OUR FILM

• The name of our film is “Die-ary” Our film is an extreme horror. Our story line is about an author named Christian, and the power he posses to kill people by writing the story of their death in his diary. The plot line also consists of three other young adults on their holiday to the woodlands totally oblivious that they are all going to be the newest victims to Christian Howl's latest Nightmare story.

INSPIRATION (CABIN IN THE WOODS)

• Cabin in the woods was a great inspiration to us as a group because the movie had all the stereotypes associated with extreme horrors such as the range of stereotyped characters: The “jock”, the “geek”, the “stoner”, the “slut” and the innocent one. It was a perfect example of extreme horror at its core. We also shared the resemblance with the movie by having these stereotypes present in our movie.

TWISTED PICTURES/LIONS GATE• Twisted Pictures is an American independent production company,

mainly creating films of the horror genre. The company was founded in 2004 by Evolution Entertainment's Mark Burg, Oren Koules and Gregg Hoffman. They are known for producing the Saw film series.

• Twisted pictures are renowned for distributing extreme horrors such as Saw. This would make our media product fit right into the companies line of fantastic films. They also have a distribution deal with Lionsgate (a North American entertainment company) which is also an established entertainment company which would make Twisted Pictures a truly valuable company to distribute our media product. However they are based in America which does not suit the target market that we are trying to aim our media product at.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS

• Universal Studios Inc. (also known as Universal Pictures), is an American motion picture studio, owned by Comcast, and is one of the six major movie studios. It is one of the longest-lived motion picture studios to be located outside of Hollywood. It is a sub division of American media conglomerate NBCUniversal.

• Universal are also a large corporation indeed and they are a well know business. They have produced such films as Psycho, Jaws and Frankenstein. These are legendary horror movies which would make our media product fit right in. However the company is American which would not be suitable for our media product because our product is intended for British viewers.

HAMMER FILM PRODUCTIONS• Hammer is one of the most well-

known film brands in the UK. Since its birth in 1934, Hammer has made over 150 feature films and it is responsible for the worldwide smash The Woman In Black, the critically acclaimed Let Me In and Wake Wood, and tense psychological thriller The Resident.
