Research and Planning: Proposals/Meeting 2

First Idea:
Teenage girl goes in for a operation on eyes to stop her from being blind. When it goes successfully she starts seeing the dead and the unreal.

Mise-En-Scene:
  • Use the human biology room for the hospital. 
  • Modern day. 
  • Spot light at beginning on the patient. 
  • The home later on needs to be modern day. Maybe in bedroom. 
  • This is where the lighting turns low key.
Editing:
  • Jump cuts when the action starts to occur.
  • Fade to white at the end of shooting the operating theatre. 
  • Dissolves
  • Straight cuts
Sound:
  • Noise of the heart monitor
  • Heavy breathing
  • Eerie score
  • Screams maybe
Cinematography:
  • High angles of the girl to show the vunerability
  • Pan of the rooms shown. 
  • Extreme close up of eyes. 
  • Close ups of victim and of the villain. 
  • Maybe some over the shoulder shots. 
Second Idea:
An old church has been knocked down and a theatre has been built over the top of it but strange things start to occur and people start to go missing.

Mise En Scene:
  • Old church
  • Theatre
  • Low key lighting throughout most.
  • Modern day
  • Props would consist of things from the play that is taking place.
Editing:
  • Jump cuts when people start to disappear in the theatre. 
  • Straight cuts
  • Dissolves to make it run smoothly.
Sound:
  • Creaking doors
  • Wind blowing
  • Screaming
  • Heavy Breathing
  • Eerie noises
Cinematography:
  • Pan of church - wide shot. Could use this as poster picture. 
  • Handheld filming
  • Close ups of victims, never see villain. 
  • Face level, makes the audience feel more involved. 
  • High angles.
Third Idea
Group of teenagers are together at their house because parents are away and there's a new girl which they don't like because she seems different. They invite her anyway. They make her go through many different ordeals during the night and one back fires and she ends up becoming possessed and the tables turn.

Mise-En-Scene:
  • Family home. Modern day. Typical teenage girls, general clothing.
  • Props, anything around the house. Maybe some spirit books, book of death etc.
  • Low key lighting. Torches.
Editing:
  • Fast editing. 
  • Jump cuts after she becomes possessed. 
  • Dissolves.
  • Straight cuts.
Sound: 
  • Laughing and giggling. 
  • Screams
  • Banging, doors slamming
  • Distorted noises.
Cinematography:
  •  Pans the room maybe a crab as well.
  • Extreme close ups on faces. 
  • Tight framing. 
  • High angles and low angles later on to show superior character. 
  • Wide shot of the group.

  1. I really like these ideas, more so one and two, but particularly the first. The great amount of detail in the description means that I can see the story playing out in my mind, and it's looking good! I'm not a great fan of horror films, but even I'll admit this is something that if presented right, I'd look forward to going to the cinema to see!

    Whichever you choose to do, I look forward to seeing it develop! Good luck :)

  2. I like these ideas. The first trailer idea is the best in my eyes because it sound like it would be scary and a good film to watch. The second idea i think is lacking something as it seem a bit to cliche and seem like the story would not be very interesting.

  3. I really like all three ideas, I'm swaying towards one as its an original idea and think will work well, however I like the 3rd idea too as it would work well for a specific t/a too.

  4. I think all three ideas are good but I prefer number two, I think this is because it is unusual and not seen or heard a film like it :)

  5. I really like all three of the ideas you've come up with, however No. 1 sounds the best I think its original compared other films where people see the dead cos they've died for a couple of seconds. Good luck with this one! :D
