Resit - Initial Ideas Sophie Tindall + Jo Peplow-Revell

We decided to put our ideas and decisions into a video clip with a voiceover. We researched different horror films on 'youtube' to then print screen the aspects we liked about them to then discuss and continue to plan what we would like to include within our horror film.

We split the photographs of the screenshots into different categories that we think were relevant; stalking, setting, titles, love and other significant details. Together, we agreed these were the recurring themes we found in horror films and would make ours believeable if we followed these themes.

The programme we used was iMovie. Furthermore, we also wrote our own scripts where we contributed ideas to each section.

Sophie Tindall + Jo Peplow-Revell Re-sit Initial Ideas

Here are our initial ideas.

We looked into the theme of love. Looking into the emotions involved with love; such as jealousy, happiness and also sadness. There is also the aspect of the breakdown of a relationship and this can lead to misery and in many horror films, the element of stalking often occurs.


Another element we agreed was in horror films was murder. We looked into the props we could use to portray this and we thought of knives, what type of knives we could use that would be realistic and if we used them how easily accessible they would be to the murderer to keep it realistic.


Following the theme of love, we discussed the theme of stalking. We looked into what causes the antagonist to stalk or follow the protaganist; such as isolation and love. The settings we considered nature, for example. As it is often dark and damp and would connote and reflect the feelings involved.


Another element we considered was revenge. We thought of the situations that might occur to lead to the character wanting revenge.

Sophie Tindall + Jo Peplow-Revell Re-sit for G321

We are re-sitting our G321 coursework from AS year. Following this post will be all our re-sit work.

Final (final!) Edit

The changes we have made are the following:

- Transition from conversation into next shot
- Production names to just 'Peephole Production'
- Zoomed in on the 'Peephole' credit to exclude the thumb from the shot

- Sophie

Recent Film Changes

Today, I changed the credits from the producer names;
Jo Peplow-Revell, Sophie Tindall & Hazel Clifton
to just "Peephole Productions". As this is the name of our group and also our institution, it is better than having all three of our names as this isn't realistic to what you would see in a real film. I have also edited the credit screen at the end, so the hand is barely showing and the credit and the flame fills the screen more, giving it an overall better look as it is now framed properly. We will upload this soon.

This is the final script, there is quite a lot of dialogue in the first two minutes of our film, this is because more dialogue makes our storyline easier to understand.
