Here is a link to my animatic as it is:
I don’t like the pan shot at the beginning of the film, the way the camera just drifts passed the orphanage does nothing to draw the viewer in or add drama to the shot so instead I’m going to track in towards the gate and have it close behind. I think this will set the pace for my film and add horror to the opening. Here is the initial drawing for the changed shot:
At the moment I’m still unhappy with some of the angles in the shots where the transformations from orphans to dolls take place. These specific shots are straight on; following vertical or horizontal lines which doesn’t suit the horror genre or the chaos of the scene.
I’ve taken print screens from a few different horror films to illustrate where tilted angles are used for scary moments.
Silent Hill
In a scene where Rose is alone, looking for her daughter in the bowels of the haunted town of Silent Hill as the creatures of the darkness creep around her.
in a scene where Rose flees from Pyramid head.
Grudge
In a scene near the end of the film where Kayako the “onyo” or evil spirit crawls down the stairs and gives Doug the kiss of death.
The Evil Dead
In a scene showing members of a university friendship group who have been possessed by the Evil Dead.
