The Main Task

For my main task I have to research, plan, film and edit the titles and opening of a new fiction thriller film, to last a maximum of two minutes. (All video and audio material must be original, and produced by me, with the exception of music or audio effects from a copyright-free source).

I am are taking ideas from a couple of well known thrillers to compose my opening. These are: The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity and The Others. My opening will establish the genre (a supernatural thriller), characters and setting. I will be shooting on flip video cameras and using The Beacon School as my location. During post-production I will be using the software ShowBiz to create the final footage.

I will be basing my opening on the style of two exsisting films; the narrative of The Blair Witch Project and the filming style of Paranormal Activity.
