Question 1:
Embedded below is the answer to question 1, answered by Myself using prezi.


Question 2:
Embedded below is the answer to question 2, answered by Myself.

The social group that is mainly focused upon in our horror movie opening is adolescent girls. 
We have followed a very stereotypical route when we have presented them in our film. The idea of a damsel in distress have been played upon the most. We have a teen girl who is in a desolate forest on her own and appears to be on edge. She is constantly turning and checking to see if someone is following her. The reason we used this was to keep our horror movie conventional. She is portrayed to be helpless and vulnerable. Additionally we were also representing the youth as unwise , while watching the film the audience would be questioning the characters motives as why would a wise individual enter a forest alone? This builds on a popular idea that adolescents are quite irresponsible.

Then embedded below, I have taken screen shots of how The film 'The Ring' has influenced our choices when creating our music video. From these screen shots we have taken tips on editing , the location used and the actors in our movie. The first pictures shows how Dreamworks used editing to achieve the horror genre. They applied effect of a fuzzy TV to their ident and we decided to use this in our horror movie. In the second picture it shows the use of the Fuzzy Tv effect on Final cut pro whenever the Ghost of Kayleigh's past appears on the screen. Secondly our location was influenced by the ring as it starts in a desolate house in the woods. Within our horror movie , our main actress is drawn towards an empty building in the woods. This location is very convention within the horror movie genre. Lastly within 'The Ring" two adolescent girls are shown at the start and our horror movie is based around two teenage girls. From this we have decided to stick with the convention of having a typical damsel in distress.

‘The Haunting’ 

Script:

Written below is the script that our two actors are going to be using throughout the sequence. It is important to have this tool to make sure all footage is consistent when we film it multiple times. Additionally the detail about the location and scene enable to the actors to understand when their lines will come in so there wouldn't be any confusion.

We created this health and safety form to make sure as a group we were aware of the dangers that we may encounter while filming. 

By doing this , this enables us to be prepared for any accidents that may arise and deal with the accordingly. This health and safety form
was written by my team member Kala Hill.

Costume

Costume

Embedded above is the costumes we used in our horror sequence. Starting with Kayleigh (on the left) we chose for her to have typical everyday clothing on and keep them quite light. These colours connote innocence and just an everyday , typical teen age girl. However we felt to contrast this with the black coat , this has an effect of a shadow which follows Kayleigh around , it shows she has a darker past than first thought. Then with Clara (on the right) we decided to keep with the theme of 'their darker past' , this is what follows Kayleigh around on a daily basis and makes it apparent that Clara is the secret Kayleigh is trying to keep. Therefore Clara is in all black as she is the 'shadow' Kayleighs darker past.

Location shots

Location shots

While out for filming we took pictures of the location we used. Embedded below are pictures from Bentley priory in a slideshow which I made using Animoto , which is one of two locations we used for our horror movie opening sequence. We felt this was a good location to use for our horror movie as it  follows may typical conventions found within horror movies.

 
Horror movie location shots

One of the first images show that Bentley priory is typical forest , this is a convention found in horror movies as the location denotes isolation and vulnerability. The character is normally shown running from the antagonist through the woods and often gets trapped. We slightly followed this as Kayleigh our main character is being followed by her past through the woods. Additionally we thought the use of the brick hut was very affective , as it was abandoned and ruined. We felt this helped with the idea that some sort of history is hidden within this place.
