Planning for our Film- Actors

Actors:

Our first actor will be a sterotypical mum played by Susi Cracroft

Aged: 30-40

Our second actor is is played by George Marshall, he will be playing the role of a possesed child.

Aged- Between 8-10 years.

The relationship between our two actors is suitable as they are mother and son in real life. This helps add to the realism of the film and also makes the relationship seem more naturel on camera.

Planning for our Film- Target Audience

The target audience for our film is going to be:

Males aged 25-35 as the age certificate for our film is 15.
Its going to be primarily aimed at single males as they will have more money to spend on themselves.
Its also aimed at males who are employed as they will also have more money to spend.

We chose to give our film and age certificate of 15 as its suitable for the content which will in our film. Our film will contain aspects of the supernatural and therefor would unsuitable for younger audiences.  

Planning for our Film- Title

The title of film is called "Intruder"
We chose this name for film as it connotes the idea of someone not being welcome. The fact that our film is set within a home and the idea of a home representing a place of safety can make the audience feel uneasy and unsafe as this is where are film takes place.

Planning for our Film- Storyboards

 Storyboards

This was the original concept for our film

Shot 1:
Shot 1 shows our production company name appearing which then fades to black, with a static effect and non-diegetic sound effect.

Shot 2:
Shot 2 is a panning camera along an extreme close up of some police tape. Our 999 call then begins to play in the background.

Shot 3:
Shot 3 begins to show our actors names which are shown to appear on the police tape as the camera is still panning across it. The 999 call is still happening in the background.

Shot 4:
Shot 4 is a will be a close up on a police siren which will feature our actors names. The sound of a faint siren will play in the background and the rest of the 999 call will be finishing.

Shot 5:
Shot 5 is a shot of a police statement book in which the officer will be filling out. The book will then show more actors names which will act as part of the title sequence. Our diegetic sound between the officer and mother will begin to play as it fades to black

Shot 6:
Shot 6 will make use of shot-reverse-shots in order to show an interview that's happening between the distressed mother and the policeman. The diegetic sound of the conversation between the mother and policeman will play until the next scene. The camera is placed so the audience will see the policeman's point of view and will switch to the mothers in the next scene.

Shot 7:
Shot 7 will use a split screen effect to make it look like a CCTV effect. The possessed boy will then begin walking down the stairs. The possessed boy will appear in different parts of the screen to make it appear multiple cameras are recording him all at the same time. Non diegetic sound will play to fit the current scene, the music has a dark theme and quite whispers in the background to strengthen the idea of a possessed child.

Shot 8:
Shot 8 goes back to the conversation between the mother and policeman. This time the camera is shown to be the mothers point of view. The conversation picks up where it left off in the last scene they were in.

Shot 9:
The final shot shows the possessed boy walking into the kitchen before staring directly at the camera. When the boy stares at the camera a static effect is added in to make it appear he has some strange power. The non diegetic sound of the quite whispers is still heard in the background.
