Our Film Title
Our Film title is called HIJACKED, Me and Hannah chose to call our horror film this because of the plot being based around a kidnapping. The killer is called Jack which is what made us include it into the title. Jack is coloured in red to emphasise the danger of the character relating well to the theme and genre of the film being Horror and it also helps the title stand out more,making it more interesting and memorable to look at.
Funding for CharCol Film
A Production Company is the company responsible for the development and physical production of new media for film, tv and radio.
Here are some examples of different Production Companies...
HIJACKED- Opening Sequence
The film which you are about to see recalls a heartbreak that befell a young woman named Claire Davies and her friends. They never would have thought that their day would end in such a mad and morbid way. For these youths, their tranquil drive was replaced by a tormented nightmare.
The actions of that night would lead to the finding of one of Britain's most grotesque killers know in history.

Scary Photos!
Everyone has something that they are either scared of or have a phobia of. The pictures above make us all gasp when we first see them, but we can't help ourselves from looking! Different audiences have different ideas of fear. The most common things that many people today are scared of are blood,spiders,clowns and ghosts. All of these are a pschological aspect that worry and concern people, making them scared and in some cases laugh at when they are unrealistic with the use of prosthetic make up. Looking at the images above, if we were to see these in a horror film, although we do not want to make eye contact with them we have the desire to look and the audience are really scared when infact they know deep down they know they are actually safe.
