Design One Shot- Deb

Sherri wrote this brief description to show our genre of our One Shot Design.

The the genre we have chosen to convey is Horror. Our character will reflect attributes of a stereotypical bad guy in a horror movie yet we have built a twist on our story as the emotion of the character we are conveying is Terror. This is due to our story being that the bad guy is infact scared of something/someone and is infact the victim in this scenario. We will attempt to make the camera the character of intimidation. A sort of Evil vs Evil??
We will be going for a dark, simple style to bring focus to the subject and the subject only. Lighting will be used to help achieve the mood. We will use a back light out of shot and another light on the right side of the subject to achieve depth. Our aim is to make the subject look evil and important yet as the shot continues the audience come to realise this is not the case.
For the actual camera shot we will be using movement. The camera will begin at a long mid shot of the subject. Using tracks, the camera will slowly move forward revealing more detail of the character. When the camera reaches an extreme close up this will reveal terror on the subjects face. The camera will then hook to the left at a faster pace creating a cliff hanger yet revealing that there was a behind camera character involed in the scene.
To go with the simplistic approach the character will be wearing simple clothing yet with a hood up to disguise his identity slighty so not to convey a vulnerable character. The subject will have a slightly distorted look about his face such as scars and bruises. This will inform our audience that our character is not any normal person.mary for our One shot Design just so you can get the idea of our genre.
