My Pitch

For my film magazine, will be to talk about a new upcoming horror film and it will have some new but famous actors introduced through this film. The magazine will be available to the audience on a majority of platforms, so a lot of people will be able to access it. The colour scheme I am using will be black and red, as these colours represent darkness and blood, as this horror film will be quite gory, I have decided to change the age rating of my film, as it is meant for people still in school it will be a 16, mainly because of its gore and explicit content, the viewers will be either with a parent or be in their teens. I will be using Max Beavis as my main actor, he is a famous upcoming actor and is known well for his previous small movie roles. I will be using focus groups, and questionnaires so the audience can discuss my idea, this way they can give their own opinion on my idea so I get a better look of how successful my movie will be. The movie will be set in Haydon School as it is a horror within the school, as it’s a ghost horror film, as the school is haunted.

The purpose of the film magazine will be to inform, yet to also entertain the reader. It will be telling the reader all about the film, what props were going to use, the actors, and will also go through the movie plot.

My Idea

List of locations

■ The location I have chosen is Haydon School, I have chosen this school as it has a wide range of places I can have a photo shoot. Haydon School has a wide range of studios that I could have my photo shoots in, especially there drama studio as it’s got a big space. Haydon School is appropriate for my photo shoot as once again it’s a horror film within a school.

Resources/Props

■ The props I am going to be using are mainly fake blood, ghosts, and probably some skeletons. I am using props like this to keep the horror theme, it will make the viewer know straight away that it is a horror and makes them anxious to watch it.
