Ah… Trusty Oscillators
For my role in the project, I've been looking into various sound effects, sound artists and generally creepy things that make equally creepy noises. For instance, I have spent a lot of my time playing with a home-made sound box known as an oscillator. This produces various audible frequencies: One of the two dials changes the pitch of the audio, and the other messes about with the frequencies that are produced. I'll upload the audio that I recorded with it at a later date, when I have more time, but for the mean time, here are a couple of links that I have drawn some inspiration from with regards to background music / sound effects : http://www.myspace.com/babygrandbabygrand
(this is my eldest sister's band, and they mess about with an awful lot of instruments and other things that they can modify into instruments to create really experimental sounds. my sister can play the saw, which sounds really fitting for a thriller!)

(this guy is an experimental drummer who I have seen perform at an alternative experimental music festival called Palimpsest, and he uses very strange techniques to play his instruments.)

Test footage
I brought in my own camera from home as we decided it would be easier to use rather then having to hire one out from the college.
Freddie our cinematographer shot some test footage during college hours to see if my camera worked with the college Mac's. We also tested out the night vision button to see how well it worked and to see if it gave us some ideas.
Luckily the camera worked really well with the Mac's and I was able to upload the very short clip of Freddie and Amy in the cupboard screaming.
I also gave my editing skills a quick go with final cut and cut the short piece up and added some sound effects.

Similar ideas to ours.


In the opening scene of this piece it has a similar idea to ours, the idea was to have a woman laying on her bed with the camera laying on its side whilst there is also a man in the room who she is unaware of.
The clip also uses dark lighting which we also plan to use as well. This makes the atmosphere slightly more creepy and terrifying.

Stephanie Fretwell homework :)
The genre that i and my group are working is thriller/ horror.
Our sequence contains elements that are similar to that of other horror/ thrillers.
For example we have a damsel in distress and a villan for our piece that tries to do harm to the damsel in distress.
We also have other micro elemnts such as a dark setting, we plan to film in dark rooms for this element. This is so that it makes the audience quite scared but it also helps to build tension for some of our scenes that we plan to film.

In the group that im working in with my role is editor :)
I chose to be editor because i love to use the technology and it also gives me a chance to use my artistic side.
Within my given role i aim to help my group produce a great short sequence that will slightly scare the audience, of course all the group members will help to achieve this with a group effort.

Many of our influences from other films have been posted on the blog, we managed to find some short clips of certain scenes which we found interesting.

Our group idea
Our group idea was to create a short 2 minute piece which would be a thriller.
The main plot of the film would be that a young woman would be in her own home when there is a male intruder stalking around following her without her being aware of the intruder.
