This is my rough first draft, it doesn’t have any of the special effects or audio editing I plan on doing yet but this is basically a layout of how I plan to structure the video and all the clips I plan on using. I think already the unsetting ramp up of suspense and found footage feel are coming together well. Once I add the sound effects and other things I plan on creating I think this video will have exactly the atmosphere I was going for. (Note: The video uploaded super compressed and in a rather strange aspect ratio, I’ll fix this for the next upload)
Role of Sound:
I plan for sound to be extremely important for my project. Audio design is something I really enjoy and I aim to use sound as much as possible to create the tension and environment for my project. Overall, the goal for my project is to create a feeling of suspense and I plan to record many audio effects myself for this purpose. I want to give my audience the gift of a story that draws them in and has many open questions for them. Ideally by the end of my film the audience should be wanting answers and a mix of confused, frightened, and curious. As mentioned in my first post, Kane Pixel’s work is a big inspiration for this project and many of his videos ended on a cliffhanger so I want to do something similar here.
