Target audience 
Our film certificate is a 15 this allows us to reach a wider range of teenagers instead of strictly Adults there may be occasional swearing and moderate sexual references. Our target Audience is Tanagers and young Adults who enjoy the Adrenalin rush they get from Horror films. 
Readers profile:

 A teenage boy 16 years of age, who enjoys going to the cinema with his group of friends especially to watch Horror movies which is his favourite genre. He enjoys the adrenalin and expects to feel scared when watching a certificate 15 Horror movie. He has a part time job and can afford going to The cinema to watch new releases and because of his age he is costumed to hearing or using bad language.

Equipment Prep for Opening 2 Minutes

Equipment List:

In order to capture the best shots we can, we will be using two cameras.
This will be easier for us to enable the shot-reverse-shot look.

There will be only two of us participating in this project, therefore
we will be in charge of a camera each.

We do not own any lighting equipment,
so  will try and make use of any natural lighting possible, or even lamps and    fluorescent bulbs if shooting indoors.

We will be using a tripod to shoot long stills, or establishing shots
for better stability. Tripod's are handing for all purposes, whether it be for close-ups or long shots, we are aiming for the best movie quality we can, so little shakiness, unless we are going for that sinister feel...

Easy & Scary DIY Halloween Costumes!

 In this video the girl gives usher ideas on how to create easy scary costumes that can be done at home. This is very useful for me and Eleanor as it gives us some ideas of what costume we could make for our abnormal Antagonist in our Film. We wanted to pursue a costume similar to the Girl in the Ring. she Is a young girl who was thrown in a Well and rotted away in The well she has out grown black hair that covers her face and she wears long white dress and her skin is made to look very pale and dirty because she never saw sunlight and starved in the well. This look is also quite easy to achieve, Since I am the one being the Antagonist in our Film I have long dark hair which I can brush over my face and i can tease it to make it look untidy and tangled to get a badly groomed look. I  can also make use of white eye shadow and white baby powder to cover my face in to make my skin seem pale making me look dead and Ghost like. also we intend on using a Night dress which is long and white to recreate a dress similar to The ring.
