short film

 Sound effects

Foley sound will be used to create the sound of the creature when its eating/crushing the bones when eating, I will use mince meat and celery to replicate the sounds. distorted breathing will be used to create a sound for the creature than is recognisable and people can associate that sound with the creature to create suspense.

Music

Effects

  • I will use a see through wrap on the wall so I can use realistic fake blood to make a splatter without staining my walls.
  • for my final scene outside I don't want to use artificial light as it could take away from the eerie  theme, to make sure there's light I
  •  will film this scene on June 24th as there is a full strawberry moon, these usually glow a lot providing light to match the tone, because its a strawberry moon there will also be a red tint which matches the gore the monster creates, as if the monster and the moon are connected in some way.
  • as the creature watches and chases the characters I will use some POV shots from the creatures perspective, when these shots happen there will be a coloured tint and increased contrast between shades, the creatures noise will also be played to let the viewer know what this shot is, the reason for all of this is to make the creature seem less human, making it more mysterious and more of a threat. 
  • As the creature chases them not in a POV shot, I want it to move fast, I wont be able to speed up the video without making it look obvious, to create the speed effect I will remove every 3rd frame

Upstairs the others jump up and after hearing Nathan scream. They slowly walk down the stairs and hear a strange bone crunching noise and the sound of Nathan being eaten. They shine a torch downstairs and see the creature chewing on Nathans severed hand, it suddenly looks up straight at them)

 Jack

What the hell is that!

Amin

Go, go!

(they run upstairs and the creature follows them, they hold the door shut and the creature is on the other side)

Amin

Jack

I don’t know, we did it right, but even if we didn’t I didn’t believe it was real

(he turns his back to the door to push it and sees the blind slightly open, the creature stops pushing on the door, all dialogue until they go downstairs they need to be struggling against the door as they say It)

Amin

Its stopped shall we look or keep holding it.

(jack doesn’t respond)

Amin

Jack, oi jack, what now

Jack

Didn’t the thing on the thing say the room had to be pitch black.

Amin

Yeah, besides the candles, why what’s wrong

Jack

The blind is open a bit; light was coming through. That’s why the ritual went wrong.

(A shadow appears in front of the blind and it looks like the creature)

Jack

Erm… Amin, AMIN! What’s that

(Amin shines a torch on it and sees it’s the creature)

Amin

Move, it’s in here!

(they open and door and run downstairs, jack runs through a door but it brings him back into the main room and the creature kills him, the third candle goes out and Amin runs outside into the garden, he sees the creature in the window staring at him, Amin looks down the side the side of the house to see a gate (he looks at it as his way to escape) he looks back up but the creature is gone, he looks around and sees it in another window, it then moves from window to window faster and tense music builds up, it stops and stares at Amin for a few seconds then vanishes he sees the creature in the windows reflection stood behind him. He turns around slowly and he’s face to face with the creature, about 8 inches apart. It cuts to a close up shot of the candles and the remaining 2 both go out together.)
