Preliminary Video

Including horror based theme;
As mentioned in a previous post me and my group decided that in order to make our short video more interesting, we would make it tell the jist of a story and focus on a specific genre, horror. We achieved this by using the facilities around us and making the classroom look very dark by closing all the blinds, which is evident in the video. As well as this, we also put alot of the chairs on the table and made them look as though they had been distorted. We did this in order to make the environment have a 'rugged' affect to it and make the audience ask questions, such as 'what is going on?', 'where are these people?' 'why is the room like this?' Futhermore, the actresses, in particular the main girl who starts off by running to the building, looks panicked and uneasy, particularly when she looks behind her whilst running. It helps give the impression that someone/something unwanted is following her. As well as this, towards the end there is an intense moment where the girls look intently into one anothers eyes, the silence in the room combined with its darkness plus the way the camera closes in on each of the characters faces definietly gives the impression of a horror genre.


Outcome:
Doing the preliminary task allowed me to do several things;
1. Get used to using the camera equipment
2. Learn how to get various shots at different angles
3. Do some editing, in order to get used to the editing software
4. Learn how to put a genre with a peace of work effectively
