Welcome to my blog, at the moment I'm on my AS Media Studies course. This blog is designed to contain a record of all the research and planning, leading up to the production of our slasher film (tentatively entitled 'Red Christmas'...)

Swede Pitch

My idea is that we should do a swede of the film Scream (1996, Wes Craven). As a horror film, there would be great opportunities to mess around with the genre; and as a satire of the cliches of horror films there are plenty of comedic moments that can be exaggerated to great effect.

Horror films are fairly easy to make as they don't require a lot of computer effects, and are usually based around practical effects and stunts that can be done physically. They also have a few main locations, most of which can be filmed around the local area.

It would be easy to shoot and quick to edit, and props and costumes would be very basic; so nothing that would be hard to locate in time. In terms of what scenes should be shot, I think the films most famous scenes should be included - the telephone call at the very beginning, the 'rules of a horror movie', and the action leading up to the climax.
