Initial Ideas - OS

This is our first post on the blog and myself and Nathan are looking into doing a horror film possibly including a chase scene and a scene to make the audience jump out of their seat! We are hoping to create a two minute film introduction to show off what we have learnt in media studies and also introduce are own ideas. We are hoping to possibly include a first person point of view in the chase scene and maybe even a dolly shot. At the moment we have not come up with a concrete idea just yet but we are still discussing a number of options to choose from. We have also looked at the possibility at a cross over film maybe including the thriller genre as we both like the idea of having a fast paced film yet is horrific in parts, possibly including dark shots and noir effects to create suspense and fear.

The woods is a possible location for a film but as many have tried this before, we may look elsewhere for our location. Where i work there is an old warehouse which isnt used often which could be a good location for our film as it is dark yet edgy which may work out in our favour. I am interested in using a lot of mise-en-scene such as ripped clothing and fake blood to create a horrific image for the audience. Furthermore, i would like to explore the option of using sound in a different way, for example rather than having creepy music to set up the chase scene have a slightly more silly music which could be interesting as it would put a different twist on the chase scene.
