Resit: Initial Ideas

For our resit we have decided to once again do a horror piece. This is due to our experiences before and now we know how to improve on them. Last year as a group we liked the idea of not revealing the masked figure. We would like to change the ideas by introducing the character when he is younger to show how he turned into a killer. We also wanted to have more of the conventions of horror in our piece so it could easily be recognised as a horror production.

As a group we came together and discussed our individual story lines and came up with other possible story lines and how we could film them to the best of our ability. We have chosen a variety of shots and techniques to give the feeling of fear and tension.

Initial idea:

We want to have a young adult, aged around 15 years old to be walking through a field when he sees something that he is scared of. A close up shot would be used to show the fear on the characters face. He would be seen to run away in fear.

This would be progress to our inside shot of the character when he is older, aged around 19/20. The audience will kept in the dark as to what he has done but the piece will have connotations of death with blood around the shot. The character will calmly be doing a regular task such as cleaning up, but surrounded with blood which will show a contrast between the things that would normally be happening at his age and what he is involved with.

The character would then put on a mask or something to hide his identity and leave the shot. The titles would then come up after this.
