Short Film Analysis

Curfew 20mins In opening sequence for Curfew, the low key lighting used darkens and blacks out most of the background. This stylistic approach towards setting would be useful in my short film as it would make filming a lot simpler through the choosing of the setting being a black darkened out back drop made to look like an endless void like in the film. In this short sequence the only things that are lit in shot are props the director wants the audience to pay attention to such as the bright red phone or the towel next to the bathtub.

Cinematic Ideas Project 1

Cinematic Ideas We will be using a dark filter over the majority of the short film, this will be used as the low key lighting that comes with it is a convention of the genre we will be using (Horror).

Plot: My short film will be set around the abduction and ransom of my protagonist. This will limit the number of characters in my short film allowing me to focus on developing one character. Most of film  will set place with my character tied to a chair interacting with his captors and struggling to find a way to escape his situation. The ending will consist of the fate of my character being a mystery with the ransom not being paid. The final shot will be a parcel arriving to the house of the protagonist in which it is implied it contains remains of the protagonist. Filming: Makes filming easier Matches style in Curfew Brings focus on character and less on surroundings More professional Props/Related Photos: Burlap sack for head mask Rope for bindings Brief Plot Points/Shot List: Walking towards car and get grabbed, shot from Captors POV then switches and plus out of POV when be...
