Production Planning
Film title ideas
1 The end is the begining
2 death is just the begining
3 night of the Cultist
4 revenge of the cultists
5 the return of the cultists
6 the cult begins
7 Cthulhu Rises
Our decided Film Title is Cthulhu Rises we chose this because it refernces the anchient god of Cthulhu and the fact that the name is not copyrighted.
Costume ideas
1 The end is the begining
2 death is just the begining
3 night of the Cultist
4 revenge of the cultists
5 the return of the cultists
6 the cult begins
7 Cthulhu Rises
Our decided Film Title is Cthulhu Rises we chose this because it refernces the anchient god of Cthulhu and the fact that the name is not copyrighted.
Costume ideas
Cultist Costume idea
the cultist would be wearing darker clothes than the victim and would be much more stronger than the victim to show his superiority over the situation.
Victim Costume idea
the victim would be in worn faded clothes and the victim himself would be cut and quite smaller than the cultist to show how powerless he is in this situation
this is the storyboard for our idea that we did not chose to do. After a hours worth of arguments it was desided that we do our main idea rather than this one. Though i personally think that this idea would work better as an opening than the idea we have currently got.
our main idea came about from a combination of ideas that callum had and the full idea that was our first plan we added more horror elemnets to the idea making it a horror thriller hybrid which i think is a risky idea seeing as we have got to get both thriller and horror elemnts in the production in the right quantites without the production becoming a full horror or thriller.

Production Research
We have decided what our Target Audience is by using the site UK Tribes
and we have decided that our film is 'alternative' although we do have some conventions that we do use but we are either combing conventions or adding in quite unknown plot points that make this production alternative.
Nerds Scene Kids links to our target audience
 |
| the two 'Tribes' that we have identified with is Nerds and Scene Kids |
we then got some people that we considered to be in our Target Audience and asked them to fill in our questionaire.
the results were quite unanimous with where they think the location should be. The resounding opinion was that the production should be shot in a forrest or in a dark isolated place which s more keeping with the horror genre.
one question that asked if our target audience has seen a monolouge used correctly was a resounding yes which came as a relief to me as i had questioned the effectiveness of a monolouge in our production.
most of them who had said that they had seen a horror thriller movie they enjoyed it which is good news for us as it is a generally well liked genre.

Title research
the title of films vary depending on the time period the film i set/created in and the genre that the film is depicting.
for the majority of horror titles the colour scheme that they use is normally white on a black background so the title stands out or red which could depict blood.
for the majority of thriller titles have a picture in the background and have the title standing out in the foreground
