Working Title Olivia and I chose to name the title as 'Unknown' reason being why we chose this as our title because the 'stalker' which is shown following Liv,  contacts Liv through text message and as the message appears as 'Unknown'. Genre The chosen genre for our film opening is horror/thriller. Having done some research we concluded that horror and thriller is a very top rated genre in relation to films and are very successful - as shown in the BFI Statistical Yearbook research.  Central Theme Our film will be in relation to the themes of social media stalking and vulnerability.  Synopsis A young girl and a group of friends receive strange messages and images from an unknown number. The girls don't take the messages into much consideration so they ignore the situation. The mystery continues and leads up to all 4 girls going missing one by one. Pitch Our film will be rated 15 because we think this is the suitable age rat...

Olivia and I began filming footage pieces for our film opening titled the "UKNOWN" on the 22nd January and had completed all filming by the 24th January. We then began editing the next following day on the 25th using iMac computers and using the editing software called Adobe Premiere Pro and had finished editing on the 27th.  Firstly, we had transferred all of our footage that we gathered on to the iMac where we then chose selectively which clips to keep and which to delete so it makes the editing stage a lot easier.   After selecting all the clips we wanted, we saved some footage elsewhere in case if needed. We did this just in case once all of our editings were completed and the storyline had something missing we could include those clips or use snippets of those extra clips. We then put the clips into the desired order on the Adobe Premiere Pro timeline. We then made some edits to the clips such as cutting to shorten the clips, adding fonts and colours for our credits...
