For our short film, we have chosen the 'Horror/Thriller' genre and have gathered footage for this accordingly. Usually denoted in this genre are places that some may typically find scary or unsettling. In our short film, we had chosen to film in a dark alleyway. Typically, an alleyway is symbolic of key themes such as: fear, death, isolation.etc. Whilst viewing this scene, the viewers would feel unsettled and concerned for the main character as they ponder why the main character is in the allewyay by herself and what she could be doing there. The alleway is also dark and gritty, making the atmosphere feel eerie and makes the viewer feel suspenseful of what is possibly going to happen next.
Our short movie is set in the COVID-19 2020 pandemic; typically, the main characters would not be able to meet in person. To get around this, the main characters get onto a Zoom call so they can all meet up and talk to each other instead of meeting up in real life. We captured this 1 footage on a Zoom call to connote what it was typically like during this time period and so that the viewers could relate as the pandemic happened in recent times and have lived through.
Typically in Horror/Thriller movies, there is usually a threat to the main characters. In our short movie, to symbloise threat we captured footage of a 'killer' that would try to elminate the main characters. The shot of the killer standing behind one of the main characters dennotes how dangerous he is and how much of a threat he is to the main characters. He looks threatning, indicating that he would possibly be after the other characters in the duration of the short film.
