My opening two minutes of my film were shot in the woods. The reason behind it being that i feel the woods have a spooky feel to it and watching many horror films I realized that they were mainly shot in big abandoned houses, hospitals and woods when concerning paranormal activity. My film consist of paranormal activity and so having one of these popular settings in my film i fell will make my film better. As I couldn't film in abandoned houses or a hospital as they are private buildings and in need of permission to film on. I choose to shot my film in the woods as it is a public place and in that sense could make my film that much more freaky as this possessed girl is killing victims without being seen even with all these people walking around.

film title
I used this film title as this is the name of the main character and villain of my film. Elvira means 'mistress of darkness' as so i feel fits in perfectly with the villain of my film as she is possessed and that is a alter-met element of darkness,
I used this style of text because i feel that that its clean and sharp which may keep the viewers on the edge of their seats as the title may suggest that danger is coming within the film. Also i feel the style of this title shows the audience the genre of the film which is horror and it is this reason on why i choose to use this title in my film.
Changes to my film
I had to make a few changes to my film as the original actors i was planning to do my film were unable to do get to the filming. so we altered the story line of my film to compromise around this.
we altered the opening two minutes to one single victim walking home through the woods.
