Location photos (in college)

The first 4 photos are pictures of the room which is going to be the killer's planning room. This is where the killer played by me Jake Fleetwood will sit and ring DCI Mark Wayne played by Michael Eastwood. The computers will have picture of the next victim, and other screens will have information on related to the up coming murder.One the 3rd picture (the one of the notice board) they'll be photos of people the killers previously murdered and maps with circles around certain locations.

These 2 pictures are photos of the room that will be Mark Wayne's office. in this office we will film the scene where mark will be talking to the killer over the phone. We will be placing files/folder on the desk. this is to show that the room is the cops office.

Arrow Films Distribution company

Arrow Films

We decided that we would like Arrow films as our distribution company as they are one of the leading independent british distribution company of world cinema and horror. And also Arrow Films has pioneered some of the best directors from around the world, E.G. Denys Arcand, Jules Dassin, and Wim Wenders. They have done a range of genera's of films which include horror and crime. This is good for our film as we are doing a phycological horror film with aspects of crime. As they distribute a lot of films like this they would have a elution for this kind of film which would benefit our film.

Second Location Photos

This will be one of the main locations and will be where the main killing of our production will take place. We will see the victim enter the kitchen and then make a drink and will be where the killer then enters and poisons the victims drink

















This will be the entrance that the Killer will use to gain entry to the Victims home where he will go on to kill the victim in.
