Final Update

Before handing in our coursework our group decided to remove the original opening 
sequence to our horror movie opening. This was the slo motion build up 
to the delivery room sign. we felt that even with editing it still wasn't 
up to our standard of the film and we not satisfied. 

The tint of the film did not seem to contrast with the rest of the sequence, this scene was a dark tint of green however the rest was a bright white colour with a higher depth of field. 

The media technician Katie came up with an alternative idea of having just a recorded sound instead of having any image. 

We then recorded the sound of me giving birth to a child
 with words of encouragement.  

The group had agreed that this was an improved idea and contrasted well with the rest of the film.

Feedback for Final Improvements


We asked a few people of our target audience to review how are title sequence looks now. There are still improvements that are yet to be made but this feedback will help us to know if our audience is interested/understands our film.

Name: Molly
Age: 16
Favourite film: Donnie Darko


Would you be interested in watching this film?
"Definitely. It looks like psychological gore, really messed up, which interests me because it seems more controversial and moves away from the stereotypical 'ghost story' narrative."

What age do you think this film would be rated? Do you think our target audience matches the film?
"It wouldn't be lower than a 15, it would be an 18 if it had more gore. The target audience is highly appropriate, I can tell it is aimed at a more 'niche' audience"

Are there any improvements you would suggest?
"Possibly make the story more clear by adding speech"



Age: 16
Favourite Film: Submarine
Would you be interested in watching this film?


 "Yes! I feel like I could really relate to the girl in it because she is a similar age to me. I also like horror films and ones that stray away from conventional jump scares, it's something different which I like."

What age do you think this film would be rated? Do you think our target audience matches the film?
"I think it would be a 15 maybe the full film would be an 18 depending on how much blood and distress of the girl, I think that's quite disturbing. It's also a touchy subject which could give it an 18 certificate."

Are there any improvements you would suggest?

"Re-ilm the start I think it looks a bit rushed and try neatening the colouring to make it look less edited and more natural."

Filming Issues

Today we encountered issues with filming our door scene. First of all, it was raining which made it difficult to carry the equipment safely. Also, there were no plugs for the lights and the memory card was missing from the camera. As its midday, there were students and walking in and out. We have rescheduled filming to Monday.
