12E9 1962 Zainab Jess Neeraiya Bariya final My opening Sequence

Planning Sequence

The Action: we decided that there will be a running sequence in the woods. We also came up with a story line of a woman who has died 50 years ago, we then decided how the girl meets the woman- hurts foot, meet in the woods-but this we felt would make the sequence over two minutes. We first decided to include a shot of a house, which we had a found an ideal location it looks old, however this wasn't an essential shot. We then discussed possible ways of Neeri (character running) finds Zainab dead- her running away to a house after friend is dead and somebody from a house nearby or police telling her. But we decided on a newspaper found in the house, before the girl dies so that the sequence can end on Beatrice Smith.

The theme: our aim is to create suspense, tension and fear. Its a horror/supernatural thriller.

The Narrative: use of heart beats at running sequence to create a different effect. We found out that running through woods scenes were common so we decided to change ours. We also wanted Beatrice Smith to pop up at the end like in Children Of Men hence decided to use a flashback- this also helped to compress time.

The Characters: the two girls were meant to be normal teenage girls one really talkative and naive and trusts Beatrice. The other, the smart one who is not happy to come to a strangers house and is nosy. Beatrice Smith we wanted a cold expressionless look, and plain clothes.

The Setting: old looking house, dark, big scary woods. Mise-en-scene we it to be dark because its night

Planning

This is  the newspaper Neeri made for the sequence, which tells the audience that Beatrice Smith is dead 

Final Movie

We are really happy with our efforts to put this opening together, we all worked well together and made a great team. We are especially happy with the effects created by the sound, and the heart beats. There were parts that created difficulty for example lighting, and finding the perfect music however we found music that worked really well together

script

companies who might distribute our film

monogram pictures corporation is a company, many people may not know this company, but its a Hollywood studio who make and distribute films. they do have low budget so I'm not sure whether they would consider in producing the film. by researching the company, it seems like they don't have any horror films.
but, i'm not really confident in this one so please give more suggestions !
