Initial Idea For Opening Sequence

Initial idea for opening sequence

Horror

The idea that I had for the opening sequence was to follow the 1970’s decade of The nightmare decade that the story follows a more twisted idea causing nightmares and psychological feelings toward the nightmare.

The sequence will be based around a family that are just moving into a new house, a mum, dad and 2 little girls. The father in the film is a director fir weird supernatural happenings and moves the family into the town as the local castle is supposed to be haunted. The horror also acts partly as a documentary but when Dad is left alone in the castle for secret filming not everything goes as planned. With dad being possessed by a child catching demon, all hell breaks loose for the family.

For this sequence at the beginning we would need 4 actors, and with four of us in the group one can be an actor but also film as well just jumping in, in different shots. The idea of a family in the clip could possibly relate to family mishaps, say they have moved into a dodgy are themselves at some point. It would also follow alongside Todorov’s theory, starting with an equilibrium as they move into the are, the dis-equilibrium where everything goes wrong and the demon appears and the restored equilibrium where the family move back out.

WWW: The fact that you’ve used a lot of detail in planning it, and the fact that you’ve thought about your other group members and the roles they take on

EBI: You elaborated on why you’ve chosen Todorov’s theory J

You have some really strong ideas Lauryn; it’s very detailed so you’ve obviously thought about it a lot. I like the fact that you’ve also included the theory you’re going to use; it shows you are very prepared for doing this task. Nice storyline too, all the characters sound like they’re going to fit in with it, which is good so well done!!
