2 Minute Film - Courseworkk

Okay, so for our coursework we have to make a 2 minute clip, being the beginning of a film.
My group decided quite quickly about the genre of our film, it is not horror, but suspense, we realised that horror would be quite difficult to film. So it is suspense instead :)

Firstly, we decided to do our film in the middle of the local woods, and use a sibling or parent to drive a car out there, so we could shoot us with the car. There were problems with this plot, however, as we cannot actually drive, and we would have to film very quickly, as it would get very dark and using our own lighting would look so artificial on video. Filming quickly, we would not have enough time to re-shoot certain bits and get it exactly how we wanted it, so we brainstormed again...

Leah, who is in our group, suggested we watch a clip on youtube of "When A Stranger Calls" The whole group thought this would be a good area to target, and use this clip to help us along the way...

We decided to use a similar storyline, using one of our houses and brothers for props!

So once we had decided the genre of the film and the plot, we were asked to do a synopsis of our 2 minute clip. This is not finished yet, but it will be up here when it is :)
