Our Group Genre Conventions. - Final decisions.

Firstly for our costumes, we have decided to go really over the top with our costumes as comedy/ horror normally portray. For instance in Scary movie the killers costume is very over the top as he is basically wearing a Halloween costume, which everyone is familiar with. The heroine in our film will be a very girly girl with lots of makeup nice clothes always caring about her looks, and if people are looking at her, like the girl at the start of scary movie Drew Decker would be the very over the top girly girl as she has a lot of makeup on and act out scenes from Baywatch as she runs through sprinklers, proving that she’s confident with her looks. Because of these costume choices this provides the film with a comedy element.

Lighting in our film will be very important but because of where we are setting it in the woods, it will be done for us so for example the darkness of the rest of the wood, Will help with the effect or mystery and make the audience feel a little scared, but the lights from around the camping site should help bring contrast to where the good and evil take place. Lighting use will help because shadows that will fall on the villains face will also help make the audience convinced that he is defiantly the evil and bad person in this film. The shadows created by the moving tree branches and falling leaves, will help as this will also connote that it’s a very eerie place where we are and that there isn't any around for miles.

Props is another very important area for our film as we are doing a horror/comedy we have to use a prop that be found funny but can do damage, so for instance when the killer first try’s to kill the victim we will use a banana as this isn't usually associated with danger or death but it makes the comedy element of our film glow, as no one expect someone to be killed with a banana. This also creates no murder weapon as then the villain can eat the weapon as has going back to his friend leaving no evidence of what killed the victim. Then the main proper killing will be done with a knife as is normally expected in a horror/comedy film.

Mis - En - Scene is actually very easy for us to accomplish due to our location of our film, the wooded area provides the scary mysterious setting we need to accomplish our theme and genre goals. Due to us setting the film at night the dark shadowy trees will reflect the moonlight creating a mysterious effect through the trees and focus all attention on the lights around the camp site. this creates the focus on the campsite but remains that the area that is in darkness is the most scaryest part of the setting.
