Blog Post # 1: Ideas and Treatment

-

 

  • Why did you select this idea for the video intro? What are some similar references you've used that helped you influence your idea? Include links to those references. 
I selected this idea because I like the idea of making the audience show as much emotion as possible. I selected this idea because I was inspired by the game Five Nights at Freddy's 4 and the show Stranger Things. My film borrowed the idea of a haunted hallway like in the Plushtrap hallway part of the game. And will use the idea of a supernatural dimension like in stranger things. It is also inspired by a webtoon called Freaking Romance, there is a crack in dimensions making it able to view creatures on the other side of the invisible crack. Most of the horror/ thriller film openers that I see start off very casual but hinting at something supernatural or ominous.

The same thing if a movie takes place in a dark scene, it may signify to the audience that the movie is possibly a thriller or a sci-fi genre type film.

Blog Post #2 : Story Board

  What was the process of creating the storyboard like? Did it confirm or refute your initial thoughts for what the video intro would look like? Did you iterate on your idea? Are there any additional things you added, or aspects that you've taken away?  Creating the storyboard was difficult because I was continually very indecisive on how I wanted my story to turn out. It made me think about making a good and captivating storyline that I wanted to introduce to my audience. I decided to show more characters in my film opener, and I thought of a way to show my story without giving away the entire plot. I decided to add some more dialogue in my storyboard and more camera movements to show more than just a terrified protagonist. I removed the amount of stiffness in my camera movement.
