sound research

As we are planning on doing a horror film the sound is extremly important and is seen as one of the vital componants in a horror film. For example you would want stuff like hearbeats to build tension and music like playing the organ and building up the speed to build tension. Silence would also need to be used effectivley to build tension, suspense and anxiety.

This sound in perticular can raise a lot ot tension, for example in a chase scene if it built from a soft and low platfrom then rose and rose it would create an uneven atmosphere (a cliche of a horror film) and make the audiences hearts race.

The new script

Opening.
Jasmine grabs Amelia's hand and they slowly make their way out the door. Down the road the conversation is dry and Jasmine trys to make conversation.

Jasmine- So hows your family?
(No responce.)
- id hate to think what your going through, i mean u were so close to your brother and for him to just...

(A tear falls from girls eye. Her friend notices and  stops, grabs her and holds her tight.)

Jasmine-Im so sorry, i really am but if u talk about it itll help...i think (notices her friend shaking)
Babe whats up??


She turns around to see girl looking up the road. Amelia sees a figure standing there watching them, scared she says "I think we should go this way" and decide to take a short cut. As they do they hear sounds of fast footsteps behind them which are getting quicker and quicker. They both run as the man speeds up and begins to run.
Amelia- Oh my god hes following us!
Jasmine- Who....(she looks behind her to see the masked man) oh my god....

FADE TO BLACK - "VICTIM" TITLE SCENE.

Scene 2.

The scene fades in and Amelia is sleeping. What happened before had been a reocurring dream. She wakes up and picks up her phone. She sends a message to jasmine saying "I had the same dream again and somehow i think its related to my brothers accident..wanna meet up later?"

With that she changes her clothes and leaves and as she does a figures is seen watching her.
Heartbeat should be played as soon as the figure is noticable to the audience to raise questions and to change the atmosphere.

scene from viktim

This is a scene from our project which sees the 2 main charactor's (amelia and jasmine) leaving the house due to something upsetting ameila. As the girls are walking down the road jasmine begins to question ameliaon whats wrong but receives no response. A bit furthur down the road they decide to take a short cut down a side road and amelia sees a figure hidden behind a tree. The figure then shows themselves and amelia realises andthey both run away from the charactor.

unforeseen circumstances

due to unforeseen circumstances we have been forced into changing the script slightly from the original by taking out one scene and adding another. I will post the latest script and storyboard in the coming days.

first scene location

We have selected the school field as one of our film locations as it fits well with the story line. This location is also easy to use; there are few restrictions for us to film there. We’ve already started filming in this location - the scene features a girl grieving for her late brother.
