30th November update

We've been finishing off our Similar Media Works powerpoint and sorting out the storyboard recently. The powerpoint was very useful in that we had to do a lot of research into the horror genre, making the planning of our film easier in that we had more ideas of camera angle and lighting. We've so far produced a basic photo storyboard, and plan to later create one with voiceover explaining what shots we want to make use of where and why we've chosen to do this. This will be quite useful to work from when writing a script and actually filming.
We've created our film brief now, and decided on the over-all plot of our film; the basic theme is the stalking of six seemingly unlinked girls. Those behind it are not only psychopaths but scientists who want to create the "perfect" person, but we'll stick predominantly in the psychological side, rather than the technical sci-fi. The scientists identify six girls they believe together have the perfect features or limbs and set about torturing and mutilating them, with the actual film seeing two out of the original six victims surviving. The opening 2 minutes of our film will show part of one of the victims attack, as she is followed home. The flashing video and still frames at the start just before the film title comes up will also show the rest of the victims, with the body part the scientists have identified as being perfect marked with a black "X"
