FINALLY!!

Hey guys, I'm SO HAPPY to be saying this right now. My group and I have finally laid the foundation of what our film opening will be on. Basically, we were stuck in between a drama or horror film, but due to my research (I discussed this in the last post) we finally decided on going with a horror film. We have many ideas, one of them is that we will have some type of serial killer who would play the role of the villain, and a victim who would be involved in something that has to do with the serial killer. Of course there will be a hero as well who would help the victim with the serial killer as well.

Some of the tools we plan on using to help us create a well developed film opening are:

• Outlines
• shooting schedules
• storyboards

But we wont be getting into this yet, that's for next week; for now I am mostly excited on finally deciding and coming up with a plan on how we will pursue our project as a horror film. 

Also, my group and I are also planning on buying lights, clothes, and other types of tools that would help resemble a creepy feeling. For example, we plan on using dark cloths for the villain and low key lights to go along with his scenes.

Another thing we have in mind is finding the right type of suspenseful music to give a creepy vibe to the movie and for this to happen we plan on using killer tracks and YouTube Audio Library.

Lastly, we all agreed on including an establishing shot of a lonely location at the beginning of the opening because this will help develop the tone of the movie, which is scary and creepy. During this scene there will also be fog to inflict more fear into our audience. In order to do this we would need to buy a fog machine and film in a dark area. Overall, the opening will grab the viewers attention and also develop the tone of the film.

This is the type of atmosphere that we are trying to go for (without the trees just the foggy and dark aspect) and this is just a concept so we might end up changing this if it doesn't work out.
