Project name: UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Initial idea: Horror film. Idea of a man in the woods thinking he's being chased by some entity that wants to cause him harm. However, the twist is that the entity was himself.
Source of idea and importance: Desire to branch out on our genres
Desired experience/emotion evoked in audience: Humor?
Synopsis of story: The protagonist is at his most vulnerable in the bathroom. Little does he know that an entity is stalking him.
Theme/Premise of piece discovered after finishing it: Bathrooms are creepy.
Strengths in film: Experimentation. Really trying to focus in on our technical skills. We tried something new. Transitions were decent too.
Problem areas: Pacing. Acting.
Suggestions: We needed to get the actor to play his role better. He had a tendency to smile, which also influenced how the story was read. There are moments in the film where the anticipation could have been pushed further.
Notes on learning process, discoveries, and frustrations: Have someone's role to sort out the videos. There are so many takes that it would be easier if someone sorted it out ahead of time before editing. Writing a script really helps the group out too, so everyone can be on the same page. Also, the more ideas, the better! Don't censor yourself! And share your ideas with your group members! Especially if they seemed focused on the initial idea.
