Production Meeting. (2)

Production Meeting

Last meeting we all decided on a basic storyline that will create an film opening. We all choose to assign us different tasks that can be completed but also tasks that they we will do together to complete on a fair opinion. This production meeting will be about the conventions that is needed in our film opening but also the classifications and why these are needed. 

Classification:

The film opening:

The chosen classification is 15. The reason for this is that it contains violence, strong language to an extent and blood to a certain extent. The reason we are not choosing an 18 is because the violence and language in not frequent and there is no sexual/ nudity revealed in this clip. 

Trailer:

The chosen classification is 15. The reason for this is that the same rules which we have kept through the film opening will also be used in the trailer as the scenes will show this sort of content throughout the film that is sensible for a 15 and older viewer or audience. 

Conventions:

• Location - We will use a field with an empty park at about dusk when it starts to become dark. This field and park contains bushes as well which can also be used. The filming will take place obviously at dark, but also when it is quite and not populated with other people.
• Blood - We will have a pool of blood next to the male victim's body when he is found by his female girlfriend/ friend. The knife will also contain this. The blood will be placed upon watered down fake blood.
• Death. - The male victim dies in this film opening
• Scary music. - This will be edited through the clip, once the film has been filmed
• Scary costume. - The clowns mask will be wore by the killer
• Abnormal behaviour. - Kidnapping and the murderer the killer does. 
• Dark lighting. - We will be filming at dusk which makes the film opening dark throughout but has enough lighting for the audience to be able to see what is happening
• Weapons. - The killer will be shown with a blood covered knife which would be used and resemble violence. 

We have had a bit of discussion and have come to the conclusion over our opening in which we have created an alternative idea. We have decided that instead of the 'Killer' murdering the boy and then the girl going to go find the boy, we have changed it too that the Killer can walk up  behind them before stabbing the man, after the stabbing from behind he will place the knife in the male victims hand to make it look like a suicide. Before the girl can run away after trying to protect the male victim, the killer then lifts her up and walks away with her. The filming of this will all be handheld camera actions as the actors will 'pretend' too film their selves in the park about eachother. At the beginning the killer will be seen in the background of the camera, later when the man is killed, the camera will drop and fall to the side while filming the action of the kidnapping.
