After working with the camera's this week, I've had a change of mind about the direction i was hoping to go in. Not too many drastic changes but a little alteration to the story line.
I have 2 new ideas on how i intend to shoot the trailer.
1.
Instead of a couple, I'm going to have 2 best friends that are getting stalked together.
I will also use a mix of camera's, the professional camera's from college and a hand held camera, shot from one of the friends point of view.
I thought about this after understanding the difficulties there would be in lighting and production on a very low budget. I would prefer to shoot most of the film, including the trailer, in a hand held camera for the idea i am going for, it would be different to see a stalker film through the eyes of the person getting stalked.
Most of the footage will revolve around the 2 friends who are feeling spooked by unknown Foley sounds which end up being the stalker. Obviously, ill need the professional camera to fill in the missing part of the story, such as the stalkers feet and heavy breathing.
2.
Instead of the previous shooting ideas, i would use the same principles of the 2 different camera's, but the hand held one would be from the stalkers point of view that they would watch back on their computer. I would prefer to use this idea but will post a poll to see which proves more popular amongst the audience.
The change that will stay the same is 2 best friends, not a boyfriend/girlfriend scenario like the majority of thrillers similar to this.
I will be posting a story board on soon.
