For my final piece I decided to do a horror title sequence. I am very fascinated by all gory and scary things that a lot of films have. I have done a lot of research on scary films,title sequences and also some music videos because some of them had a lot of interesting images and footage in them.I have developed a lot of my ideas at home and then when I came back to college I just got all the things I needed to film and I was doing what I had to do to complete my piece.
I was inspired by films such as Saw,American Horror Story and Sinister. I have watched the films themselves and then watched the title sequences that were made for them on Youtube and those three are my favorites because they are interesting and different from anything else I have seen. All of them have different content in them,they use different type and colors but what is the same about them is that they all have that flickering effect that I really like in films and videos because it makes you more concentrated and it makes the piece a little bit more scarier than it would be without the flickering. When I have finished writing all my ideas down I had to write my own story for the film which I found really easy to do because of how many ideas I had so it was easy for me to just think of the characters that I wanted to have in my film, where the film would be set and what would be happening in the actual film if I was to make a whole film not just a title sequence.
I have also watched a lot of music videos by bands such as Slipknot,Mushroomhead and Avatar. I have watched the most recent Slipknot music videos because they have had a lot of interesting footage in them. I have watched one of the videos and it had a lot of blood,gore and self harm that I wanted to have in my video. Although I wanted a different kind of self harm, I didn't want people to think of a word self,see my story and think that people were harming themselves in a way of cutting their wrists. I wanted it to be a little bit more gory and I wanted the actresses in my film to have a very bloody make up so it looked like they were harming themselves.For example one of the actresses had a cut open mouth and she had stitched it together, that was the kind of self harm I wanted it to be. But in a no way I am promoting self harming and saying it's okay to do so, I'm including self harm in this title sequence because it's about mentally ill people, and people who cannot be cured anymore and no one wants to take care of them because they are too dangerous for other people and for themselves.
I was inspired to call my piece by a singer Marilyn Manson and his video The Beautiful People. In my opinion the video is so strange, weird and creepy and it fit really well to what I had in my mind for my final piece. I wanted it to be a little scary but I didn't want to give out too much information about the whole film in my title sequence. I wanted some of the parts of the footage to be mysterious and be kept as a secret. But I also wanted to give out enough information so that people would know what the film is about and would be interested in watching it if it was to come out.
