Information about the topic that I will be creatingBrimsdown village, borough of Enfield, England

Images of the location

Its based on true events

The topic that I'm going to research about is telling the story of the famous film called ‘The Conjuring 2’

Topic you are going to research?

What is YOUR interest in this subject? What do you already know?

The reason why I'm interested in this idea is that I love horrors and I want this unit to be based around that topic. It is a really good film and its based on true events so that’s what makes it so real and interesting.

I watch loads of TV show episodes to do with spirits. It is called ‘Ghost Adventures’ this is what makes me interested in this subject.

Rationale

What is your reason for choosing this topic?

The reason I'm choosing this kind of topic is because when I was in level one, I made my first movie. Looking back at it now, there could be so many improvements. It was a horror as well because I've always had a passion for film and horror.

PRIMARY RESEARCH – What you can find out?

WHO could you interview / or have a focus group with / make questionnaires?

What will you ask?

I could interview people about their interests of the film and hand out questionnaires about what people believe about ghosts and life after death.

Would it be useful to take photos? Shoot some video? Where?I might recreate 1 minute of the movie ‘Conjuring 2’.

It might be at the location of the house and take images of the house that will help me with my research for the final major project & somewhere indoors where I can recreate the scene that I would like to make.

Are there any places that would be useful to VISIT?

I could visit the location where the scene took place which is in fact the actual house where all the experiences has happened. It’s a very interesting topic and I'm hoping to do really well.

PRIMARY RESEARCH – What you can find out

What BOOKS might be useful? (use the library catalogue)

The kind of books that might be useful for me are books to do with special FX in horrors because it would be new to me and I would love to improve on it for my future projects

Books:

Masters of FX : behind the scenes with geniuses of visual and special effects
