The Final Ideas for the Film

We have changed the idea of what we want within the 2 minute clip. We wanted to go with a less conventional idea, so we decided to shorten the amount of characters within the clip and not the 5 characters you would have in the film. This is because in the first couple of minutes in a film often you see all the main characters you are going to see for the rest of the movie. Like within Final Destination, the first few minutes you see all the characters, as seen in this video:

Also within the first scenes of a horror film, there can be a death or there can be a scene where they set up for a death later on within the film. After watching scream and the ring, we decided that we preferred the way scream opened their film, as the first scenes of the film, there is two murder’s which sets the feel for the film. Also the Ring had a death within the first scene, it took a little longer to happen but it was relatively early in the film, which we liked and thought was a conventional, which we wanted to incorporate within the film as we needed some conventions in the film.

So our new idea for the film is to have a crowbar in the shot, with dripping blood from the end of it and a hard reaching out to try and grab it. Then a shot of the victim on the floor, giving up, then it goes back to the crowbar and you see it go down a strike the victim. Then the film ends abruptly and that’s the clip over and finished.  This is a brief over view of the film, there is more detail than this, but in a few sentences this is what happens.

We decided to have no dialog in the film and a brief shot of the killer, we wanted to create suspense and mystery, so the audience don’t know what happened and if they saw the clip, they would want to see the rest of the film.

Script

*Teacher raises head and looks onto class ahead of him*

(Camera moves around to next to table of classmates)

Jenifer: Didn’t you used to be friends with that Connor guy?
Danny: Yeah, but that freak is really weird now.
Sarah: You shouldn’t be so tough on him; he’s been through a lot.
Jenifer: He was quite cute; it’s a shame nothing from the waist down works now.

(All laughed, Camera goes to window, camera looks into room from window.)

(Camera returns back into classroom, alongside table so that window can be seen behind them. All hears something and they all look around. Then look towards teacher.)

Teacher: Don’t worry, I’ll go and take a look.

(Teacher leaves, Jenifer stands up.)

Jenifer: I’m not waiting around for that dick head to get back, I’m off.

Howard: Shouldn’t we wait for him to get back?

(Jenifer tuts and walks out of room, she turns the corridors corner to the right and Connor is in front of her)

Jenifer: *Mutters Insult*

(Jenifer walks around him and continues down corridor)

Possible Films Names:

The first two films are our main possible film titles

·         Broken- This is a possible film name as it relates to the killer, as he has broken legs. It shows a clear representation to the film and we can make the link a reference to the title within the film. The title will be used quite cleverly and broken ‘k’ to give it that relevance and cleverness. It give the audience an understanding of the film and it is appealing to the target audience. This name fits with our film in many different ways, which is why it is one of the top two choices out of the film names we have come up with.

·         Cracked – Our other name that we thought was good and is possibly going us to is, cracked’. This is the other one of our top two because it also has relevance to the film, as the killer has broken legs in the film and his weapon to kill is a crowbar. We were going to show an x-ray of a cracked leg and the crack in the shape of a crowbar. This also has relevance to the film and is a good representation of the film. Also its simplicity and bluntness stands out amongst other working movie titles and is a good choice for our film.

Other possible film names:

·         Insanity

·         Revenge

·         Monkey wrench

·         Road kill

·         The bloody trail

·         The broken ones

·         Unfixable

·         Unfinished business
