Logo

Here i have made a logo for our studio i chose the name "killer productions" as i though it is slightly  different as i do not think that any other studio would be bold enough to chose this name. For the design i simply put on a black background and wrote two words "killer" and "productions" an pasted an image.

Planning: Synopsis

Who The Main Characters Are...

Charlotte
Ryan
Luke

What Will Happen In The Sequence...

The film will begin with a chase scene, through a forest, consisting of a fast-paced close-up shots. It will be clear to the audience that Ryan is trying to get Charlotte. It will be revealed that they are simply making a film with their friend Luke. As they have a laugh and and are about to watch the footage they have so far, Luke and Ryan decided to go and get some fire-wood. When they do so, Charlotte takes a look at a scene that they have just filmed, and sees a man standing behind her on the footage. She turns around as she hears a noise and then when she looks back at the screen, the figure is directly in front of it. She drops the camera to the ground and screams. Luke and Ryan hear this and run to her location, when the arrive there, they see her hand in the camera's screen being dragged away. They are terrified, and in their frantic state, set off in the direction she was dragged.

Throughout the sequence, there will be cross-cutting between the chase scene and title credits. At the end  of the sequence when the scene fades to black, the title of the film, 'Isolation', is revealed.

What Will Happen In The Film...

The film will start with three teenage friends, Ryan, Luke and Charlotte, who innocently set-up camp in a forest, while shooting an amateur film. When all seems to be going well, Charlotte is taken. Knowing this only via a camera recording, Luke and Ryan set out to find her. The rest of the film will be about Luke and Ryan trying to find out the truth about what happened to Charlotte, and find out what happened to her.
