Main Task Ideas

Over the past couple of lessons our group have been coming up with a range of ideas we could use for our main task. We came up with four different routes we could take and these were Vampires, Criminal/Murder, Ghosts or a Crazy Teen Horror.

Vampires
A brief idea we had to do with vampires was to have a vampire who goes on a killing rampage after having his heart broken. So we thought we could use alot of black and red throughout the titles and different images which look quite eerie and scary. We decided shortly after that this idea would resemble "Twilight" too much and it's too typical which would make it boring.

Criminal/Murder
A man who has recently come out of a mental home fully rehabilitated but things start triggering off the hurtful past.

We didnt really think too much about the Ghost or Crazy Teen Horror idea as we already quite liked the idea of the man who comes out of a mental home. We started thinking about a very rough story as we didn't want to get too narrative in the titles but we needed a rough idea so that we knew what sort of images to put in it. We agreed on something along the lines of, a man gets released from a mental home and thinks he's okay but something triggers off a horrific memory that brings everything back and he then becomes an insane man on the loose who starts killing people. We also though that it would be good if he had bad OCDs because it would make it quite twisted if everything around him and in his house was overly organised perfectly.

With this idea in mind we discussed a vague idea of what we could sort of images we could use during the opening titles. Having very jolty camera work was an idea that we liked alot because we think that it would make it look really disorientated and weird which would partly reflect the main characters mind. We also decided of having alot of weird images flashing up really quickly throughout like creepy shadows, sharp objects, someone struggling in a straight jacket and maybe someone restrained to a table. We thought of these because we thought it would get across the genre of the film quite well. For the main colours we thought we might use white and red because the white would symbolise something like a clean sheet for the man and also like a padded cell which are pure white. The red will obviously symbolise anger and blood.
