the plot of our film 'Witheld'...

These are the timelines we made for the opening sequence of our film.

genre mood board

This is mine and Lela's genre mood board which shows what people are scared off. We cut the images out of newspapers and magazines and stuck them onto the mood board which then created poster.

This is my target audience poster for girls and boys ages 16-24 year olds and what they might like doing, what their hobbies are, where they may like eating in order to find the audience of our film.

horror codes and conventions

All of these codes and conventions are found within all horror films because they are what people expect to see.

scream opening sequence

Our film has elements of scream in as the man on the end of the phone is unknown and so is it killer in our film. From the results in our questionnaire, the unknown is one of the scariest conventions in horror.
