Unit 1: Foundation Portfolio- Two minute film opening

We have been given the task of creating our own two minute film opening. So far me and my partner Fran have discussed the genre horror. We plan to base our idea around the films Paranormal Activity, Saw and Human Centipede. We have considered the idea of our characters filming it as a disturbing home movie, (Paranormal Activity) which would consist of a handheld camera been carried around showing our characters movement. In Saw we are shown scenes which include torture, we are also going to incorporate this into our opening. Minimal conversation is also another key idea we have discussed as it can make a scene seem more dramatic and intense. A rough script will be made for our opening scene but we will mainly focus on storyboarding as our genre is more of a visual film rather than a dialogue.
