Setting and Prop
Setting
Setting of our film will be in a house of my team member where we will be filming most of our shots. Also we will be filming outside her house for the outside shots and go to the local park for one shot from out storyboard.
The hall way of the house where the shots of the character arriving from work is taken and also where she hears the loud bang up stairs.
This is where the camera follows the character up the stairs and then takes another view from the from of her as shes going up the stairs.

Prop
We have one main prop in out film which is the mask which will be worn by the dead little girl. The mask is being worn to hide the identity of the girl and also it give's the film a more scary tone to find a person wearing a mask hiding in your wardrobe.
Character Profile
Our main Character
Yinka who is my team member will be playing the main character who is the lady in the opening who is being followed by a ghostly presence and she will also be the little girl in the wardrobe for the time being as we could not find someone to play this part. She will be crouched down on the floor of the wardrobe so that you don't notice that the character is a teenage girl instead of a little girl.
In the opening she will be wearing a suit as she is coming home from work.

Target Audience Profile
Certificate of our film
We have decided to give our film a certificate of 15 as our film is a thriller horror film which has a few gory bit in but not too much that it will scare our target audience. our film will contain small amount of strong language which is suitable for teens. We decided to make it a 15 film and not a 12 as it wouldn't be much appropriate for minors because of the swearing and the minor violent which may be still too much for 12 year old and younger.
Who will it appeal to?
Our film is a thriller horror film so it will appeal to both genre groups which is a good thing as it will attract more views. A lot of teens will be seeing the film as from my research i found out that teenagers and young adults are the most views of these genres as they like the gore and suspension. This is also because they like the fear when they watch these types of film.
Gender
We feel that our film might appeal to the female audience because our main character is a woman and this will in a way relate to them seeing as they are the same sex. Male audience will too watch the film as is contains gory scenes and other conventions in a horror film.
Age
Our main target audience is aged ranged from 15 to 25 year old as the certificate is 15. However we think that more older age groups will also watch our film because it may appeal to them. The film does not necessarily just be for 15 - 25 year old but also the older ages too.
Race
The film will mainly be aimed to the English and the western culture because it will have qualities of a British horror film but we will try to get our film shown also in America to get the rating more high. Some films which our film will relate to will be "The Ring", "The Orphanage" and "The sixth sense" as they feature mainly children as a victim or the murderers. We have made sure that our film doesn't offend any races so we have featured a few races in our film such as Black, Asian and White characters.
Class and interests
We think that the class range would be from low to high class as it doesn't really point to any class. We want all class's to watch our film as it's open to any one. Some audience may have similar interests due to the liking of similar films.

Types of Sound
- Ambient sound
- Non diegetic sound
- Diegetic sound
Horror and thriller films use all three sounds to create a sense of suspense and build tension so that views are grabbed in. They use ambient sound and enhance it more so that the surrounding sounds of the environment becomes more powerful which makes a creepy tone to the film. This is also done with diegetic sounds.
Non diegetic sound is used to build tension of whats happening such as loud string music for when some thing has happened or a mix of scary tone music for when someone is getting closer to something and they are given a shock.

Thriller Conventions
Thriller films should build suspense and tension towards the audience to get them gripped in to the plot of it. Conventions which should be used in thriller films are the themes of crime, murder, mystery and violence.
Quick cuts to create excitement among the audience, keep them fixed to their seats. they are used to create a sense of fear and panic between the characters in the film towards whats happening.
Camera movements help to create an image of a person or part of the film. High angle shots of the civilians show weakness and lack of power whereas low angle shots show more power to the person.
Mise en scene of what objects and background scenery can be seen gives a purpose to most parts of the film.

Inspiration
Few movie trailers which have inspired us to come up with our own film. We have chosen these two trailers because the music used creates suspense and gives the trailer a creepy mood and also the story lines are similar to our film opening as they include paranormal activity and have a mystery in. Also they include children as a main part in the films which is something our film does as well.
The Ring and The Orphanage are a very good example to feature children and make it also scary at the same time.

Possible Music
One of our main music we will have is the nursery rhyme at the beginning of our opening during the credits.
We will also have a few piano type music in the style of horror during some scenes and a more scary type music during the suspense in the film and the murder parts.
