Asset List   Shot Log Call Sheet Camera Setup Codes and Conventions A horror-genre convention is the use of dress codes to instil discomfort about the villain, often by using dark colours to signify threat and obscuring their facial features, creating an enigma code about their identity. I plan to use this convention by selecting dark clothes for my villain's costume, and with a mask. I will use a conventional horror-genre visual code of using a low hue and uncomfortable colours through editing codes; I will do this by colour correcting the light and colour in the film to seem blue and cold. Another horror-genre convention is loud, sharp sounds by using audio codes and editing codes. I will create a loud, "scream" in an audio editing software that I will add into the film during the jump scares as non-diegetic sound. Another visual convention, I have observed in horror films, is a change in colour palette on the screen - I will use editing and visual codes to increase the...

Shooting Location Tech Scouting Checklist: These legal documents required me to fill out a questionnaire on multiple topics like Story, Sight, Sound etc. There are different legal issues with this like different hazards such as cars and other people. I have ensured that there will be no hazards or issues with the creation of the film by only filming and having the cast out when it is safe. I will also brief the cast to make sure they know which potential hazards could arise. Copyright could potentially be an issue if a car drives past playing copyright music, I will then have to restart that scene most likely which is my solution. Film Risk Assessment Form: In this document I have discussed potential risks during the production and pre-production. However, I have come up with solutions to all of these hazards like medical conditions, weather exposure and the risk factor of them happening is now low. The solutions will protect the cast, including myself, as ...

Content:   50 year old Richard has had young-onset dementia for 5 years. Not being allowed out the house by his family; he plans to sneak out, although he can't remember thinking about it.One night on the other hand, he plans and leaves his house. Knowing nothing about his whereabouts, he follows a figure in close proximity. Turns the same corner as the figure and it's gone; no where to be seen, he turns around to be surprised with the horrendous face of the figure. My target audience are 15+ year olds. My short story appeals to this age range as it is unique, it can educate younger people whilst still scaring them; however, it also appeals to an older audience who have to experience someone in their life with dementia - this still applies to younger people but an older audience will more likely have dealt with it.  Distribution: I would like to initially distribute my film into cinemas as audiences generally prefer to see a film for the first time in cinem...

  Storyboard : ( Extra idea - when Richard goes to open door he starts to walk upstairs, either blinks or raise his head and he's outside then when walking up the street, looks down then up and he's even further; looks left and then when he looks right he is in a new location where he finally follows the figure and the story goes back to normal) Script: Opening - INT. RICHARD'S LIVING ROOM - DAY Richard's sat on his old living room chair gazing out of the window INT. RICHARD'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT His carer comes in to give him a meal as he still stares out the window regardless of the fact he can't see anything due to it being night time INT. HALL OF HOUSE - NIGHT All in one take. Richard walks out of the dark living room into the hall with the stairs and front door.  He gradually gets to the door, looking over his shoulder watching the doorknob closely. As he comes back to reality, he starts to walk upstairs INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT Richard makes his way into ...

Film Title:  He Never Forgot Log Line:  Man with dementia, Richard, finally leaves the house after not being allowed; remembers the one thing he would wish to forget. Synopsis for Act 1 (feature film): Richard, 58, suffers from young-onset dementia that developed slightly earlier in his life. He lives in his family home by himself but his carer looks after him by cooking food and making sure everything is clean. He likes to keep a diary, however, he can't remember each entry so he keeps writing each time he makes an entry, getting rid of the previous one.  Synopsis for Act 2 (feature film):  The first incident occurs when Richard walks out of the front door - there is tense ambient sound building up as he stares at the door handle until he opens and leaves. The tension releases once he sees nothing around him yet.     He forgot where he is due to dementia and not realising he is outside his house; he starts to walk in silence and he sees a figure in th...
