Red Christmas idea - Brief over view

·        Use same idents

·        Take tints and effects off film in dusk

·        Have titles over opening sequence instead of end

2.      A Tilly Dennis film – Auteur theory

3.      Starring 3+ characters, and introducing

4.      Filmed, edited and produced by Tilly Dennis

·        Start with establishing shot, cross fade, extreme long shot cutting closer to the carol singers.

·        Alternative – cut closer to end up at killer’s window.

·        Flashback of the killer when he was younger and why he hates Christmas.

·        Picture of family present and past, fighting with siblings over presents etc

-          Props such as x mas decorations, cards, whisky and x mas tree.

·        Father could be in Santa costume; this could reflect the picture and the present killer there son.

·        Could have him stabbing Christmas card with knife so audience recognise this as weapon.

·        Fade down singing, fade up group and carol singers singing.

·        Killer goes to curtains to look out- extreme long shot of girls from across the street point of view shot. Shot needs to have room for girls to go to other houses.

·        Scream queen gets killed first.- relates to mum in picture

·        When knock happens, mince pie is squeezed or glass of whisky that spills

·        After knock all lights go off at same time girls go off.

·        When they are walking back false scare of a drunk Santa but actually being one of the girls boyfriends

·        All goes go to party apart from scream queen who left her outfit at home.

·        Tracking of the girl, eye line match but nothing there

·        She turns around again hand on her throat., ‘merry bloody Christmas’ from the Santa, shows knife from earlier on in the house.

·        Slow mo of arm when killing.
