Risk Assesment

Health & safety

Legal advice on health and safety issues when filming.
Producers should ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that persons working with and for them are not exposed to risks to their health and safety. An example of what may be considered reasonably practicable would be if location filming was taking place in a warehouse with poor lighting. It would be appropriate to ensure that extra lighting is used and that all sharp or otherwise hazardous equipment is made safe.

You should have at least one experienced member of the crew who is aware of health and safety issues.

Some genres may pose more risks than others i.e. horror or action films or scenes involving animals. The production team should discuss safety issues before filming begins and take steps to avoid or reduce the risks identified.

Target Audience

This is a visual assessment of the target audience that my horror movie will be aimed at, as you can see; the illustration clearly outlines the interest of those who we are targettin out film at.

What 'Horror' Means to My Target Audience

Q1:) When you watch a horror film/trailer, what do want or expect to get from it?

When i watch a horror film or trailer i expect it to be clear what the film is about, but at the same time not giving too much. i also like to see the main protagonists and antagonists in action, so i know what to expect from their characters.

Q2:) How far do film posters motivate you to go and watch a film?

Film posters do not motivate to see a film as much as film trailers do, but a hard hitting or mysterious film poster (especially in the horror genre) will motivate me to go and see the film.

Q4:) Do you read/buy film magazines? If yes why and what attracts you to read/buy it?

The look of the magazine such as the colours, fonts and things and other things like that attract me to a magazine, and most likely the way its formatted, the genre and content.

'What I learnt from this'...

From asking these questions, I have learnt that it is very important that i focus on my trailer because it is a preview of the film and no matter what the poster looks like it is the trailer which will give the consumer the push to go and watch the film or not. I also think horror trailers have to be more worked on then trailers from other genres in order to make them stand out from being just another horror movie.

Synopsis

Blood runner - SYNOPSIS

Everybody loves Dylan. The story is set in the urban inner city area of Islington, North London. Popular college kid Dylan is known for his athleticism but also knows what it feels like to go through hardships (his mother was raped before his eyes when he was twelve); he is looked up to by all his peers and especially liked by the females at his local community `college.

Late one night the keen runner was training with his running partner on a running track for a race he was going to part take in the following week. As his running partner leaves earlier on Dylan is left alone training intensely. In the late hours later he makes his way home passing through the woods. As he makes his way down regents canal, he is faced with an issue that alters his life. He is stunned and caught in the cross fire to which he believes a woman being sexually abused. Being Dylan he rushing and plays hero by attacking this guy but surprisingly does not stop. He ends up brutally killing the rapist as if to make up for his mothers death and attends to the frail victim. They are met with a dilemma what to do with the body. As Dylan realises what he has done they begin to panic but the Becka suggests they get rid of the body as they. Dylan makes an attempt to put the past behind him and falls to his bed, as the sun rises he is met with a random Face book message. It is a badly distorted video of him killing. In his attempt he panics and calls Becka but it goes straight to voicemail, so he pays a visit to her only to find coroners and police at her house, Becka has been murdered.

Faced with the unexpected death he panics and runs home and decides to do run away. But in the middle of his rant his thoughts change and he begins to think of his father and friends, so he goes into his garage to say goodbye to his dad only to find him being held hostage by the same person he called his best friend.

Film titles

Film titles give the audience information about what is going to occur within the movie. With the reference of blood on the image and the mysterious coloured background we can immediately make a reference to a horror, but the main striking fact is that with title and image together you can tell that it makes a reference to vampires. From Dracula movies to the current True blood series we are stilled faced with the passed down made up custom of vampires having to be invited in.

Samson and i almost instantly thought of the name of the trailer. we came up with 'Blood Runner' as the main character is an athlete. 'Blood Runner' fits into horror conventions instantly especially with the word 'Blood' and the word runner is a play on words as the main character (Dylan) is an athlete as well as being on the run from this masked villain.
