Have finished my DVD cover, poster and DVD menu as well as my actual DVD adding a few little bits to my folder including my evaluation.

week 7

• ok so week 7 is already not off to a good start so far have had no luck in sorting out the issues with capturing my footage to a pc to begin editing. dave however has been trying to help fix the problem will be talking to keith to see if I can get the problem fixed tommorow.
• This week I will finish my final poster as well as finish my DVD cover.

Due to the time constraints and editing problems I am falling back to my contingency plan and will no longer be doing a full 15 minuite movie but instead will do a trailer instead still of course including a DVD menu and advertisng package.

from looking on youtube I have found some video's that could prove to be useful in the movie making process. they explain in a few key points how to make a horror movie and some of the best ways to go about making a horror film.

For my final media project i plan to produce a single camera drama. This single camera film will be in the style of a psychological supernatural horror film in which i will use most of the conventions displayed in that genre of film. I plan to base this film around an old children's rhyme i heard as a child about a local serial killer known as Mary Anne Cotton.

Mary Anne Cotton,
She's dead and she's rotten
She lies in her bed,
With her eyes wide open
Sing, sing, oh, what can i sing,
Mary Anne Cotton is tied up with string
Where, where? up in the air
Sellin' black pudding's a penny a pair.

I also plan to use aspects from other horror movies such as dead silence in which the evil spirit of the deceased can be angered and take out its revenge on those who have angered it. filming i expect will be mainly at night in woodland locations, houses and college. to make the film interactive I may include buttons in which the audience can decide what action the character will take which will effect the ending of the film. ( though this is not a definite feature).

I also plan to put the film onto a DVD with a fully functional DVD menu system complete with trailers, behind the scenes and interviews. to accompany the film and DVD i hope to make movie posters, film tickets and DV case cover. If I have time i may include a promotional one page website for the movie.
