My Genre

Together, Indya, Katy and i have decided that we will create a film opening based on the genre horror, more specifically, supernatural horror. What i find interesting in following this genre is that you can play around with more effects such as with lighting, music, and camera editing/shots to create a very dark and ominous atmosphere as well as to create an admonitory mood. In relation to logistics, the genre is suitable because the horror can be based in any house of our choice to give the impression that a demonic force exists there. Furthermore, some of the best supernatural horrors usually picture a remote landscape, typically forest areas. These locations are easy to reach since the area in which we all live within is a fairly rural location. I'm really excited to create the opening scene to a horror film because it allows the group and i to make realism of the scarily supernatural occurrences that we can have only fathomed before. It would be also interesting to see how realistic we can make the opening scene. I, for one, have discussed with my group my desire to play the antagonist of the film which is another reason as to why i feel more passionately about creating this opening scene.

As said, there is relative ease in getting an appropriate location to film since we are situated in a rural environment. As with costume and props, i know that i own some things which would be useful for the opening scene already. The same would go for Indya and Katy. If none of us have a required prop we can always buy what is necessary for the opening scene from shops in our local town.
