Brainstorming Ideas

Pitch 1:

Someone watching a news report about a local serial killer. That person is then going to hear a floorboard creak and knocking. 

Pitch 2:

A serial killer is terrorizing a local community. In which your main character is a school student by day and an intrepid detective by night.

Planning Blog: Location, Participants, Health, Schedule

For our project, we chose to shoot at my home or apartment complex. That's because I do not need a lot of space for filming. Janiaya and Janae are all here and we can start shooting. Another good thing about this place is the security included. All of our parents agreed to let us film at this location. My parents also agreed to have an adult supervise us at all times in case something went wrong. When using something that is dangerous if used incorrectly, an adult will always be there in case of emergency. Another safety aspect of the community is that it has 24/7 security, making it safe to shoot after dark if necessary. The condo is gated for extra safety and comfort. Our group is not involved in any after school activities that would make it hard to schedule a filming time. Once we have a date and time that we know will work 100%, we will let you know on the production blog. We're so excited to make this film that it's a priority in all our schedules. Overall, it's e...

  CAMERA ANGLES The main purpose of these angles ore to give a sense of doubt or fear Examples:   Close -ups are used for emotion (reactions)   Panning shots are used for characters being followed, this keeps the audience attention by making them feel what the actor is feeling   Tilted shots used for uneasy feelings   A shift of power happens a lot in mystery movies, way to give that sense is using high/low angles and birds eye view EDITING There are a lot of things that can't be achieved with simply just filming, editing helps add more of that suspense without having the necessary settings Some methods in editing are...   fast and slow paced editing   Quick cuts or montages   Flashbacks or flashforwards   Changing the filtering on the scene for suspense   Cross-cutting NON-DIEGETIC AND DIEGETIC SOUND A terse and unsettling environment can be created by using sound effects like creaking doors,...

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

Image
Short Films: Honestly, this was one of the scariest movies I've seen in a long time no one spoke with no more scenes, this animated world seemed abandoned. Two doll-like creatures with numbers 5 and 9 written on their backs form the backbone of the story. They encounter this mechanical beast that looks like a combination of a dog and a lion, but is made entirely    of metal. It roars violently and has bright green eyes after kidnapping five people, the monster kills him with a green portal device. He became more proud of his personality. The ninth person, the other, ran away and hid in fear. Eventually, we witness Number Nine discovering these random objects and assembling them into a torch. However, Number Nine uses a light bulb to lure the monster into an abandoned cave-like environment, where it becomes stuck on a large wooden plank. Just when all seems hopeless, Number Nine manages to swing himself off the board, find a safe spot, and knock the monster off the board and on...
