Hey everyone, Adrian here. Big update on our A Level campaign. We’re now deep into planning for the final 5-minute film and the connected social media campaign, and our ideas have started shifting since the start of the year. Originally, we were leaning heavily toward creating a horror short film, building off the tone and style of Slaughter…
Hey everyone, Adrian here. For my media regulation case study, I looked at the 2023 film Five Nights at Freddy’s. It’s based on the popular horror game and was heavily discussed because of its violent and disturbing themes aimed at a teen audience. How It Was Regulated The film was rated 15 by the BBFC in the UK…
Hey everyone, Adrian here. After all the planning, filming, and editing… Slaughter Shed’s exclusive 1 minute clip is officially out. We’ve just dropped the exclusive postcard and Instagram story mockup. The postcard features Jerry, our masked killer, captured mid-stalk with a gritty texture that matches the film’s tone. While we originally planned to include even more easter eggs and props,…
Hey everyone, Adrian here. I just finished editing the 1 minute film, and for something shot all in one day, it actually turned out great.

Everything’s ready in the garage set. What’s New: Disclaimer: Everything shown in this film is 100% fake and school appropriate. All weapons and props are…
Hey everyone, Adrian here. For our A Level preliminary task, we picked the 1 minute horror film over the trailer, doc, or music video options. This gives us more control over story and visuals while keeping it short. Plot The killer walks into a dark garage, grabs a wrench, and approaches a blindfolded girl. There’s a…
Hey everyone, Adrian here. After reviewing my original case study on Blumhouse Productions, I realized that for A Level, we’re expected to focus more on the regulatory side of media institutions. So, I decided to add a whole new section specifically covering regulations for Five Nights at Freddy’s (2023). Since I’ll probably be using this same case study again this year, adding…
Hey everyone, Adrian here with another update! As we begin locking in our plans for this year’s A Level final project, I’ve reviewed several A Level student portfolios and seeing what others have successfully produced, we’ve narrowed our final project options to two solid ideas: Short Film Package This is one of our top contenders. It would…
