Week 4 - Filming Ideas

Since I am filming my movie opening on my own, the number of actors, costumes, and other such variables will be limited. It will likely be only me in the opening, as my two brothers understandably object to the idea of being filmed. I will be wearing plain clothing, with no real 'costume' in mind. The idea of my opening is a horror movie that centers around a supernatural effect of exposure to the Sun on human behavior and physiology. As such, it will be done on a Sunday in the middle of the day (around 3 o' clock or so) and ideally on a clear day where the Sun can be clearly seen. I want to film it as a 'found footage' type opening, with a major character speaking and acting while holding the camera to himself. There will also be shots of the Sun itself (occluded by clouds, of course) and I will use video-editing software to create an effect of the sky becoming more and more red as the opening continues. There is place outside my apartment complex with a great view of the Sun during the day, which is where I will be filming it. I have not yet written my script, but it will be somewhat short.
