Planning of Production-Connotations of a Horror/Action Project

Our group settled on our project being an action film with horror elements as these came out as the top two options in my survey. Secondly this genre area suits our style of filmmaking paired with our enthusiasm for the conventions associated with these genres.


Today, we discussed the idea of a combat scene featuring in the production. This lead to a joint decision that a combat scene will be featuring in our production however there were still issues of contrasting opinions. An example of this is whether or not we would feature on screen deaths with a vote of 3-1 in favour of having an onscreen death. We watched fight scenes from various films and discussed whether or not we would be using weapons. Once again it was a case of voting which came out as 3-1 in favour of featuring weapons in order to make the on screen death more realistic.

The fight scene that features in the film 'Green Street' is going to be the largest creative influence we will take into account due to its gritty nature and realistic tone. This will be reflected in our project as we will utilise various camera shots to enhance the gritty ethos that will be retained throughout the project.
