Final Story Board

StoryBoards

Here are a couple of pictures of our new, updated (final) storyboards which we had to redo due to a change in shots. Hopefully an image of each individual page will be uploaded soon.

Here are a couple of designs for our title design that I have been working on. The title design will be used in all of our final products; teaser trailer, film poster and website. The design will need to be suitable for the film and coincide with the other themes. Our favourite design so far is the Ivy design, connoting constriction and corruption through the references to poisonous ivy.

Paranormal Activity

Last Friday I went and saw the new realease Paranormal Activity, by watching this I was extremely inspired. Oren Peli, a completely unknown director, came literally out of nowhere. He produced, directed and edited this film himself with a budget of just $15,000. The entire film was shot in seven days, with one camera and it took Peli ten months to edit the footage. In my opinion this film wouldn't have been the success it was if they hadn't focused as much as they did on the diegetic sound. The way Peli used sound created and built tension. This is the main thing that creates scares initially. By setting this film in an average suburban home, this film has given many sleepless nights. The normal sounds you hear at night, like pipes creaking will never sound the same after watching this film.
This is definately a film to be inspired by, taking into consideration the use of sound on such a low budget.
