Below are the trailers of two of the films I am looking at for inspiration within my film, both visually and technically. I will be adapting some of the camera angles and shots from these films, and introducing some of my own to create a more original film, whilst still trying to maintain the same style and 'vibe' created by the clips below. Both of them also represent the same sub-category of horror/thriller I wish to recreate, in that the film is more psychological, subtle, and paranormal as opposed to violent and in-your-face gory, which I find that, whilst it is shocking and disturbing, does not unnerve the audience as effectively as 'haunting thriller' films seem to do.
Below is the trailer for 'Paranormal Activity'.
Below is the trailer for 'The Blair Witch Project'.
I will focus on both of these films heavily for inspiration as they use techniques which I wish to recreate within my short film, the most notable and obvious being that they both use handheld cameras to portray character's points of view. Whilst my film will use this technique to establish what the main characters are seeing through their handheld camera, I am hoping to make my film somewhat more unique and original by introducing still cameras into the scene as well, to create a mixture of handheld and still shots. This is done to establish the scene as well as see things that the character's POV cameras may not have noticed, creating tension as the audience may know something that the main characters do not.
