Venue list

Dodds lane (maghull)


We chose to use this location because it was ideal for the part when the killer looks through the window at the victim because of the windows it has. We had to look at the possible houses we could use and decide which was best for the scene.

Deyes high school (maghull)


we chose to film here because it had relevance to what the story is of the killer who went to the school. And we felt this is a location where a news report would be done if it had relevance to the story.

Morissons walk way (maghull)


We chose to use this location because it looks like a deprived area. It is a dirty area shown by the graffiti on the shutters of the shop. it also looks like an area that would be abandoned and nobody would go down there.

Deyes end (maghull)


We used this house to film the scene where one of the actors is talking on the phone. we chose to use this because it is just an average house to give the effect that the charictors are just average people.


Eskdale drive (maghull)


We chose to use this road for the getaway scene in the car because it isnt a busy road to make sure it was safe to do the scene.

Maghull square alley-way


We chose to use this alley-way because on the other side of the door area it is not a nice looking place which we thaught would look good for

Ennerdale avenue alley-way (maghull)

We chose to use this alley-way because it has not good good visibity to see into it and thaught it would be ideal for the scene where the killer gets beat up.

Story board for film trailer





This is the story board which our group produced for planning what we where going to film in each scene. some of the scenes in the film are different to what is shown on the story board, this is because we felt we could improve bits of the film by making the changes we have.

Music for film trailer 'Insane'




for our film trailer our group chose to use evenesence's song "bring me to life" we chose to use the instrumental version of the song instead of the origional with the words because we felt that it build the tension better and with the words it didnt fit very well with the trailer. There is also a section in it where the music goes off for about 2 seconds which we thaught we could use for emphesis on dialog used in the trailer.

Props list



these are props that we used in creating our film.

Toy Gun- We used this to create the effect of a real gun, we felt the gun we used was realistic for what we needed. We use it in a few different scenes in the film.

champion newspaper- We used a newspaper in the scene where the victim that gets away is sitting at home. We used this to show he is in a his at home relaxing.

house phone- we used the house phone in one of the scenes, we used this to show that he is in his own home and that he talking to someone he knows.

kitchen knife- this is used to create the effect that the victim is scared in his own home because he thinks there is someone there. we used a big sharp knife because this is a typical knife used in horror films.

vaxhall corsa- we used this in the getaway scene, We where able to make sure that the driver we had was safe while driving by making sure all roads leaing to the road that he was driving on.

Analysis of horror film trailer: Jeepers Creepers



I chose to analyse this trailer because it is of a similar genre to the trailer that i am creating. I also decided to analyse this because it is of a similar length to the boundries that i have been set for creating my trailer.

The trailer starts by stating the age guidlines for watching it. It then fades to black and starts showing some of the footage, it begins by introducing the main character and shows what it does and gives an idea into what the film is about. After this is shows the some of the institutions and companies which are assoctiated with the film. It then cuts to the scene where the main charater stops the bus and as this happens creepy style music begins to play to show that something bad it going to happen, the music continuis while the woman is using the phone on the bus but it is lowered so that you can hear the woman talking. A voice over is then used saying "it is going to be dark in about an hour" after this happens it then cuts to what the audience will presume is an hour later when it is dark. The tempo of the music always picks up at a time when the main character enters or is about to enter the scene. It uses title screens to explain parts of the film and uses a voice over saying what the title screen says. then the woman who is pictured in this part is presumed to be doing a voice over giving a breif explination of the film. It then goes into a series of quick cuts showing different scenes within the film, within these scenes is uses lots of close ups to show horror on the faces of the characters. to end the film it has the title of the film "Jeepers Creepers 2" and the voice over of someone saying the title, it also shows a title screen with the date on it the date for this film sayin "coming soon" also at the bottom of this screen it shows the institutions and companies that are assosiated with this film.
