PROJECT IDEA

Hey blog, for this post I will be accumulating all my ideas on what i would like to do for my project. I have decided on my main idea and how I would like to put this idea together to create a suspenseful plot. So, without further or due lets jump into it!!

 My idea for my project is first going to have a genre of horror with suspense and danger. What I would like to do for my two minute opening is to have a girl (me) in the woods driving around in a narrow empty street at night to create a sense of  danger. I would like to have her driving around the woods but she keeps coming back to the same spot which develops a sense of confusion and mystery to the whole opening. After when she realizes that somethings wrong in this empty, off vibe looking forest she decides to get out of the car and and start walking into the vacant woods by herself.

 I would like to add a lot of noise and sound effects and have that as my main focus so that every branch that breaks when she takes a step adds danger to the whole video. I would want to include bugs in the background and the wind whistling to add suspense and anxiety. This 2 minute opening will all be based on the girl and her journey through the woods and night alone to add on to the suspenseful tension. 

                                                   (Noise I would like to include)

The camera angles and shots are everything in my opening. The camera movements are the second most important step and focus in my opening since the part of her walking through the woods will be hand held and different POV angles so it seems like someone's there looking at her every move without her knowing. Once she's walking in the woods she will hear something in the bushes and freak out to the point where she's ready to fight. Afterall, it will be a squirrel or a random animal that comes out and she will take a big breath to show relief. 

Then finally, once she turns back around a mystery person will grab her arm and pull her out of the frame while the camera drops to the ground and shows a black screen. The final shot will be a shot of the ground (black screen) and of her screaming and it will end off there to add a little cliffhanger and a "to be continued...". I chose for this setting to be in the woods and at dawn since it puts the idea of the horror genre together and will make it more terrifying which will lead to the audience and viewers wanting more.
