NarrativeKaya

Our film is open narrative, Why?

• Our film goes through a story of Laura finding out about the ghosts and the reasons for why they’re there, however at the end, we have a false ending. Laura will think she solved the problem and free the sprits, however, they will live on in the house and the problem will carry on, just not for Laura

• It leaves the audience asking questions at the end

How has it developed since Draft 1?

• Since draft 1, we have had a closed narrative, however, because we have changed to the thriller genre we want to suit the conventions of how they generally end their films and they usually have false ending so we have developed it into a open narrative

P

NarrativeKaya

Our film is non-linear narrative, Why?

• Our film is a story that goes from start, middle, to end, however, in order to show what happened in the house years before we will show cuts from way in the past to the modern day

START MIDDLE END

How has this developed since draft 1?

• From draft 1 we weren't going to show the past time of what happened before, however now we are showing important moments from the past in order for the audience to understand

Equilibrium – Laura has just moved in and her life is normal

Disequilibrium – She realises she's being haunted and they disrupt her life

New Equilibrium – She thinks she let the sprits go and moves house and her life is equal again

on characters contained in a film,

Why we wont be using his theory…

The villain – The two ghost are the villain type as they try to hurt Laura and disturb her life.The dispatcher – This doesn't apply to our film at all, there is no hero to send offThe (magical) helper – Laura’s best friend Dawn helps her to take the dolls awayThe princess or prize – There is no prize and its based on real lifeHer father – She doesn't have a father, it’s a broken familyThe donor – The film is based on real life therefore no magical objectsThe hero or victim/seeker hero – Laura acts as a hero in helping the sprits pass onFalse hero – There is no hero therefore no false hero

On Binary opposition

How we will be using this theory

Normal life : Haunted life

Laura moves into a house expecting a normal life

She gets haunted and disturbed until she moves out of the house

Past : Present

We see the past happenings of the house

We see the present occurrences in that house

The ring

During the opening of the ring, we were inspired by the white colour of the font making it look quite ghostly. Also the way the text is not in line made it seem more childlike, which we thought would link to our childish doll sentiments,

CreditsKaya

Devil - 2010

We were inspired by the credits in Devil because of the way the credits come on screen then fade away after. We thought it suited our opening sequence in the

sense that it’s calm, just like the beginning of ours and now too attention grabbing, so that our character is still the main focus.

Here are some of our idea’s of what we would like to use in our title

S

Maids

secretsWe like this as its very conventional

in ghost films and there's very minimal choice on IMovie so we

though this would be a good choice in font.

It’s not too bold and goes well with our opening sequence

We like this font because it looks like writing written in the 1800’s which is

when the ghost maids were living. Also we feel as though it suits our

opening sequence. However, its not very conventional to ghost films from

the research shown and IMovie doesn't have must variety anyway

IDEAS FOR COLOUR OF FONT

Maids secrets

For the credits we cant to use the same font as our title called ’batang’. A colour we might

use is grey, because it looks mysterious however we didn’t like it cause it looked to

dull and weren’t very eye-catching.

For the credits we cant to use the same font as our title called ’batang’. A colour we might

use is black as its simple, dark, and mysterious. We feel it suits our opening

sequence but it doesn't distract too much attention

For the credits we cant to use the same font as our title called ’batang’. A colour we might use

is red, we feel it really suits our opening sequence as it shows something bad happens like violence. The red would stand out during

our opening sequence so that could be a problem

For the credits we cant to use the same font as our title called ’batang’. A colour we might use is white. It’s the same colour as our title

would be as it goes with our opening sequence of a spirit looking or wearing white

and so we think this looks well for our opening sequence.

Non-diegetic sound

The sound used in insidious opening sequence has greatly inspired me to use it through our opening sequence. It creates a big climax with tensions as well as making it uncomfortable and scary for the audience. It is a very high pitched violin sound which gets extremely fast when the tensions get to its highest points to a sudden stop or thud perfect to fit with our opening sequence

BBFC And Rating

What is BBFC- The British Board of Film Classification.

What is BBFC used for- responsible for what was shown in cinemas and from early on established the decisions of the BBFC.

Are film will be rated an 15 because it not in the interest of an younger audience.

BBFC And Rating • It is impossible to predict what might upset any particular child. But a ‘U’ film should be suitable for audiences aged four

years and over. ‘U’ films should be set within a positive moral framework and should deal supportive offsets to any violence, threat or horror.

• children of any age may watch. A ‘PG’ film should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. However, parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger or more sensitive children.

• Exactly the same standards are used to classify works at ‘12A’ and ‘12’. These categories are awarded where the material is suitable, in general, only for those aged 12 and over. Works classified at these categories may upset children under 12 or contain material which many parents will find unsuitable for them.

• No one younger than 15 may see a ‘15’ film in a cinema. No one younger than 15 may rent or buy a ‘15’ rated video work.

• Only adults are admitted. Nobody younger than 18 can rent or buy an 18-rated VHS, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, UMD or game, or watch a film in the cinema with this rating. Films under this category do not have control on the bad language that is used. Scenes of strong real sex may be permitted if right by the context.
