Research Post 10 - Outlining a Script

 Welcome back, Everyone!  Now that we've got all the research out of the way, We have to start outlining the script! Before, I know we wanted to go for a Sci-Fi and Supernatural mix, But lets try to refine that further, so we can make a script to submit for planning!

Now, every single Horror-Thriller needs a villain; So what should the villain for my opening be? Well, the most important part of any Horror Movie Villain is mystique, dramatic flair, and aura. The villain NEEDS to be threatening; and these three aspects are the biggest pieces of that puzzle. Unfortunately, due to our position, we're not exactly able to create a big, threatening villain with a lot of makeup; nor is the advanced setplay or costumes of a major studio readily available to us, so instead, we'll have to make use of camerawork

In order to hide our villain and make him menacing we'll have it be that he's small - possibly a doll, or some sort of other miniature monster, allowing us to shoot from angles from the monster's point of view - under the table, inside of a cabinet, or even from directly above a victim. In that way, we can create plenty of suspense without actually even having to show the villain of the charade we're putting on for the Audience.

Additionally, since openings as we are doing are not usually accompanied by dialogue, sound will take a backseat - instead, lighting will be the pivotal to enhance the menace. As the main focus of the scene, the actor, advances deeper into the set, we'll need to increase the amount of shadows - Light needs to come from a very specific angle in order to obscure much of the room. The concentration of the color purple, as well, would be important to establish. As many other movies I've researched beforehand have done, I'd like to make the color purple a signifier for paranormal events and crossing over to the other world, or death. To do so, as the scene progresses, I'd like to make the tint more purple-ish, as well as have certain objects, like the areas under tables or behind boxes that the villain would hide in.
