I will be producing a short movie which will hopefully last 3 to 5 minutes. The genre I am basing my story on is ‘horror’. With using the horror convention I am aiming to attract my target audience, 16+. Researches show that the younger generation tend to visit the cinema more often, and a horror genre movie is a popular choice of movies to watch. It may be argued the reason for this is because a horror movie offers more thrill which usually attracts the under 25 audience.
For my short film I would like to adapt to Alfred Hitchcock’s way of directing. Am going to base some of my shots around the shower scene in his film ‘Psycho 1960’. The six famous camera shots have had me thinking about the style of shots and camera movements. As I have also learnt a lot about the ‘French New wave’ it attracted me to also adapt to some of the rules. The movie ‘Breathless 1950’ is a good exam. The unique shots and type of filming created a lot of fresh ideas for me and my short movie. The idea of starting my short movie from the end of the plot was adapted by the movie ‘Memento 2000 directed by Christopher Nolan’. The film was a challenge to watch. It didn’t just include a viewer sitting down and watching the film, it got the audience thinking and linking scenes together.
In my short movie I am going to take the role of a Director, plus screenwriter, editor, camerawomen. My aim is to create a shocked, confused feeling towards the audience at the beginning of the short film. My motto is also to create tension, and a emotional detachment with my main character. A voice over might be recommended just to lead the audience in the right direction.
For my coursework in AS I also produced a horror storyboard. I think I have learned a lot more since then so I can produce a better layout of a story.
Overall my aim is to produce a shocking 5 minute movie, and by achieving the reaction I hope I have reached my goal.
