Props used - R.S

Memorial token for the departed Mia

We have used different props within out production that we feel, will help add and element of realism to the film. As the narrative starts off as a friend (me) mourning over a loss of her beloved best friend who died for unknown circumstances in the park. The image above and to your right shows the small token of memorial that is left in her remembrance. The flowers signify the obvious and obligatory respect shown when someone has died, we have done this to show the audience that someone has died, and it is recognized by the community as people have left tokens of respect for her. The teddy bear is also another element used we think makes the production look more realistic, the teddy bear can convey the youth and innocence of the life lost indicating how the person who has died was too young. This can link to our theme of horror as it can suggest that the deaths of the victims of the murderer may be young people who are completely innocent and have not lived life to its full.

Messages from loved ones

 Surrounding the flowers and teddy bears are small memos of remembrance. Certain messages on the memos can suggest how the victim was young, "too young" "too beautiful" can suggest how the victim was a young woman. Some tags also suggest how the victim was well known and of good character, respected and loved by friends, family and teachers. it again reinforces how the supposed " Killer" is completely ruthless in choosing his victims, he does not care of youth or beauty of who he devilishly kills.

Masks used  , rope , fake blood.

Another prop used is the white masks. The masks have no expression on them and are simply white with small holes cut out for eyes. We have chosen these masks as they are mysteriously blank and slightly creepy looking. The lack of any human features, alienates the masks from any normal person.

We have looked at other famous horror films for inspiration when generating our ideas of using masks , a key influence was Friday the 13th where the masked killer ( Jason) wore a hockey mask as a disguise whilst savagely killing young attractive teenagers.

Jason from Friday the 13th

The element of a "masked killer" is something that we think is an superb element to bring into our horror film. The masked killer always brings out another element out into film, which compliments horror very well which is mystery. We want the audience to terrified of course! however we also want them to question who is behind the mask? is it someone they already know from the narrative? this allows the audience to look into the plot more and be able, to solve the mystery for themselves.

Here's the team! TRPS! R.S

Preet Mathuru - did not take part in any of the process




During this meeting we researched what type of horror we would like to go for and what film we  wanted to use as inspiration. This really helped us to get started with the story board as we as the filming as we had a rough idea on what we wanted to include in the production. We also used this meeting to find out what type of horror the cast and crew enjoyed watching to help us make the production its best. During this meeting we also decided that we would do a questionnaire to see what sort of horror movie the target audience would prefer to watch to make sure the production appealed to the target audience.

Unmasked the plot - R.S

Unmasked- The narrative begins with a grieving girl, as he friend who has passed away found dead in the park for some unknown circumstances. We learn from her sad, mournful soliloquy that her friend was alone when the murder occurred and that maybe if she ( the friend) was there the even might of not occurred. Friends appear playing some kind of practical joke on her trying to lighten her sprits. She is unamused and still continues to mourn and asks her friends to go, and that she will catch up with them later. Another similar masked figure appears, but is this another practical joke? or something much more deadly...
