Initial Ideas


When thinking about ideas for our horror film, I created a spider-diagram and wrote down all my ideas. Then, we all got together as a group and shared our thoughts, then created another spider-diagram of our combined idea.

We all seemed to come up with roughly the same sort of idea, which was easier when it came to choosing our final idea.

We are creating the opening titles for a horror film, so I wanted something that was going to grip the audience within the first few minutes, so they are more inclined to carry on watching it. We all came up with the idea of having the first few seconds as a black screen with audio rather than film. The audio will be of a women screaming and breathing heavily in what sounds like a phone. Then, we will have quick flashes of different characters in various situations. For example, they will only be short, so someone looking through a window when it’s dark outside. I wanted to create more of a physiological film, rather than a jumpy/scary film. This is because it makes the audience relate to what happens because they will be everyday things that scare people.

Also, I want to film it in quite a quiet and derelict to set the scene of someone being all alone. As the music gets quicker, so will the flashes and then eventually it will stop and 'Enigma' will flash up on the screen followed by a Childs voice saying "excuse me".
