**Sligthly recent stalker/Slashers 1998 onwards**

**Stephen C. "Steve" Miner** **Case study of a director** Stephen C. "Steve" Miner was born in June 18, 1951, he currently is an American film and television director who is also a film producer. His most notable master pieces consist of The Friday 13 th trilogy in which he has directed from the years 1980-2009, as from the first movie series he was delegated as a associate producer in 1980, and until this day, Steve Miner is the only director to direct more than one film in the Friday the 13th series. Apart from the movie series of ( Friday 13 th parts 1,2 and 3) he has also contributed to other productions of slash movies, such as Night of the Creeps (1986), House also released in 1986, as well as having produced and directed movies he has also been part of other projects such as television drama series, such as the well known Smallville, which he was appointed as the principal director from the year 2002, then other directing roles such as Miss Match(2003) ,Karen Sisco(2003), Jake 2.0(2004) ,Summerland ( (2004) ,North Shore (2004) as Director for all of the following series. This in my opinion therefore show that the director is able to vary his work from directing movies and also series, and being able to work with different genres such as, Slasher, tv drama, family drama and science fiction. Until now he continues to direct TV series, though he has not made another movie in roughly six years. EXAMPLES OF HIS FILMS

**Film Promo The Pitch** __**Chosen genre:**__ Stalker/slasher __**Tiltle of film:**__ The Calling **OUTLINE OF IDEAS:** __** Tag line of film: **__ Deliver us from evil. For the kingdom and power are yours and forever. __** Basic Plot synopsis: **__ A young nun forges her way into a Catholic school and tries to enforce her extreme religious views on youths who naturally have a modern outlook on life. She feels that it's her duty to "cleanse" the school from all who, in her eyes, do wrong. __**What type of Characterisation :**__ //Sister Gretchen// will be young but will have very traditional old-fashioned views. She will be a happy go lucky ray of sunshine which is why her slightly delusional mindset will be unexpected particularly from a character like her. How she is perceived will juxtapose with her true nature. //Charlie// will be the final girl who doesn't engage in the activities of her friends. She will be strong willed, stubborn and persistent. //A number of youths// will be needed to play the victims of Sister Gretchen. The victims will be stereotypical teenagers who are rebellious with "raging hormones." __**Mise En Scene:**__ There will be religious icons such as the bible, rosary and the cross. also the forged papers will be needed. the locations that will be used are the Chapel within the 6th form, the grotto, the brown circular stairs and classrooms. essentially majority of the scenes shot within the trailer will contain religious objects. Sister Gretchen's costume will be a more current nus habit and uniform for the students around the college. in terms of lighting there will be a fairly amount shot with the uses of natural ambient lighting probably at the beginning of the film and trailer. after sister Gretchen has experienced the pivotal moment of her teaching career and religious response, low chiaroscuro lighting will be used to create a dark atmosphere. __**Cinematography/Phtography:**__ In regards to cinematography, an array of shots will be used at different points of the trailer to connote different things about the temperaments of the characters as well as the events that about to unfold. The shots include: tracking, (extreme) close-up, over the shoulder, dog's eye view & the famous point of view shot. An aerial shot perhaps may be used to signify the presence of God. The pace of the editing will be slow and steady at the beginning but will pick up its pace towards the end of the trailer as quick shots of Sister Gretchen killing her victims are viewed in an erratic manner. An idea for the photography for the magazine poster is to have a single shot close up image of Sister Gretchen's hands in the praying position holding a rosary with blood dripping on the end of it but having her face not seen. Another idea is includes a mid-shot of Sister Gretchen's face with blood dripping out of her eyes or of her crossing her arms behind the back clasping a bloody rosary in her hands. __**Trailer Conventions:**__ (Reinforced) Pace of the editing; it will be fast at times of chaos and slower at the beginning to suggest the impact of the new arrival. The "final girl" is a female. Having a final girl with a unisex name who is considered "pure" by the killer. The killer has a back story. Using P.O.V shots to show the viewpoint of the killer. Using natural/chiaroscuro lighting. Graphic scenes of violence and killings. **(Reinvented)**
 * __Group members:__** Daphen, Elise, Ingrid, Steven.
 * The identity of the killer isn't hidden behind a mask.
 * The killer is a female who doesn't appear to be unstoppable through her statue.
 * The setting isn't in an isolated location.
 * The plot isn't typical.
 * __Unique Selling Point:__** The USP of the trailer is the plot as it's hasn't been done before. **__Film Influences:__** Orphan, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Creep & Priest.
