I decided than my film would roughly be based around a killer who leaves a mark on the bodies of his victims. I needed this information before brainstorming name ideas as I wanted the name to link to the title.

Brainstorm

-Yours sincerely

-SINcerely

-Dirty Diana

-Drifter

-Boomerang

-The return

-Hallmark

-Slaughterhouse

-Soul-mark

-Contract

-Sign here...............

I decided to explain my favorite three-

Institution logo ideas

I decided to use the patterned skull design as the skull  represents death as well as the name. The colorful pattern on the skull paints a  beautiful  picture which portrays the film quality of the film. This also makes it look eye-catching and memorable.The red connotates blood and murder linking to the film genre, The golden sash in which the name is written shows a more sophisticated and well-funded company.

In Mexico , people for generations believe that death is not th final stage and so is shown in a more positive way. This links to the horror aspect of my production company as the death of characters in films will not always be the end as sequels can be made.

I decided to use the name Rigor Mortis as it sounds unique and interesting. The meaning of "rigor mortis" is also relevant to the genre of film as it's a further portrayal of death and foreshadows what is yet to come.I got the idea from one of my horror game special editions which came with Dead Island a zombie game.

Planning of film - Horror

This is a brainstorm I drew up of immediate conventions relating to horror films. This helped m elist the ppossible idea of The sub-genre ,Characters , Setting ,Weapons and Costume . From this I took the answers from my survey and target audience and a able to thing of a rough outline for my film.

Preliminary task

Unfortunately I was unable to upload my preliminary task due to computing problems . After editing my footage it would not allow me to upload it to my blog . When I went back to try again all of my clips had a yellow triangle over them and I could not play them. I had a series of issues when doing my editing as well as finding out the microphone I used ran out of battery so did not pick up any dialogue.
