In order to better understand financing of our film, I’m going to be looking into a similar type of film to the one we are making called The Lighthouse. The Lighthouse is a horror movie made in 2019, however it is A) set in the 1890’s, so it is close to when our movie isContinue reading “Case Study”

Me and Ethan have finished a working screenplay for our opening, and it went well. We tossed around multiple ideas on each shot before deciding on which ones to use. Keep in mind this is NOT final, everything here is still subject to change, it is just likely what we will be doing. Ethan wroteContinue reading “Opening Screenplay”

To research how to make our opening scene screenplay, I looked at he scripts for Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th. Nightmare On Elm Street: http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/nightmare-on-elm-street.html Friday the 13th: http://www.horrorlair.com/scripts/Friday1.txt Using these two examples as I guide, I will format my screenplay accordingly.

This is for multiple reasons, be it that not many goat man horrorContinue reading “Monster Inspiration: “Do You Copy?””

I know it seems early to come up with a soundtrack, especially considering not even a proper storyboard has been done. However, while browsing around on youtube, Ethan found a few songs that could potentially fit the bill. Two in particular we discussed and are actually considering using. They are “DIO’s Theme darksynth/80s remix” fromContinue reading “Music Ideas”

So, today I am going to analyze its opening to see what I might use in my movie opening. Nightmare on Elm StreetContinue reading “Nightmare on Elm Street Opening Analysis”

The reason I am analyzing the opening scene of Halloween is because it is a horror movie, like the one we are making, and it came out around the 1980’s, which is when our movie is set to take place.

Upon further discussion, Ethan and I have come up with a rough outline of the plot. So basically, there is this forest where people go missing. Could be anything from a random forest to a park, that part doesn’t really matter. What matters is that it is a wooded area. The cold open will setContinue reading “The Plot”
