Before i start with my coursework i will be watching a variety of different horror films to see what the conventions are for the intros, this will be things like camera angles, music, colour correction, mood and character building.
I need to plan what will actually be happening in the shots, i have a few ideas for some stories and how they could develop into a full film. i also need to find 2-3 people who want to be in the intro so i might have to ask around and see if anyone i'm good friends with is a good actor/actress. After i have chosen the cast, i need to find a location, i live by a railway surrounded by fields with a very old bridge crossing the track, this can look very creepy at night so this could be the perfect place for an intro. I also need to think about post production, i will most likely use sony vegas 8.0 to edit the clips and add some colour correction to the clips to get the right effect.
For a cast the only person i have in mind is my friend ellie, the reason for this is because in my film i want one of the girls in the white dresses because they always add some creepy film to any shot, and because she is really skinny as well she would be perfect for the role.
production schedule(will edit in later)
My contingency plan will be, in case of any bad weather i will not be able to shoot, the only weather tat is suitable for my shots is at night time when it is just getting dark and possibly a bit of rain to add effect, but if it is any different the shooting will have to be re-scheduled.
The locations i will most likely be the train track by my house with the bridge and possible other areas around where i live, i shall have a look around this weekend (29th january) for other possible locations for good shots.
For my technology i will be using the schools camcorders to film all of my shots, unless i can find a HD one to borrow off of a friend of family member. To edit the video after the shots have been taken i will be using sony vegas pro 8.0, the reason for this is because i have used this program a lot so i feel comfortable using it and all its features.
