magazine

I realised that my film would be too hard to produce and film
by myself and find a suitable location so i've decided to switch to making a music magazine instead.

The Intro of the film shows 'Cape Fear' the river, the camera films the water in red, and then shows the daughter of the bowden family 15 year old danielle she talks about the river. The Bowden family have a quite perfect and happy life and Sam bowden the father has a good well payed job as a lawyer. The film turns as Max Cady an ex-con is released from prison after serving 14 years. He plans to get revenge on Sam as he helped  put Cady in Prison.

contined...

After the camera views the bed it zooms into the floor and sees a video camera lying on the floor the video camera's screen goes fuzzy and a video is played showing a girl being murdered. the camera suddenly goes black and then shows an eye the eye looks left and right and heavy breathing noises are made.

not quite sure about this,

Media film notes

The film is about rape and murder, inspired by the film 'Gothika'.

location- shed in field (pond) .. havent found a place yet.

This is what i have so far..

For the first few seconds of the film the camera hovers over water. Starts showing names of actors and the director. then the camera continues over the water and moves quickly through the grass making a loud rustling sound, the camera then focuses on a shed and zooms into shed going through the walls and down a corridor around loads of corners up to create suspense steps viewing photos on the wall of victims the shed is very dark with only white light coming through the small windows . camera snap shot noises are made and distant laughter to show that the victims are very young. When the camera finally gets to the top of the steps it views a hospital like bed with stains of blood on there is also blood on the walls and different tools hanging on hooks, the is one light hanging from the ceiling directly above the bed the light is yellow to create a sickly kind of atmosphere.
