Production Meeting

We held our first detailed production meeting today. We discussed some key points in making our production. Here are some things we discussed;

1) Genre
-We discussed the various sub genres of horror such as ghosts, torture, gore, santanism, serial killers and zombies. These sub genres can be seen in contemporary successful horror movies today. For example; Saw contains

the sub genre of gore and torture on the other hand The Last Exorcism deals with satanism and paranormal activity. Our group has made a final decision that we are going to create a trailer within the sub genre of serial killer and satanism.

2) Plot Ideas
- We discussed a range of possible narratives within this sub genre and came to a conclusion after researching and brain storming ideas. Our plot contains an introverted child getting bullied at a high school by "the popular group". As times pass, the child who was once getting bullied see's a darker side to life and believes in satanism of which he is commanded to sin and seek revenge. We think the stereotypical representations will fit naturally within the horror genre containing typical conventions. This is only a microcosm of which would be a 90minute film, therefore we believe it gives us enough material to make a dramatic trailer.

3) Character Ideas
- As with many of the horror films we researched we will be using stereotypical character types. Using Vladimir Propp's character groupings we will create some of the following stock characters: The Villain, The hero and the princess.

The modern stereotypical Hollywood princess is of a white ethnicity, blonde or brunette, late teens, and physically attractive.

The modern stereotpical Hollywood hero is also of a white ethnicity, tall, athletic and strong of a similar age group.

Our villain will be an introvert character, very innocent at a young age. In our production we will challenge the stereotypical conventions of a villain

4) Mise En Scene
- For the Mise En Scene we researched via looking at contemporary trailers of typical conventions and stereotypes. Stereotypes were elicited out of things such as location, gender, characters, props and lighting. Usual props we saw were props that helped the people get into the predicament such as broken mobile phones/cars and we also saw many props in terms of weapons.

We decided to create a short movie of us creating a brainstorm of some things that we may include in our trailer...
