Hello, my name is Antonella, and I am a Junior at West Broward High School. For this film opener, I will be working with Melanie and Maheen. We will be creating a short film opener in the horror genre.
Our project will be in the horror genre, with an emphasis on the sub-genre paranormal. We chose this sub-genre because it focuses more on suspense and tension rather than just violence. This will work well for the film opener because the mystery can be developed through the sound and editing. The viewers of paranormal films often wonder if what is happening in the film is true, so we want to add that to our film opener. The target audience for our film is teenagers and young adults of any gender from ages 14 to about 22. This film will appeal to viewers who enjoy watching suspenseful stories and paranormal stuff. A social issue explored in our film opener can be the fear of the unknown. The scenes in the forest can create a lot of tension for the audience because they are unaware of what's out there.
To create our film opening, we plan to use our school's camera, which we will rent out, and a tripod to film. For editing, we will use Premiere Pro and add sound effects to create a more tense atmosphere. I want to learn how to perfect filming camera framing, too. I also want to learn how to use different sound effects to imply danger.
Our basic plan for this project involves two characters, one boy and one girl. The girl will receive a mysterious note anonymously, which will be unsettling. She will be made to walk into a forest. By the end of the opening, it will be obvious that the girl is in danger, and it will leave the audience with unanswered questions. To prepare, I will experiment with different lighting and sounds and analyze paranormal horror film openings to understand more of the conventions.
