Sounds:Diagetic and non-diagetic



this non-copyrighted song above has some very interesting sounds which I believe I can cut up and use.



this is the sound of a musical jewelry box, it is a very important sound as it will act as a catalyst for tension to rise within the trailer.


We have had a lot of trouble finding the appropriate music for our trailer, we have tried using various songs but none seem to work with it, I am hoping that if we use the Musical Ballet box music properly it can be the base sound to our trailer.

Task assignments

Throughout this project we have had to assign different tasks to each other within the group, we did this so we can each focus on one thing to make it as good as possible.

Today we assigned tasks to each group member.

  • Ertan had to look at existing Horror film posters.
  • Gramos had to look at Magazine front covers.
  • And I had to do the storyboard.

target audience profile

Above is a URL link to a target audience profile for a psychological horror. I have uploaded this URL because it links to what my group needs to do for our target audience profile for our potential audience and how we can go about writing it.

Our target audience is from the ages of 15 - 30+ as the certificate age of our film we be a 15+ film. we have chosen this age group because our horror production we are creating will be more of a psychological horror therefore we appeal to the older audiences with that aspect of the genre. We appeal to the younger audience because of the sheer horror aspects which most younger audiences look for in horrors to have a sense of fear and fright.

Our film production aims to a rather wide audience as we do not aim the film at any people of a certain class the film will be made for all types of people lower, middle and the ruling class as the film will have intelligence as an aspect because of the fact that its a psychological horror it also fulfills the main concepts of horror films which is to scare the audience.

How is our film a Psychological horror?




This research and comparison of psychological horrors was very useful, as it will not only confirm what type of film our is but help us use these conventions to improve our trailer.

Amy Smith - Character Profile

We want this evil re-incarnation of Amy Smith to have similar physical and mental characterstics to characters like, the exorcist girl ,The ring girl and the grudge girl.

.The girl is 10 years old

.She is the evil re-incarnation of Amy Smith

.Was very quite in day to day life before she died, this characteristic makes her mysterious

.She is very intelligent, this gives her power.

.She has a lot of anger inside her because her parents where not there for her, she takes this anger out on any family that lives in her house.

.She wears a plain white gown, like the ring girl, I think the simplicity of the costume makes her scary and lifeless.

.Her attachment to the Musical Ballet box and the use of it to taunt the victims show her mental instability.

.She is illusive and only appears to terrorize the inhabitants of her house.

The Grudge Girl

To create our Character I believe it is important we look at similar character in existing films to get inspiration.

A character we have undoubtedly looked in to is the evil girl from ‘The Grudge’ ,Her background is very similar to our Antagonists ( Amy smith) background, she was also killed in her own house and haunts it like our character, Similarly our character (Amy smith) also holds a grudge.I think The Grudge girl has a lot of interesting characteristics we can use and develop. I like the way the evil girl in grudge is quite illusive and sly ,there are examples of this in The Grudge trailer

This shot really gives a sense of her being sly, and I believe we can use make similar shots to show this characteristic.
