Prop Ideas


Almost all horror/thriller films, have some blood in some sort of way, either someone being murdered or hurt. In our film, we will need blood for the protagonist when he falls in the mountain biking scene, and also for our antagonist when he takes the protagonist to his bunker. We will need to learn how to make both oxygenated(fresh) blood and deoxygenated(old) blood. We found that the recipe below works best for our purposes on this
·         1/2 cup (118 ml) tropical fruit punch (Hawaiian Fruit Punch® works great.)
·         1 cup (237 ml) corn syrup
·         2 tablespoons (30 ml) of red food coloring
·         1 tablespoon (30 ml) of chocolate syrup
·         2 tablespoons of cornstarch
·         1 tablespoon of powdered cocoa

This blood will be very essential to our film because the blood will be our main prop for the scary aspect of the film. We do not want to use weapons or crazy props for the film, simply because we do not have a budget for these props. We will most likely make some props as we are going to make the fake blood, I believe that this will helps us make our film more personal to us as we created the props we are using for the film.

Antagonist

    In class, my group and I have begun to discuss who are characters are going to be, specifically the protagonist and antagonist.      After doing some research, I have found that there are  4 main types of villains. The evil villain, who has purely malicious intentions; the everyday antagonist, who simply opposes the main character and is not necessarily evil; the immoral entity, such as a totalitarian government; and the internal struggle, which would be an element of the protagonist itself. In our case, we find it best to use the evil villain as our antagonist. It is a horror movie, after all, and nothing strikes fear into the minds of people like a ruthless, senseless, killer.           For his backstory, the antagonist would have come from a rough family, where he dealt with great emotional trauma. The antagonist has a very dark soul and will show no remorse for his victims. The killer will be very mischievo...

Music Analysis/ Ideas

I believe all horror films need some sort of music that keeps the audience on edge, for example every time the audience here’s a certain track playing, the audience knows something bad is going to happen soon because every time you hear the music something bad happens to a character. My group and I decided we are going to make a short little track to use once or twice in our film opening to put the audience on edge. Our inspiration for this is Psycho (1960) in this film there was a soundtrack of ‘stingers’ which were made with violins being slashed very hard to create a eerie noise that would bring up all the nerves and butterflies each time you heard it. This tactic has now been mirrored in countless horror films as this certain noise created by the violins just creates the creepy vibe that makes the hairs on the back of your neck spike up. I plan to record this track on Audacity which is a recording software I have had downloaded to my laptop for a while now, Audacity has all the t...
