Slenderman Poster

We thought it would be effective to create a mock poster to show what we would do to promte the distribution of our film we have stuck to the conventions of horror even within our poster the dark low key lighting scary stile of writing and slenderman sporting the front of the poster to show the audience what to expect the poster also includes the age rating for our film and the main actors names above

Pitch

The whole opening scene is close ups of wooden dolls faces, they all seem to show shocked, sad,creepy and angry emotions, although there are a lot of different emotion they all looks scary, this show that the story is going to be based around ventriloquists or something of that sort, this also shows that the wooden dolls aren't going to be the hero's of this story, they are going to be the opposite. The clips of the dummies just fade from one to the other, apart from the last two frames merge as a graphic match, to show that evil is hidden behind the ventriloquist dolls, this could maybe hint that the last doll is the evil one and is maybe going to get the other dummies to become evil too. As all of the shots are close ups it makes the audience feel more connected to the dummy which could make it more scary/creepy. The titles are dotted around the screen fading with the clip, as they both fade together it makes it look more professional than if they were out of time of each other, the opening sequence follows the tradition by ending the titles on edited by. The music behind this clip is very eery which adds the the idea of the ventriloquist dolls being evil.

Floor Plan

Audience Research

Nobody younger than 15 can watch a film in the cinema with this rating. Films under this category can contain adult themes, hard drugs, strong words, moderate-strong violence/sex references, and mild non-detailed sex activity.

Nobody younger than 18 can watch a film in the cinema with this rating. Films under this category do not have limitation on the bad language that is used. Hard drugs are generally allowed, and strong violence/sex references along with non-detailed sex activity is also allowed.


With reference to the BBFC, I believe that the film we are making should be a 15, therefore anybody under this age will no be able to watch the film in the cinema. This is because of the use of moderate-strong violence, the use of strong language and slight references to drugs.


A similar film which is called "The Rite" was classified as a 15 recently by the BBFC. The genre of this film is Horror, therefore it may share similar things to the film we are making. It contains strong supernatural horror and disturbing images. It is very likely that our film will make scenes which will contain rather disturbing images, this is because of the plot. Supernatural horror may also arise in our production.


This film will appeal to a target audience which get a thrill out of horror. The target audience will obviously for people aged around 20-30, anybody over the age of 15 can watch it but the fact that its a horror makes it more suitable for an older audience. The way it gets to the audience is by the characters, gore and the narrative itself.
