Final Possibilities for Production Names
Within our group, we brainstormed a variety of production company names. We aimed to think of something that was original whilst holding a horror tone. By looking at other horror movie production company names such as Saw’s “Evolution Entertainment” it made us realise that we wanted a name that isn’t cliché, however still undertaking that professional feel which the audience is able to relate to. We narrowed it down to those which we felt were most compatible with a teaser trailer idea:
-Dark Child Productions
-Bloody Productions
-Necropsy Productions
-Omen Productions
-Triple6 Productions
-666 Productions
-Dark Child Productions
-Bloody Productions
-Necropsy Productions

The Synopsis
After much deliberation my production company and I created a story line:
A reserved, quiet and religious young girl named Elizabeth is traumatised by her family life. Elizabeth’s mother had past away, leaving her with her invalid father. She has never had friends and tends to spend a large amount of time praying in front of her late mother’s photograph. One night she receives a mysterious phone call. Evil, destruction, murder and rage falls upon Elizabeth’s life as a turn of events causes the biggest tragedy of the century.

What is Horror
The main objective of a horror film is to scare and terrify its viewer. In able to achieve this objective a film must use conventions from the horror genre. Without these conventions, a horror film would not be horror.
conventions:
Mis-en-scene-iscolates settings, dark atmosphere, shodowy lighting.
Camerawork and editing- fast cutting for violent action, point of view shot to make the viewer see what the killer sees, hand held shots.
Music and Sound- heartbeat, heavy breathing, screams, echoes.
Icons- blood, shadows, masks, ghosts, knives.
Narrative Structure- Todorov's narrative theroy- equilibrium, distruction, restoration of equilibrium, Propps character theory, binary oppositions between good and evil, final girl theory- victim ( strong smart character) survives/ overthrows the murderer.
