The ones we will use are highlighted these will be:
The age restrictions for our film will be: the classification of 15. We came to this decision by putting the rest of our film in mind, after all the opening is just the beginning. This will be due to the swearing,discrimination and violence. The discrimination and violence will be used strongly and the swearing frequently to fit the criteria of 15.
Film institutions within horror:
- Universal studios
- Dream Works
- Warner brothers
- Paramount
- Sony pictures
- New Line
- Miramax
- 20th Century fox
- Lions gate
We are going to use is 'New Line Cinema'. We have chosen this because it is known to be a horror company and distributing sub genre slasher.
Since our last meeting we have decided not to shoot our film in the forest because its to common and we want to be original. Also that we want use hand held video filming by one of the characters as this doesn't fit well with our criteria and will not show case our filming skills.
