Planning - What is to be Expected for my Film Opening?

     What's up everyone, welcome back to another blog post with me. Today, I want to talk about a much more different topic than my last blog posts. In particular, I want to explain what I have for my plans for creating my film opening with the subgenre of psychological horror.

    Starting off, there's obviously the title. Now, for what I want as my title that's still little experimental and I really need to work on what it should be for sure. I've had some ideas as to what it could be; somewhere along the lines of "little lamb." As of right now, this might be the name I would choose but I would have to discuss it with my partner and see what else we can come up with. I do however, want the name to be simplistic while still maintaining the ideal title of a psychological horror film so that's perceived that way. This can be see with the movie IT where the title is only one word and gives a mysterious tone to intrigue the audience into watching the film since they would want to know who is this "IT."

    Next, let's talk about the script writing. For this in particular it's still very early to tell what can and will be on the script but for sure it should start with a very vague and dark tone to set the mood for a psychological horror. It could start off something like having a important character/figure be killed or taken away from the main protagonist. I feel that this could hurt the mental of the main protagonist since they would most likely have a strong relationship with said character. However, this is still all just thought and there can always be changes to this but I feel this might be what I would start with for the film opening and for the script writing.

    Finally, I would like to give what my thoughts are on what might the setting and the props would be. And my answer to that is that it would have to be in a very dark area which could vary depending on how dark the place is, one, and two, how long would it be dark in the place before it starts to get brighter. Now as for the props, that can be very easy to do since in most cases it could be small and simple things such as a fake weapon or something that could represent something for symbolism that can be seen in many other psychological horror films like Ghost Face or the Saw movies.
