Initial Idea For Main Task (2)

We then came up with a new idea which was a horror combined with comedy. The main reason we came up with this was the inspiration of the 'Scary Move' film. As a group we decided on different roles we could play. We decided we would have 3 characters sat on a sofa having a fun film night, with popcorn and sweets. Then two characters decide to go and get some pillows and blankets from upstairs, while the last character on the sofa receives a frightening text. But the frightening text said 'I am going to grill you', instead of 'kill' creating comedy. The camera then changes from inside the house, to the 'scary' character outside watching in. This character would be dressed in a penguin outfit which would also create the comedy for the audience as a penguin outfit isn't exactly scary. We decided not to do this idea in the end because after watching past work which combined comedy and horror, we felt these were the weaker videos, and we also felt it would be too heavily dialogued.

We felt this was still funny and would also allow us to experiment with mise en scene. We also felt we could get many different camera angles out of this. The film 'Scary Movie 3' is presented about scary events that happen in a house, with humor involved. But we felt we couldn't get the comedy and horror effectively into the piece in the two minutes available, this finalized our decision to change genre.
