Synoposis of My Horror Film

Synopsis of My Horror Film(Vicini)

 

Mr vicini is moving into a new neighbourhood and he is going to be a bit different to everyone else. He looks through the newspaper finding a house crossing out the houses he doesn't like and then circles the house he decides to move into.

 

Mr vicini is just doing everything a normal man would do preparing his dinner in the kitchen, slicing the carrots and cooking them in the pan while listening to the jazz music on the radio.

He dragged the rubbish bag, out of the back doors and threw it into the rubbish bin but this is when he changes, he looked at the bin bag and saw an arm hanging out but acting as nothing happens he makes sure nobody is looking and slowly puts it back into the bag... A young boy is sitting on his bicycle holding a lollipop watching mr vicini and he rings his bike bell, mr vicini looks at the boy and next minute you see the bike being put in the rubbish too, who knows what has happened to the boy?...

Mr vicini goes back into the house and tidies up his rubbish. He finds out more about his neighbourhood and let's hope he doesn't destroy the whole neighbourhood he could change the neighbourhood forever! 

Mr vicini is not the ordinary new neighbour that you see moving in he analysed his house carefully and could take the neighbourhood down and death could be all around!!

My Pitch Script

Pitch Script

·         Open prezzi, Ryan and Harry talk about opening titles and give an introduction to it.  

·         Click onto the page titled summary and Harry and Ryan carry on talking.

·         Go onto inspiration bubble and watch the trailer of Stepfather:

·         JESS: We have been inspired to create this opening title after watching the stepfather in our lesson. How the opening was all calm and tranquil then it showed the dead family was a surprise giving it that horror element. After looking into similar horrors we came across the film Dexter, which is another horror based on everyday things seeming sinister.

·         Lucy and Jess go on to the Sound slide:

·         LUCY: At the start of the opening we hear a knife chop first this leaves the audience wondering what is going to happen but then we see Mr Vicini cutting vegetables which should be opposite to what the viewers are expecting giving the genre of the film. There is a radio playing and it has jazz music on to link in with the 1950s theme and it’s also there to juxtapose against the horror genre as it’s seen as uplifting music. You hear a violin to add tension and suspense to the mood. A bin bag is rustled as Mr Vicini places the victim in the trash which is there to add effect and link in with the murder aspect of horror films.        

·         Harry and Ryan talk about location and lighting

·         Lucy and Jess talk about costume and character:

·         JESS: We are going to have two characters, Mr Vicini and Malcolm.  Mr Vicini will be seen wearing a smart black 1950s style suit we have chosen to dress him like this to stay within the theme of the 1950s, the idea of happiness and joy in that era.

·         LUCY: Malcolm will be wearing shorts, t shirt socks and converse. This is done to make him look like a typical boy from 1   950s America and once again stay within our theme. He would look unexpected to be murdered as he looks like a very innocent child who hasn’t done anything wrong.

·         Harry and Ryan talk about props

·         Audience

·         JESS: We have chosen age 12, as it has an element of comedy but has scenes of violence

·          HARRY: we haven’t chose 15 because there is murder in our film but you don’t see any of the murder you just see the after effect of it when the character is dead

·         LUCY: as violence in 12 shouldn’t dwell on detail there will be evidence of blood but it will not be emphasised but the occasional moments of gore are ok.
