Selecting My Genre: Horror

http://theslenderman.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_MarbleHornets_Entries

I'm interested in filming a horror short. I think I prefer horror the most because to me it gives off such an adrenaline rush to watch a horror film and I find it very interesting what people might be or might not be scared of. I think this says about me that I am an adrenaline junkie. I would love to emulate Joseph DeLage and Troy Wagner's work on online found footage series such as Marble Hornets (seen above) and TribeTwelve (not shown). Something about the rawness of found footage films bring out the actor in me and I'm always excited to watch one because I think they're just so interesting.

For the crane shot, I was thinking that the camera starts low at someones feet and goes up to their head that way it gives some suspense to who it may be and it would give an action like feeling; like something is gonna happen. For the slider shot, we could line up a couple people and go from one side to the other side showing all the people. With this happening, it might show a fight or something like that might happen in our film. For the wide aperture shot, I was thinking that we could focus on one or two people and then focus on the background behind them.

Collabrative editing

As I started looking over my film, I have realized there are some special affects that I want to include. For example, in the woods scene I want to have rainfall in order to make the scene seen more ominous. The following clip shows how to stimulate rain fall and I hope to use it in my film. Another editing technique that I want to use is to have blood displayed on the screen when the each of the characters die in order to make the film seem more graphic. During the woods scene I am going to make the environment darker and more ominous Finally, I have decided to create a diegetic sound of footsteps on leaves in order to create a feel of anxiety that the actor feels.

In the past two weeks I have continued to edit my film. After reading the film text book, I have decided to make the running shots shorter in order to have it more suspenseful and seem more exciting. I have also decided to use dramatic music when the monster appears in order to make the scene more suspenseful. One thing I have decided to change is the beginning. In the beginning I originally shot it with one of the characters laying on the bed reading a book. Now, I have decided that it would be better to have a shot the woods, the house, and the sky in general to create an establishing shot and to make everything seem normal. I think this would scare the audience more as the story continues to become more horrific because the audience did not expect the outcome. I think this would also be beneficial because we can have a voice over on these scenes. I will also focus on emphasizing between the differences in image mood and sound mood. I will correlate the two mood and insure that I fin...
