My short film - Brief

My storyline for my horror based short film will be about a group of friends who are wanting to experiment drugs for the first time, they attempt to take the drugs to which they believe is only cocaine however, things take a turn for the worst as one of the characters (Zara) starts to have a reaction to the substance. Zara begins to twitch and growl scaring most of her friends off but leaving one to which Zara rips her face off in a frenzy.

I was inspired by the 'Miami Zombie attack' in May 2012 where a drug user resulted in biting another man's face off. I knew it was still a new and sensitive topic however, I believe my short film also can raise awareness for youngsters against taking drugs especially not knowing what is truly in them.

I have decided to use the effect of a hand held camera as its a very diverse and creating more of a realism impact on the audience creating the sense of panic as the audience are almost reeled into this 'world of horror'.

Films such as 'The Blair Witch Project' inspired me in terms of which shots will be effective for what scene, for example one scene I am hoping to have a close up the victims face, a famous shot from 'The Blair Witch Project' which I have posted about before on this blog.
