Lesson 2 on our Horror Movie Openings - 29th December

In the second lesson of discussion we continued to develop the plot of our film, adding extra details that may have been ignored last lesson.

We also looked more closely at our two leading characters and created them both a character profile, focussing on their names, appearance, personality trates, age, occupation, motive etc.
Here are our initial fact files:-
Name: Mark Johnson
Age: 23
Occupation: Accountant
Physical Appearance: Black suit and red tie
Personality: Confident on the outside, but paranoid on the inside
Relationship Status: Single

Name: Rosemary
Age: 27
Occupation: Accountant (Mark's Boss)
Physical Appearance: Smart office clothes (black skirt, red shirt, black heels, red lipstick)Personality: Mentally unstable/constantly on edgeRelationship Status: Single

We also looked closely at the job roles that each memberof the group would have to fullfil and allicated each member particular roles which match their own personal skills so our project would fully benefit from this and reachits full potential

As a group, we then started brainstorming possible titles for our movie. There were reasons behind our choice of titles, i.e. words like 'Tortured' or 'The Figure'were relevant to our story. We have not chosen one yet but we all feel as our ideas and plot evolves and grows, we will be able to pick the most suitable name.

Next lesson we plan to create a more detailed timeline and storyboard making sure we include suitable camera shots and to make sure we stick to the codes and conventions of the horror genre.
