The Purpose of the Setting Chosen

The reason for taking this image was because I felt that it was essential to capture the whole room from where I wanted to film my production. I found this room effective because I thought that this room is spacious, large and the advantage of dimming the light bulb was an advantage to shoot. I believed that this room had made it easier for me because in my opening horror movie there are 4 young teenage girls and boys. This is why I felt that a big room was versatile and multitalented. I also felt that this room was useful because I had candle displays, which I wanted to exhibit. I felt that this was effective because the while concept of my horror movie was oriented regarding the Ouija Board and I felt this would construct an eerie and unnatural atmosphere.

The Purpose of the Ouija Board

The reason for why I chose to make a Ouija Board was because I felt that, this would appeal to my target audience, as teenagers and adults play the Ouija Board because they want to contact the dead spirits, for entertainment purposes and to see whether the myths or accurate or false.

Horror Forms and Conventions

The reason for why I captured the second image was because I felt that this was significant because there are alot of candles around the Ouija Board and the room. I felt this was effectual because this makes the opening scene seem more frightening as if this is a real horror movie.

The reason for why I felt that candle displays should be a part of my opening scene was because the candle, gives a terrifying and alarming thought that something unforeseen and unexpected might occur.

Horror Forms and Conventions

I felt that it was more effective for me to have dimmed the light as the luminous candles would stand out. I thought that this would seem successful because this would make the characters seem more approachable and amicable in the opening scene.

Another reason for why I have chosen this bedroom is because the light switch has a dimming authority. I felt that this was essential because this would be effective for when I would be capturing my horror movie. Therefore, in my opening scene at the beginning the light was bright but later on the character herself dims the light because this suggests that she is ready to play the Ouija Board. This also makes the viewers feel that something unexpected is going to happen.

Target Audience

The reason for why I chose three females and one male is because this would attract young female teenagers. As the characters age range appeals to my target group.

Possessed Character

I felt that it was necessary for one of the female to be possessed as this would leave to suspense, anticipation and tension. I felt that it was essential for the character to get possessed at the end of the opening scene, because this would attract more teenagers and this would be effective as the females approach seems to be deviant and sinister.
