I left off my last post talking about setting, tone, and characters. As I mentioned. Our main character will be in her house alone at night. She will not be completely alone though, because she will have her dog with her as well. In this film we want to build up suspense as much as we possibly can, so the viewers are glued to the screen and on the edge of their seats. Our main character will be going about her daily life, doing normal activities around the house like watching a movie and getting ready for bed. We plan to make it clear that it is very late at night, perhaps by showing the clock or something. It is the time of night where you would not expect people to be out. Suddenly, our main characters dog starts barking at the door, as if someone was outside. This would be odd to the viewer considering how late it is. Our main character will slowly walk over to the door to check. We decided to add erie music as she is approaching it to build up more suspense. When she opens it, there is no one there.
After she checks, the erie music will go away. We hope to let the viewers guard down by doing this. Our main character will then leave the room so the dog is out of sight while it continues to bark in the background. She thinks nothing of it, but then the dog stops barking, when she goes and checks on it, she discovers something horrifying. Maria and I plan to begin shooting for this film sometime next week, and gather all possible materials we may need as well.
