Script
Treatment
Treatment
Form
The film will be a live action 3D slasher horror film. Most shots within the film have movement to them and the camera normally follows the character the shot is focused on. There are also a few POV (point of view) shots that emphasize the horror by putting you in the eyes of the victim or the killer. The colour pallet is rather dull, grey and lifeless to further add an atmosphere of a more creepy and abandoned area.Content and style
The style of the film will be live action with a lot of handheld camera shots to add the horror effect through the camera shots. The opening of the film will consist of the killer chasing someone with an axe through the woods and eventually killing him the camera then reveals that someone else saw the killer kill the person.Potential position in the market
The film will be rather low in the market because it’s a student film and there is not a big market for student made slasher films.
Target audience
The target audience for the film will be people who enjoy horror and thriller movies that focus on a killer and that are a fan of the slasher sub genre of horror. Movies like Halloween, Friday the 13th, Scream and Psycho.2 key scenes

Merchandise
For merchandise we could sell foam axes as that’s what the killer uses as his weapon of choice. We could also sell replicas of the mask the killer wears. T-shirts could also be sold with the killer on them.
