THRILLLER!!!!!



Today in the wonderful world of media, we got into groups in preparation for producing 2 minutes of our very own films.. hehe excitingggg!!! Im working with some lovely chaps called Danny, Grace and Tom.. im really looking forward to this project as i have a great group and it looks like a fun challenge. We decided that we would like to focus on doing a thriller film because we already have some great ideas for that theme.


Was browsing through youtube, like you do, looking for some ideas and came across a few clips from beginnings of some rather scary movies which i thought might provide some helpful ideas..


On of the films i searched was creep..









I love scary movies but have to say that this film did scare me quite a bit.. it will put you off the underground for life!! In this clip there is a lot of unfocused footage shot by the camera which creates tension and an uneasy atmosphere. The music encorporated in the bakground also contributes to the thriller effect.
After discussing our topic further we decided that we wanted to produce something different and came up with the idea of having a horror bath scene. After nosing through youtube for days and days and days here are some clips we have looked at more closely as they could include some good ideas for our own short film...

I remember watching this the first time round.

Terrifying!

It builds upon our fears of the dark and those who are not so different from us, yet are far removed from our reality by only an arm's length.

The opening two minutes are a good case study for your film project. S
