We began the process of planning our foundation production with each member of our class giving a detailed presentation on a potential idea. This presentation examined the narrative structure, casting, locations, props and most importantly the way in which the sequence would generate tension and appear generically authentic. My idea is of a women and child in the child’s bedroom saying goodnight and being watched from outside. The woman then comes downstairs, with a baby listener and starts doing some hovering or watching the TV very loud. The audience sees the wind blowing a curtain and a shadow enter through a window. You see the lights on the baby listener going right up to red, as if there is someone screaming in the room, but mother can’t hear anything due to the hover noise. She starts to watch some TV, audience then sees the shadow of the man coming down the stairs and leaving, he is carrying something. (Privileged audience knowledge). The door bell rings and she goes to the door which is already open. She can hear the sound of something down the path. She goes to see what it is, as she gets closer there is a tape player, playing either a nursery rhyme or a recording of the mum reading the child a story. She then gets to it and finds her child dead. Slow fade as she falls to the ground crying (slow mo).
The key points that will create tension in my idea are, being shown that the house is secluded and no one can help them. Feeling like there is someone watching from outside in shot 1. The audience seeing the man entering when the character doesn’t realize. (privileged audience knowledge). The creepy eerie recording playing on the tape at the end.
Our target audience would vary from the age of 15 upwards as the horror/thriller genre attracts all ages. Although we would focus mainly on the male genre as a typical stereotype is that males prefer action/thriller films. Our target audience is from any social class as it dosent effect our film.
The type of institution that would produce this film would be a major Hollywood production company, big budget and A-list celebreties.
