.. If you are a
small crew — five people or fewer — using a handheld camera and your
filming will not causean obstruction then there is no restriction to
filming. In someboroughs this also extends to small crews with a tripod.
No licence or any formof official permission is required. So this allows
our crew to be able to film all of our shots in Sulham Woods unrestricted
with no licence or filming permits needed.

Daylight
For our opening sequence we need to be shooting in the afternoon. As we
want a time that is close to sun fall. This is because weneed’s scenes in our
film that are in daylight and without daylight. Therefore we feel the afternoon
is the right time to begin our shooting of the film.
Weather
We plan to go on a day wherethere is no scheduled rain, as working in the
woods may be tricky in the rain. The surfacemay become soggy and will not
look good on camera. We wouldn’tbe able to do the shot types that we have
planned, such as climbing the tree for a high angle shot.
Availability of actors/crew
We also make surethat all members of the group are available for the day as
we will plan ahead and cancel plans if they come up.
Availability of equipment
We have decided to usemy cousin’s equipment. I will makesure that this is
available for the day.
Use of locations
- Sulham woods
- Canteen in Theale Green
