OUGD202 Movie Season Rationale

Working Title(s) - "...till death us do part." or "heart-breakers"

Subject - Horror/gore films of mainstream cinema from the past decade selected for a cosy night of fright.

Concept - Classic horror/gore film from the 21st century are popular today by various mature audiences. Although perhaps unconventional for a period of time that would be seen as a time of love, horror films provide an alternative to those audiences whom may not seek to view fantasiful love films.

Audience - This is largely male dominated but the horror genre is most popular with youth both male and female and those aged less than 30.

Content - Blood, knives and love. The content is based around the idea that valentines is time of love but with a horror twist. Selected horror films from the past decade are most likely to appeal to a younger audience, these will be researched more in-depth which may help provide content later such as film quotations and imagery.

Mood - Dark, reddened colours, hand-cut, romanticised, twisted, fearful.

A series bloody films for Valentines weekend. For the next brief I have chosen to produce a series of five TV idents for a season of films on a specific channel (not yet specified) over the weekend 13/02. These films will be horror/gore based to target a predominantly male audience produced for channels either FIVE, SciFI or Channel 4 whoms audience would appeal more than family programming from the BBC or ITV.
