pitching our film

This was created as if we were actually trying to get funding to make our film. It includes the storyline in a nutshell, our production company, the unique selling point of this film, genres and sub-genres ect.


In the real world we would aim to get our funding from 'Working Title films'
Some other horror films they have funded are:
The Interpreter (2005)
Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
A Kiss Before Dying (1991)
Long Time Dead (2002)
My Little Eye (2002)

Preliminary Task

                                    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsbA7MZ_DRg

One of our tasks was our preliminary exercise. In this we had to film and edit a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in an opposite chair from another character. Also the character had to exchange a few lines of dialogue.

In this task we demonstrated:

Match on action
this means that when something is happening in the scene and there is a cut, when the camera is back on the same action must be taking place, (opening and closing a door) this is a good example of continuity editing.

180-degree rule

This rule states that the camera must keep to one side of the characters, the imaginary line is drawn perpendicular to the cameras view point. - in ours we had a conversation over a table which clearly shows this rule.

Shot/reverse shot
This is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character and the other character looks back, seems as they are facing different ways, the audience percieves them to be looking at each other.- in our preliminary task this is shown in the coversation over the table.

Title&Font

The group decided that we prefered the more simplistic fonts for the title and not one with too much going off. These are some that we looked at-

We decided that it didnt look as good with the dashes in because they didnt match the title or font, so we didnt include them in our final title.

PEEK A BOO
The title of the film 'Peek a boo' comes from a game which the antagonist often played as a child, when he seemed to be innocent and naive. As we have included it into a horror film the meaning becomes more un-natural and disturbs the audience as well as the killers victims.
