until next time....bye!

My Movie planning - More Inspiration 'Pretty Little Liars' (tv series)

Dear Readers,

So recently i have watched a series called 'Pretty Little Liars' on Netflix and it was filled with typical Thriller aspects but yet was also filled with many ideas that i could incorporate into my movie...

This scene shows a killer in a house but also a women receiving a Jack in the box. However what you don't see are the too events are linked but this scene does not show this. But what it does show is some very good shots off the knife in his hand and of the Jack in the box in her hands.

These could influence my my shots when my killer has a knife, also when my girl receives a Jack in the box. Bit coincidental but i can assure you i did not copy or steal this idea from here or anywhere.

Until next time... bye!

My Movie planning - My Second Developed Storyline/ Treatment

Dear Readers,

I've had another revelation to do with my movie... The Jack killings.. instead being on the TV..
- should be in a newspaper
       then
- When the foreshadowing of the Jack in the box at the door arrives
       it will
- Connect jack calling - so to know he's here when he circles the article is a thick red marker. Maybe with a message or something like "I'm Back"

I have so many ideas... but as i narrow them down and watch other thrillers i am developing my story even more to make sure i get the best of thrillers, because a Thriller is hard to make scary in 2 minutes! The press below shows the changes in RED. 



until next time... bye!

My Movie planning - New inspiration 'Scream' (tv series)

Dear Readers,

So recently i have watched a series called 'Scream' on Netflix and it was filled with typical Thriller aspects but yet was also filled with many ideas that i could incorporate into my movie...

However he is a type of inspiration that is defiantly for my movie, as the whole series starts with the opening of the nursery rhyme "Daisy... daisy..." This foreshadows the use of a character called Daisy and a crazy killer (i'm half crazy...) I like the use of this because its creepy and sets the series up in one song.

The series also so glimpse of other inspirations such as this clip below shows a door scene that i was going to incorporate in mine... However it's also made me think what if i put a jack in the box outside the door? Just like Emma discovers a box outside her door... plus the use of the doorbell ringing and and no one there indicates something scary!

This series is extremely good... it's got history, it;s got murder, creepy masks, creepy text messages etc... My main inspiration now believes to be this!

Until next time...bye!

My Movie planning - Trialling sounds and videos 3

Dear Readers,

With my new developed storyline the title needed to change firstly on my trial runs. Plus also with my new found knowledge of sounds and how to create/listen out for sounds i added them too my trialling video:

If you listen out you can here the foxes in the background just to bring on the sub conscience feeling of outside and loneliness (just like in my interviews of what expected one lady mentioned a lonely environment). Also the Nursery Rhyme has been modified to sound creepier.

This is just a developing piece as i add/ change/ modify/ re-adjust clips or sounds to create my perfect Thriller.

Until Next time... bye!

My Movie planning - Making Sounds

Dear Readers,

SOUNDS are of huge importance to a thriller but they all have to be non-plagurised. So i had a go about making my own sounds, just by listening in everyday society to things around me.

Here are a couple:

So first up is a train, i never noticed before but a train can make the weirdest sounds... screeches, drones, placing baselines... all sounds needed for a great thriller to be jumpy!  The first sound video are weird sorts of sounds almost E.T. with a low drone. Then there is the second video, sounds slightly different with more of a pace but still very interesting. See i plan on using the pacing baseline behind this video my movie to allow tension to be built up over time also the screeching of this video in a thriller allows the pace to be subtle then a big unexpected screech frightens the view causing the jump.


Next i recorded owls, they made an echoy creepy sound. There sounds made my spine shiver as it add the element of establishment plus also that element of nighttime. I can add this at the beginning to set the scene of night time.

Sound is so important at the beginning because if you have ever tried watching a film with no sound you want to switch it off because it's boring. So sound at the beginning is the deciding factor between
whether your movie is switched off or not!

Something prominent about my movie is the fact i have nursery rhyme. Nursery rhymes are often associated with children and if sung in a specific way can be creepy as if something bad is going to happen...



Of course here i've put a voice effect over my voice but i sang it in a strange key so it would be even creepier when played over the top of a video. Plus with this video i've added a drone behind the sining to add creepiness as well. I took this idea off the opening of 'Paranormal Activity'.
Here is a screenshot of the voice effect on Movie Maker you can add:

until next time...bye!

My Movie planning - My developed Storyline/Treatment

Dear Readers,

I changed my storyline which is explained on the prezi, because i developed my idea it became unachievable for my budget and timings.



I have retracted a bit in the storyline development presented in an earlier blog as i've gone back to the unknown person in the house.
However here is a new storyline development from my old idea to more achievable idea still including the idea of Jack.

New storyline development from Lizzy Marshall

I defiantly prefer my new storyline because it adds depth to my movie plus it's more realistic.

Until next time... bye!
