Planning: Main Task Idea
11:01Idea
For my main task I was thinking of creating a Horror/Thriller film. The idea for this film is that a girl has agreed to dog-sit for a family who has decided to go out for the night. They are new to the village and no one knows them, or what they are like. They have agreed for her to have a few friends over so that she isn't on her own in an unfamiliar environment. She invites a few friends over and they have a few drinks and some food to begin the night. They settle down to watch a movie when one of the girl notices a strange noise coming from above their heads, they pause the film but hear nothing else, they connect the noise to one of the dogs and forget about it.
One of the girls decide to go look for some more drinks and food, after a while the girls start to realize that she has been gone for a long time. The group decide to go look for their friend, they start to call her name as they look round the house. They hear some footsteps coming from the stairs, as they walk around corner they see their friend walking down the stairs in a white gown with pale skin, panting and holding what seems to be a doll in her right hand.
Setting
The film will be set in a house, towards the later hours of the evening when it starts to get dark, so as to help with setting the horror/thriller mood. The house will be darkly light so as the image isn't completely visible, this causes the viewer to be excited and constantly anticipating the next move.
Actors
- Character 1 (Anna Brown)
- Character 2 (Katie Anderson)
- Character 3 (Lucina Brown)
- Character 4 (Katie Cunningham)
- Character 5 (Becca Tomalin)
Shots/Sounds
The shots that we have decided to use for this film will be varied so as to help with the idea of the film being a horror/thriller. We will use close up shots and over the shoulder shots so that the image which will be shown on the film wont be 100% in frame, so as to create a sense of suspicion for the viewer.
We will also use such shots as high angled and low angled so that the image is distorted and not predictable.
Some of the shots will be of doorways with the ambient sound in the background to help set the scene and atmosphere of the film. Not every shot will be visible in some shots the lighting will be low to set a certain mood depending on what will continue on from that particular shot. Each shot will be thought and planned carefully so as not to miss any possible details.
There will be a lot of ambient sounds following each shot to help with the idea of horror/thriller. Sounds are a big factor of helping to create mood and atmosphere in movies and particular horror/thriller films. We want to create a film that has moments full of suspense and thrill, to entertain our audience.
