Storyline

A couple living together who are in their late 20s and have just had a baby girl but, the father already has a 12 year old daughter. After the child birth the mother gets post natal depression. As the baby keeps crying the mother gets stressed and kills the baby. After killing the baby the mother becomes a psychopath and the father thinks the death of the baby is down to a cot death.

Unknowingly the mother acts strangely and does scary things around the house that she is not aware of she is a psychopath, this convinces the daughter and father that there is a ghost in the house. The daughter sees the mother doing something strange in the kitchen through the key hole. In the shot the mother stares back at the girl. Many different scenes can be shown to show that there is something wrong with the mother/house.

At the end the mother tires to attack the daughter however the father comes and tries to stop her, as she pushes him out the way he finds it hard to stop her so he hits her on the head and she does (this was not deliberate). The father and daughter move house and live together.

Magazine Research 2

The genre of this magazine is again horror, the certificate for the film Scream is 15. This matches our project as we are aiming ours at the same age range as well 15 and over. researching this will help us so much as this way we can relate our magazine to this, so we know what will attract 15 and older people. The image on the front cover is of the mask which is the main prop which is the mask to cover up the murderers face. It makes the magazine looks like it’s full of mystery as the mask is making eye contact to the readers of the magazine. The title is over the mask and over the mouth which is looking like the masking is screaming hence the title 'Scream'. The magazine tells the readers that it is a sequel as the A in scream was replaced with the number 4.

The conventions on the front cover of the magazine include a masthead, pug, strap lines and also include a kicker. The style of masthead has been done to attract the audience as it is brighter than the background and it is bold. The title of the magazine is bigger than the title of the featured movie scream, as it is the full width of the magazine at the top. Doing this makes it more eye catching.

The strap lines are in so many different types of fonts, this makes the magazine seem more interesting, like for example 'splash hits' as the look of the fact that it has been written in blood this has a nice effect as it looks like the blood is running in so many different directions this makes the magazine front cover look like a magazine with the genre of horror suggesting death. Doing this will hook the targeted audience as they would want to find out what the film is actually about.

The kicker goes across at the top of the magazine front cover it says ‘131 Reviews! UK's Biggest Film and TV Guide'. This is advertises the magazine itself because this way it can easily gain a load of viewers to watch the film. The bit saying '131 Reviews' is yellow also is on a red background which makes it bold towards the targeted audience. It shows us that this is important because of the fact that this magazine has 131 reviews inside. The bit which says UK’s biggest film and TV guide', is white also on a red background. This also shows how important this fact is to attract the viewer’s attention and it emphasises the popularity of the magazine.

The colours which are used on the magazine front cover is black, white, red and yellow. Colours red and yellow are the brightest of all the colours, whereas the black and white which are duller and not bright at all. The colour red indicates danger and blood, which tells the targeted audience that the film will be full of blood guts and glory. The colour black has a nasty mood feel to it as it is a dark colour which tells us that bad things are going to occur, also when its dark no-one knows what’s going to happen next. White can have many meanings but, when it is associated with horror the colour white can suggest no emotions because Scream 4 is so scary after watching it the targeted audience would be speechless.



Magazine Research 1

The genre of this magazine is again horror. The colours used on this front cover are red, white, black and blue.  The masthead 'Gorezone' is in a normal, straight yet simple font, this attracts readers as it is bold. Also this style font is different to other fonts on the front cover. Having that slight shadow effect on the title shows us that the main writing is the masthead as  it is being emphasised the most out of everything else.

The main image matches the genre really well as it is horror, and the image is of a girl who looks shcoked yet lost with blood splatted all over her. Using this as part of our research is good as it matches to th estoryline or our project. Which is that there is a mother whom is a psychopath, she became this as she lost her daughter when she was young. The state of her with blood all over her and her clothes are all dirty implies to us that there is something out there to get her, or she is the one whom is out to get everyone. Also the image has direct eye contact to the readers this is telling us that, if you take your eye of the film you will miss out on alot.

In the straplines on the front cover includes the name of the actors whom are in the movie. The names are in a bold bright red. Whereas the name Natasha Lyonne is way bigger than all the other starplines, yet not as big as the masthead. This shows that this specific has more power and more of a role in the movie. And the bits that are in a light blue colour tells us what the movie includes, using the light blue is good against all the other colours as it is bright, so it can hook the readers eyes to read them, this way they will find out more and make them want to watch it even more.

Poster Reserach 2

The genre of this is againg horror, as this relates to our project. On this poster there is hardly any information about the movie 'Insidious'. This is a good way to attract the audience as there is not alot to read, instead of boring them. As this poster says alot just by the image of the house and the little boy. The only things what are on the poster is a image of the main charachter, title and who direcrted and made it. Also the release date of when it is going to show in all theaters.

The main image on this poster, is in fact a image of the main charachter of the whole film. The image of the little boy is taking up the whole of of the poster, as he is the main focus. The boys eyes is the most that stands out of the whole boy, as one eye is normal and the other looks sort of possessed. Doing this will attrcat the audience as it might give ideas in the audiences mind about what 'Insidious' is about. There is writing in the boys eyes which say 'Insidiou', this clearly tells us that there is something inside of the boy like a demon of some sort. The outfit which the boy is wearing are pajamas, him wearing this makes him look like a innocent little boy, whom can't do no harm.

The main iamge of the boy, has a background of a house. With the house as a background it makes it look more mysterious, as there might be something in the house. The house could be a nice home for a family, but teh dull lighting on it makes it look  as it is full of bad things. Also the sky is full of dark looking rain filled clouds representing that bad things are going to happen like a sudden thunder storm.

In this poster you can see the directors and makers of other scary films, immplying that if you have seen them other films, that makes you think taht this movie will be scaryt aswell as the others. Such as Paranormal Activity, Saw and many more. The two films which were mentioned is a good thing to atract the audience as  they were big hits, and had many viewers and good reviews. So by watching them you woudl expect this movie to match the scariness.

There is a quote on the poster saying 'Its not the house that is haunted', this is telling us that one of teh main images whcih is the house is not carrying teh demon, but the otehr image of the boy is carrying thsi nasty demon thiong inside of him.The coulour of this font is red, red in many words means bad is comming like danger.

Poster Research 1

The genre of this movie poster 'Scream 4' is horror. We done this as research as it relates to our genre which is horror/thriller. This poster was a good one for our research as it it simple and not too busy, this way you don't loose focus on what the main thing is in the poster. It gives the audience and idea of what the film 'scream 4' as it has images of the characters and the bottom and their names at the top.The background to this poster is pure pitch black which creates a mysterious effect.The colour scheme is red,white and black. To me this shows is that the black represents dark night and dull, whereas the red represents blood. And the alignment of the title is slap bang in the middle seeing as this is the first thing the audience.

The black background makes you emphasise on the image even more, as the mask creates tension also itself as the bottom of the mask turns into a knife. Doing this will atract the target audience, the little glow effect on the bottom of the mask where it is a knife emplies that it is sharp. As this is the weapong being used through out the who film. As the knife and the mask has such a glowing spooky effect, this is saying that this is the main prop in the whol movie and that just thsi one thing can do so much damage.

A part of the poster, is the charachters which are shown at the bottom of the poster. All images of the characters are shown in a close up shot, thsi way you can see the expressions of their faces. You can see that the main image is of the woman in the front and that her face expressiona are like she is scared, yet two giurls at the back look all 'smug' and they have something to hide as they are the only oone that are not looking staright ahead. Tha fact that it is in a V shape, it shows us whom has the most power going from weakest to the strongest person.

The title 'SCRE4M' has been placed right in the middle, and also it is in line with the mouth on the mask which shows us that there will be a lot of screaming throught out the movie as the mask looks likes it is screaming aswell. And the number '4' in the title is white whereas all the other words are white, this way it empahsises on the fact that it is the 4th one. Above the title it says 'A flim by Wes Craven'. This can get more viewers as people may like this guys movie, as tehy proablly watches his movies before and will think that his others was good, so this one might be good.

From this poster you can cleary see that this is part of a sequial as the A in SCRE4M as been replaced with a 4 showing that this is the 4th one out all the sequials. This will attracat more people as they might have watched scream 1-3. This can immply that all scream movies will get scarier and scarier.

At the top of the posters there are names of the main characters that have been in a movie, and also in other movies before this. As you can cleary see the first name is small and font colour is white, whereas the last name is bigger and in red. This shows us that if you recognise the name then it will hook you to watch the movie as you have seen then before.

Finally at the bottom of the poster there is a quote saying 'New Rules. New Decade.’  The New Rules bit is in red and the New Decade bit is in white. When it says new rules this can imply that there is going be many new ways on how the killer, is going to murder people. Yet New Decade can mean that something different is going to happen, compared to scream 1-3.

Research into target audience

Target audience- Certificate 15

Certificate 15 and over is a good age range to do as at that age they are teenagers and they like to socialise so if they see a new movie being shown as a trailer on the TV then they would watch it as they are always into new things. Teenagers more today like to go out with their friends, have a nice time and have time away just to do something fun instead of doing the work all the time. Again another  reason of this range of age was because the fact that our group can relate to it and know what teenagers like as it is in our age range.

The target audience are at a age which do not need to pay for bills yet so this way they can use the money which they have to pay for tickets to see the movie. Also they don't have reponsibility as much as parents as they will not have to look after children, so they don't need to use their money on other people and just on their selves.

The movie is really good entertainment for our range of age, as for young people they wont be able to watch it as otherwise the movie would have to be PG and that would be no good as they would get scared and like any one would one a child crying through out the movie. Where as adults yes they can watch it as it is 15 and over. This way it hooks a wide range of people starting from the age of 15. Teenagers from 15 will always like the fact that there is a new horror,thriller movie out and they get to watch it as they are in the age range. When they watch the movie no doubt they will talk about it after they have watched it and spread it to other people this way it hooks more people into watching the movie.

The age range relates to our research as all the of the movies which we have researched have been certificate 15. Another reason we used certificate 15 was because of the fact that the characters are in the range of 15 and older as well but not too old as the oldest s in the 20's. 

A lot of our research came from other trailers and also movies which we have watch such as:

1. Orphan
2. Paranormal Activities 2
3. Friday 13th-Crystal Lake
4. Final Destination 1-5
5. Insidious
6. Scream 1-4
