During today's lesson we discussed the plot for our thriller and we have decided that we would like to base our thriller opening in the woods. It is going to be a Horror thriller and there will be two main characters, a girl walking home through the woods listening to music and a ghost of a girl dressed in a white dress.
So far we have half a story; A girl, (possibly played by Charlotte) is walking home through the woods and she hears a noise from behind a tree so she turns around and looks but she doesn't see anything so she continues to walk. we have a very definite image in our head for the next part and we don't know if we'll be able to pull it off; through the use of good editing we want to cut extremely quickly to a shot of the ghost looking around the edge of a tree. Then it will cut to Charlotte walking again, putting her headphones in and the music will start to play, so the audience can hear the music rather than the noise of the woods and footsteps. We then want to use an over the shoulder shot of Charlotte showing the earphone in her ear, then use focus pulls to show the ghost stood behind her, an extreme close up of the ghost's eye and then the music in the iPod to go really high pitched or make a loud snap and fizzle out. However we haven't decided how to finish it yet although we do have a couple of ideas in mind.
These are some of the shots we found on the internet that influenced our ideas:
I liked these woods because the trees are twisty and old, creating an eerie atmosphere, and they are also a mile from my house. However they lead to a public park and golf course which means they would be very busy and therefore an impractical location to film in.
This is the type of image we want to create, however we want the hair to be straighter and possibly wet and the sleeves to be less puffy. I do not like the steam because although it is atmospheric it distracts from the girl and is technically impossible for us to recreate.
