         This is the 2nd document from the pre-production planning document. This document shows the general information about our film.

This helps give me and my team a general run down about our film and having this on copy also helps give the actors a run down about the film and what character personality's  they need to portray . This document also shows the audience section of the planning document. The audience section gives a run down about what kind of audience that the film is trying to target and certain demographics and psychographics . It also gives a run down about how me and my team are planning to engage our targeted audience and get them to interact with the film.

Pre-Production: Planning Document 1

Image
             This document is from the pre-production planning document. Shown is the production logo and a further description of the logo. While creating the production logo me and my team wanted to make sure to include the horror aspect to the logo considering our film is a horror film.

The B on the logo helps stand for Bengal and that adds most personality and character to the logo.
