LWL what we will include in our final piece- Holly

• The opening paragraph usually comments on the contexts for the film, whether historical, literary or directors previous works.    

I would include a brief overview of our film, with the basic plot points and commenting on the context, our previous works as a production company.

• A summary information of the protagonist or other main focuses of the movie, potentially commenting on their traits, their representation, key aspects and evaluation of the actors performance. 

I would briefly overview our film, the protagonist Isobel and her role, her representation in the film as an innocent child, her scenes trick or treating contrasting with the actions of Kierah, and Kierahs previous performance in our films.

• Key themes, issues and a basic narrative of the plot.

The film commenting on a female villain the stereotypes of an innocent child in exposure to dark events and the basic tone of the plot without mentioning the ending.

• Narrative devices used. 

Unrestricted narration used and the effect it has on the audience.

• Use and adaptation of genre conventions (e.g. Steve Neale's theory of repetition and variation) 

Semantic and syntactic codes used, aka themes of horror and touching on the genre, which is not typical of short films as the expansion of knowledge on a character is something we do not use, which however is typical of a short film, in the time they have to convey the narrative.  Use of female villain which is used more in films recently.

• Reviewers opinion on the film.

Commenting on the negative and the positive points of the film.

• Summary sentence which overall comments on the whole film.

Without giving away the ending, positive short sentence to sum up the movie, commenting on dark horror themes in the entirety.
