Audience profiling

I have done some research into the type of people that would like our film. I asked people of different ages what there favourite genre is . I did this to find out what sort of audience would watch our genre of film.

10-20 years of age: I asked five people in this age category. Four people said that horror is there favourite genre and one person said that gangster is there favourite genre.

20-40 years of age: I asked five people in this age category. Three people said that action is their favourite genre. One person said that horror is their favourite genre. And one person said comedy is their favourite genre.

40+: I asked five people in this age category. Three people said that drama is their favourite genre. And two people said that romance is their favourite genre.

From my research I can come to the conclusion that people aged 10-20 are most likely to be the target audience for my film.

Knock Knock

Production Company - Rogue Pictures

We have decided to use the institution Rogue Pictures for our production company because they are the main production for creating horror films. They have created films like The last house on the left, Shaun of the dead, Seed of chucky and The Strangers.
Most of the films that they have produced our made on a low budget. They have ranged between $1,000,000 and $45,000,000. This is the perfect amount of money that we feel would be needed to produce our film.

Time management

We started our filming Saturday. We managed to do the opening 30 seconds of our film clip. It took us a lot of time setting up the props and location. We also found it hard to get the lighting contrast right. This was the main reason why it took us so long to film 30 seconds worth of footage. We also had to make slight alterations to the actual storyline as we aim across certain problems. For example we were unable to get a gas mask for the killer to wear, so now we are using an ice hockey mask covered in red blood.

Storyboard

Name of film

'Knock Knock' - we felt this was an appropriate name for the film as it fits in perfectly with the storyline as the killer knocks on the door before killing his victim.

Costumes/ Props

Costumes:

Alex (killer) - he will be wearing an army jacket, black jeans and military boots. This is to make him look scary and mysterious. We want this character to have a sense of mystery about him, to engage the audience.

Joe (victim) - he will be wearing a hoodie and tracksuit bottoms as he would be coming back from football training.

Props:

-Knife (used in the stabbing scene)
-Television (used in the scene where the killer is watching an horror movie)
-Phone (used in the scene where the victim is talking to his girlfriend)
-Gas mask (worn by the killer)
-Sports bag (the victim has it on him as he comes through the door in the opening scene)
