My short film will:
- Be a horror, particularly focusing on the thriller and supernatural aspects of the genre as opposed to gore and violence.
- Be filmed with a mixture of handheld and still camera shots (handheld camera to portray the character's POV and still camera to establish the environment and events in the film that perhaps the characters POV would not see.)
- Be influenced by and filmed similar to the style of films such as Paranormal Activity, The Blair Witch Project, and reality shows such as Ghost Hunters and Most Haunted, all of which use handheld cameras to establish POV and all have a sense of realism within the thriller/horror genre.
- Use very little non-diegetic soundtrack to maintain this realism I wish to establish within my film. What little non-diegetic sound I use will probably be to create tension and unnerve the audience.
- Be primarily filmed in a friends' basement as this setting requires little dressing to achieve the desired effect, although I will have to be careful with lighting, as since there is no natural light down there I will have to create my own, but I do not want to use too much lighting as aesthetically I want the scene to still be somewhat dark to maintain the 'dark thriller' aspect of my short film.
