New SlashTag logo



I have decided to change my SlashTag logo as I was not happy with my old one, this one is a lot simpler and is much like a an actual film logo, as most films don't really feature a logo they just have the title of the film in a unique and recognizable font that is related to the production, this is what I have tried to do, the '#' featured in the title represents the social media aspect of the film, but is also in a jagged, slashed style, this represents the slasher aspect of the film

Examples of horror film posters




These are some examples of horror film posters, as you can see the main convention is the image, all of these images on the posters mainly feature just the face. When creating my poster I will be using this, only featuring the face of the protagonist of the film 'Nathan'. I have chosen to do this because it allows the audience to see clearly the main character and focus of the film, it also shows the character in a invading and intimidating way as they appear very close to the viewer which some viewers may find scary

Slash Tag certificate

I have decided that my film should be rated 18 due to the strong violence including blood and gore and also due to the realism of the film that could scare younger viewers
No theme is prohibited at 18. Adults are free to choose their own entertainment provided the material is not illegal or potentially harmful, so it is possible some themes tackled at 18 may be offensive even to some adult viewers

What you would expect to find in an 18?


18 works are for adults and can contain strong issues such as:
  1.  Strong portrayals of sexual activity
  2.  Scenes of sexual violence 
  3.  Frequent strong/very strong language 
  4.  Strong horror 
  5.  Strong blood and gore 
  6.  Real sex blood and gore 
  7.  Discriminatory language and behaviour 

Updated actors agreement and contract



This is the contract I have got everyone involved in my production to sign, I have done this so that the crew and actors understand what they are involved in and are agreeing to participate in any way they can and anytime they can to try and help me with my production. I feel that creating one of these not only puts it simply what I need the crew and actors to agree with but also makes the whole production process a lot more professional and by doing this it has helped make the whole process a lot more serious resulting in a high quality performance from everyone involved
