Plot:
The story is about a teenager that has lost somebody close to him and decides that a drink is the only option. Because of the alcohol and depression, the teen decides to visit the grave of the loved one. On leaving the graveyard he is attacked by a hooded stranger who takes him to an abandoned house where a strange doctor is waiting and the torture begins.  
           
Setting:
The film ‘Taken’ was set in 6T2 at Ernulf Academy (Abandoned House) and also in the graveyard and attached alleys located Cemetery Walk, St Neots.


Target Audience:
The film is aimed at males aged 18-30. We chose males because in the stereotypical horror fans research the males were more interested in the horrors than the females. We then chose age 18-30 because of the violence that is involved and also because of the plot. We think that it is more suited towards younger people.






Editorial Script:


Black Screen, Fades into the Production Company Name (unique) lasts 2 seconds. Then fades into the films title (Taken) which jumps across the screen then flashes all in time with the music.


Music Continues- Title screen fades into the opening. Close up of the alcohol on the table. First name appears on screen in a Bradley Hand ITC font (Written By Philip Gatward). Pours drink as the second name appears (Written By David Maddy).


Whilst pouring the drink the third name appears (Filmed and Directed By Seb Hall). Fourth name fades in (Edited by Dalian White). Same camera shot (Close Up).


Fades into the next shot. Panning shot. Camera pans around a grave yard, stops at Dalian (looking at a grave). When we see Dalian standing the next name fades in (Starring Dalian White).


Fades into a Long Shot of Dalian walking down an alley at the side of the garve. Next name appears (Starring David Maddy). Walks away With Prop 7.


David enters the same shot, follows Dalian, Carries Prop 8.


Close up of Dalian being followed, changes to a mid shot as he gets further away. Camera changes to a P.O.V shot from Dalian of David swinging the bat. Sound affect of the swinging and also the Bat hitting.

Fades in to the next shot. A P.O.V shot from Dalian of him waking up. Camera wobbles, and is blury.


Sound affect added of a radio turning on. Music begins (Sailors Windpipe). Affects added to create double visions. Dalian makes Groaning sounds.

Camera then cuts to a mid shot of Philips back. (Can’t see his face). Laughter included so he seems to be enjoying it. Dalian is out of shot so that we can’t see what's happening to him.


Laughter fades out with the camera shot.
