I chose this scene because it is pretty similar to some parts of our film. Like our film, it starts out very innocent and slowly becomes more and more sinister. Then it ends with a jump scare of a character being dragged off screen and presumably killed. This matches up with several moments in our film, but most specifically the scene where the arm is dragged off screen.
Cues | Notes |
How does the atmosphere contribute to the jumpscare of being dragged off screen? How does being dragged off to the side differ from being dragged towards the background? Should it be more startling or subtle? Should the hand move or be still? (person awake/alive or no) How would having Georgie just disappear into the sewer with no build up compare to the original scene? Should there be music in our film? honestly leaning towards no having seen this scene. it just takes away from the tension | Everything seems pretty normal at first Actually not that much of a jump scare. Maybe such an iconic scene it’s too predictable? Slow drag off almost makes it scarier. Like it’s inevitable the music is too loud. takes away from the scare. Let the viewer sit in the aftermath. the still shot of the drain is just as scary as the other parts we can’t see what drags him off. We know, but it is obscured. we only see his face and upper body. |
