FINALLY! Today we had our group meeting and although we are all aware that allot of work needs to be done we have all come up with with out final idea. We decided to mix up Dee's ideas with Daniel's and have a mixed genre, mainly Horror but sub-genre it with thriller. We could not come to a agreement of whose idea was better to have multiple ideas/mix and match. I drew out a plan for our team so we know roughly what we want to include in the different sections of our opening clip. We wrote that maybe in the beginning we could have an establishing shot of the house outside in the night-time to show where all the horror is going to take place or maybe even an empty road, or even Daniel's idea of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3bRwB5fDFo lapses in light to show the whole area and city. In our middle most wanted to involve the main killing scene but some argued that they wanted that in the beginning with visions of body decompositions in the middle to make it different to other horrors/thrillers/Goore. We thought if we could come up with every day items to make them abnormal and scary this can contradict and play around with audiences emotions, Lord Of The Rings does this allot with the ring being a sacred treasurement to them, in this case maybe use a plate instead of a knife and enrol the 'least expected' not only does this bring up questions but also keeps the viewers intrigued and shocked. Daniel and I really like Dee's idea of involving a radio and Daniel said that he can do more research on that and find out if his Granddad will let us borrow his. We had other suggestions that were out the box, i thought of having it based on Halloween Day this would be perfect and we could inspire from other films. Daniel planned that maybe we can record others wile they trick or treat but I pointed out that no one comes around my area to enjoy the events which resulted to me and Daniel coming up with the same realization. We are definite with our setting in Dee's house and can't wait to get cracking.

What role would the radio play? And what is it about Dee's house that makes it a good location for a horror film?
ReplyDeletethe radio is there to create static which shows that the female character has no help coming towards her therefore making her even more vulnerable which makes the audience want to help. The idea behind this is to get the audience eye's glued to the screen. Dee's house is an ideal location because it is very quiet during nighttime when we want to film our scenes. Also there is an allyway before you get to her house which i think used perfectly, will make a great production because of the spooky effect it shows.
