Week 1

Well, now. Back to uni. Our idea has come quite some distance. We've written a few scripts, rough as isaacs beard. I'll be working on this script, and the entire movie, with Liam. We both share a love of suspense, surrealism, bizarre types of stories (think twin peaks and stuff). We originally had no intent of going an atmospheric, suspenseful route of storytelling, but that's just the way that things grew. We originally wanted to do something a little light hearted, whimsical, but yeah.

We intend on building a mysterious, suspenseful, tense and atmospheric film. It's like an exercise in creating moods through sound, imagery, events. Blah!

The film is quite simple. It has a climactic progression. The way it differs is in the method of storytelling, through the main characters diary. This method is also useful in cutting the story down a tad, as we can be more selective of what is shown. It also has other uses.

I imagine the story to be kind of similar to HP Lovecraft type stories (think re-animator, call of cthulhu etc) in the buildup of tension and atmosphere, about a man out of his depth, in a situation out of his control. This is a great scenario to build atmos.
