Scenes 1-6

Scene 1 

  • Non-Diegetic Sound: Serious-ominous song plays throughout the scenes 

  • Diegetic Sound: Footsteps of the protagonist heard 

  • Lighting: dark, gray lighting from the clouds

Scene 2 

  • The viewers are shown flashbacks to the life that the protagonist had, with his loving family. 

  • The color grading of the scene is in an old-grainy look, to show the long time it has been. 

  • Protagonist (Voiceover): Every passing time, every passing day, I always miss them. Their innocent faces, their fragile selves, they didn’t deserve this. 

Scene 3 

  • The scene is then transitioned into the protagonist finding their dead family when arriving to them. 

  • Protagonist (Voiceover): I will never, ever, forget that vision. It’s been stuck in my head for many days and nights.

  • The view is brought back to the present time 

  • Protagonist (Voiceover): Huh, looks like they’ve found me already. It’s alright though, I will avenge them 

  • Protagonist: You’re not slick. I can hear your footsteps as loud as a roar. 

Scene 5 

  • Enemy: Well then, I knew it would take more skill to get the better of you. I guess I’m forced to reveal myself. 

  • The view switches to a shoulder shot and a man approaches the protagonist. 

  • Diegetic-Sound: footsteps of another being entering the scene 

  • Enemy: So, you must be who the boss has been seeking out. Finally, I get to see the loser’s face. 

Scene 6 

  • A two shot of the scene is then shown between the protagonists and enemy. 

  • Enemy: There’s only one thing in the world that is important in my life, and that is to make my boss happy, and Kill You!

Final Genre Decision

Image
After looking over each genre, we decided that, in order for our pitch to be correctly formatted, that the thriller genre would fit. We came to this reason because the thriller genre is almost exactly how we want the opening sequence for our pitch to be like, scenes full of suspense and avid movements. The reason why horror genre wouldn’t work for our pitch was due to the plot having no horror sense at all. The plot of our pitch is greatly action-related and a horror genre wouldn't fit to all the scenes having more movement. Our opening sequence is based on a rivalry, not some upper entity who controls all of the environment around the protagonist, which is why horror genre would also not be a good fit. The action genre was another candidate but had felt as if it were the same type of energy as a horror film rather than an thriller. Throughout each and every action film I had researched on, there were lots of action and movement throughout scenes, however, most were spook-related i...

How To Make A Short Film

Image
My takeaway from the video was: Start by coming up with an idea for your short film. This could be inspired by a personal experience, a news story, or just a concept that you find interesting. Write a script for your short film. This should include dialogue, action, and descriptions of the setting and characters. Gather a team of people to help bring your short film to life. This may include actors, a director, a cinematographer, and other crew members. Create a shot list and storyboard for your short film. This will help you visualize each scene and plan out the camera angles and movements. Set up a schedule for filming and rehearse with your cast and crew. Make sure everyone knows their roles and is prepared for the shoot. Choose locations for filming that are suitable for your script and storyboard. You may need to scout out multiple locations before deciding on the final one. Set up the lighting and camera equipment to achieve the desired look and feel for your short film. Record a...

Genre Research - Horror

Image
  Common Camera Angles: High Angle: These kinds of shots are used in horror films to make the figure or object that is looked down upon seem completely powerless and vulnerable. Close Up: These shots are used to see reactions on the actors face. This shot shows the most emotion from characters and captures detail in an important scene. Panning Shot: These shots connotes movement. This is used very effectively in horror films to make out a character being followed or watched  Tilted Angle: Tilted shots add a lot of attention to shots, and could simplify a supernatural being, for example pushing or moving the camera. Common Film Necessities: Setting: Forests, cemeteries, cabins, and abandoned buildings are just some of the main settings for horror films. Lighting: Dim lighting and silhouettes are used in horror films because it creates tension due to its mysterious and dark atmosphere, controlling how much of the surroundings and characters are revealed.  Props: Chainsaws, ...
