For this, we had to create a powerpoint looking into the different aspects of horror. For this I created slides; 6, 7, 8, 9 and 15 which was; technical codes, analysing the use of techical codes, Mise-En-Scene and example of Mise-En-Scene and also a film brief of "The Omen".

Target Audience Profile.
For this task, we had to research into the types of audience who will watch horrors and who we will aim ours at. For this I looked into film classifications to see where our film would fit in.
As part of our film and planning we need to decide what age rating we will put our horror film. We decided to look at the BBFC website at the different age ratings and which we could relate to our film to help us decide. As most horror films are a 15 rating this is where we are focusing, but as our film doesn't involve much gore we are looking from 12 upwards.
Below are the definations of the age ratings from the BBFC website, from age rating 12 to 18. I looked at the subjects that may be involved in our horror films, such as the horror, violence, language and the theme. Subjects such as nudity and sex will not be involved in our film.
12:
- Horror; "Moderate physical and psychological threat may be
permitted, provided disturbing sequences are not frequent or sustained."
- Violence; "Moderate violence is allowed but should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood, but occasional gory moments may be permitted if justified by the context. Sexual violence may only be implied or briefly and discreetly indicated, and must have a strong contextual justification."
- Language; "Moderate language is allowed. The use of strong language (for example, ‘f**k’) must be infrequent."
- Theme; "Mature themes are acceptable, but their treatment must be suitable for young teenagers."
15;
- Horror; "Strong threat and menace are permitted unless sadistic or sexualised."
- Violence; "Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic or sexualised violence is also unlikely to be acceptable. There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence but any portrayal of sexual violence must be discreet and have a strong contextual justification."
- Language; "There may be frequent use of strong language (for example,‘f**k’). The strongest terms (for example, ‘c**t’) may be acceptable if justified by the context. Aggressive or repeated use of the strongest language is unlikely to be acceptable."
- Theme; "No theme is prohibited, provided the treatment is appropriate for 15 year olds."
18;
- "In line with the consistent findings of the BBFC’s public consultations and The Human Rights Act 1998, at ‘18’ the BBFC’s guideline concerns will not normally override the principle that adults should be free to choose their own entertainment."

Storyboard
For this, we equally contributed with ideas but I put together pages 1, 2 and half of 3. I also took photographs to be used.
To see this go to our group blog. Click here to see the storyboards.
We also made an animatic storyboard to help explain the storyboard which me and Hazel completed but which I spoke for half of.
