Plot synthesis:
From the above if I was to carry on the opening of the film into a full film I would have it as lots of death start happening in the area and there this scary mysterious girl who people keep seeing and slowly it begins to unravel how the bodies got to being there and what happened to the girl as to why she is going round killing people.
I am looking to work in a two - me and Kate
We have chosen to create a murder mystery. We have chosen this because me and Kate love to watch horror films and films that get you thinking its our favourite type of genre which we have lots of knowledge on existing horror films.
I think our film starts as a linear narrative where the men uncover the dead bodies, however if we were to do the whole film I would include flash backs that tell the audience how the bodies got there so the plot if slowly revealed throughout the film like a murder mystery.
We are looking to use three characters in our film. Two men and a small boy. My dad is going to be a man going about his daily job on a building site and the gets into his digger and as he scoops up the ground he uncovers an arm. We also are going to use one of the science teachers to act in our film. We plan on using to also be going about his daily routine in the lab until he opens the cupboard and a dead body of a boy falls out. We have chosen to use a male as the victim because it goes against a stereotypical horror film where the females is always the victim.
The locations we plan on using are a builders site and a school science lab.
I definitely do not want to give too much away in the opening two minutes, I want something that will leave the audience wanting to find out more.
There will be very little dialogue in my film. As the two men will be on their own and the film will keep cutting between the two they will have no one to speak to the only noise coming from them may be a gasp when they uncover the body, I think no dialogue will make the tension rise and the audience will focus all their attention on the plot and what it happening.
I think to begin with whilst the men are going about their daily busiest it will be quite such as no sounds track but it would be effect to have a noise in the background building up such as a blood rushing noise that's inside the man's head and maybe someone boils the kettle and you can hear it boil. After the bodies are uncovered spooky mysterious music could start playing after and then the opening credits come up leaving it on a cliff hanger, leaving the audience to think what happened next?
I don't think the characters should break the fourth wall because its not as if they know the camera is there the are just going about their daily business. I will also not be using narration in the opening two minutes because the plot is pretty straight forward without an explanation.
POV shots will be good to use in my film so the camera looks as if its what the two men are seeing, this builds up suspense because the audience are seeing exactly what the actor is seeing.
Builder script draft:
Builder: texts on phone
Builder: looks at the pile of mud he was to scoop up
Builder: get into digger
Builder: drives up to pile of mud
Builder: dig up hand
Scientist script draft:
Scientist: put on lab coat
Scientist: walks over to goggles and puts them on
Scientist: Picks up matches and lights Bunsen burner
Scientist: goes over to cupboard to opens it
Scientist: dead body rolls out and he steps back in shock
At the moment we don't want dialogue in our film to build tension.
