My propasal

When i found out the breif, i wanted to do a horror film, this was because due to our lack of professionals and professional equipent it would be hard to make an ection, comedy or romantic film that wouldn't look like it was done by ameaturs. Horror has a different style to shooting, You can get away with a shakey camera or bad lighting, as it just adds to the effect.



This is 'The blair witch project', one of hte most famour horror movies of all time, yet the camera is very shakey and the lighting is poor, it looks like an ameatur has made the film, but that just adds to the effect.

My idea for the opening sequence was to have a girl tied up and gagged down in the basement and a man upstairs. it is a common girl victim male capturer theme, and these are the main points to the story.

• you wouldnt see the man upstairs but you can hear his footsteps getting louder and louder. As they do so the girl becomes more and more scared,
• the man then opens the door but the shadow is hiding his face.
• he then slowly walks down the creeking wooden stairs until he reaches the bottom,
• he then walks over to the terrified girl and strokes her hair, muttering 'everybody's been talking about you today precious'.
• She doesn't respond,
• he then walks over to the light switch which is providing minimal light to the room, switches off which causes the room to go pitch black,
• then after 4 seconds of silence
• you hear a deafening sream,
• and then the title of the film appears on screen.

The girl would be tied up and gagged, she will be wearing minimal cloths to indicate she is being held as a sex slave. This is the kind of idea i was going for:

The basement will be dark and scary, there will be tribute on the wall of the girl like the man has been stalking her for a long time. there will also be tools and menacing looking objects to show violence. There will be steps coming down from upstairs.

The man i would use would have slick hair with a suit, he would be creepy looking. This is the type of man i want:

The scene would be a bit like this scene from 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre', the first part where the men are walking down the stairs which are dark, and the shot of the girl looking scared while tied up and gagged.
