Starting the Process
This year in AS Media Studies has gone by so fast I honestly can’t believe it, in two months my final project is due which will be a film opening trailer. As I’ve mentioned before in many of my other posts the genre which we will be doing for this trailer will be Horror. Over the past month or so I’ve been doing research on all the codes and conventions which are usually seen in Horror movies. I think I’ve finally been able to gather enough evidence to get a 360 of how Horror movies are and how I can do mine. My partner and I agreed that we should start to get the ball rolling and to get the basic steps done with. Currently me and my partner haven’t done much but in this post I will discuss some of the ideas that me and my partner have.
Some Ideas
One thing that me and my partner immediately knew was what our roles were going to be in the movie. We both agreed that my partner would be the main actor in the film, and that I would be in charge of all the filming and camera work. I know there’s many more roles but for now that’s what we’ve figured out in the acting area. I chose my partner to be the main actor because I find that he is very passionate when to comes to film and also acting. Location wise I’m not sure where we should film, I’m trying to find a location that is dark, isolated, gives an eerie feeling, etc.
Some places I was thinking of was a forest, maybe a big house that’s secluded somewhere along those lines. Script wise me and my partner have not started to write our script yet due to the fact that we still haven’t really made a story line because we are still trying to mold our vision of a horror movie. Over the next couple of weeks my partner and I will continue to build up everything for this movie, but as mentioned in the beginning of this post we’re still in the starting process and in the building blocks. It just makes me very excited that we’re finally starting our final project and that I can have all the knowledge which I learned from research and my As Media Studies.
