Over the course of the past couple of days I have been thinking about a lot of ideas for the film so I felt it would be a good idea to write them all down and blog about them so I can keep track of them and flesh them out more.
Shadow of the Monster: When I began to think about how we would show the presence and menace of our monster I began to think about how other films do the same thing and I realize that a lot of them utilize shadows to do so. I would like to have the shadow come down upon our actors to represent their power but also not have to actually visually show it.
Shooting with a Camcorder: We thought that maybe we could set the tone of our film as a classic 90s slasher film and we talked about potentially doing a film that took place in the 90s. When we discussed that I thought it would be a cool idea to shoot on a handheld camcorder because that what they would have had at the time. There are obvious down sides to this though, mostly that our shots may not look very clear since we are using old technology.
Car breaking down: While I have been researching I found that a lot of horror films start with a car breaking down or some other tragic event happening in the begging. I think a car breaking down in the woods would be a really cool start to our film. Maybe like a road trip gone wrong or something.
