We have been given the task of either creating a short film, or creating a longer film and taking a 2 minute section from it. We have decided to create a short film, this is because we think that it will be easier to get the film to make sense to the audience.
On Thursday 13th October our group began to come up with ideas for films. We came up with an idea to do a cloverfield type film where the action is being filmed through a basic camcorder. This was going to invovle an ex-army sgt who got kicked out for telling everyone about the secret goverment work. It starts off with an unconcious camerman who wakes up to an apocalypic rainham. And he then meets the sgt and they have to survive this outbreak. Thats the basic idea for it, but once we developed it we began to realise that it would be to complicated to film within a 2 minute time period, so we came up with ideas for other films.
Thats when we came up with abnormal activity which will be a 5 minute short film. This is a knock off film from the major hit "Paranormal Activity". Its got the basic idea of a haunted house possed by a poltergeist. This invovles two friends who are sleeping round at each others houses. Furthermore it invovles one of the friends trying to scare the other with fake stories about how haunted his house is when it actually becomes a reality and then they begin to realise it is by the shutting doors, moving pillows and sudden bangs and crashes around the household.
