Insidious Opening Title
The title of the film which is ''Gone'' is to create enigma for the film similar to what Insidious has done, we used this title as we feel it is simple and very relatable to the film itself. We wanted to create a mysterious title which would make the audience think about why we used it. In the shot we ended on, we watch the boy disappear which relates back to the title as he is literally ''Gone''.
This is the house of the set, which is challenging the park which we used.
The setting and location for ''Gone'' is mostly filmed in a park at night, we used this location as it was quiet and also very compact so we were able to show a lot in such a small area, we tried to keep this horror arguably similar to Evil Dead so that we can create a similar setting however much more mysterious you can see this in the bottom right shot as shows the park, we tried to challenge the real media product by using high key lighting.
For the character in the film we used props and a costume, the main props were the article of the missing boy as well as the makeup we needed to use on the boys face to make him look muddy and dirty. You can see this in use in the top left shot as there is a close up of the characters face with the dirty look. This similar prop is used specifically in Evil Dead with the main character also looking dirty and muddy through out the film.
The Camera Work and editing in the close up with the boy, with the light shot flashing on him on and off as well as the ghosting effect in the editing is challenged in our inspiration film Insidious, we tried to sync the audio to the ghosting effect in editing to make it unique and clean. We feel that using the lighting effect develops several lighting effects in Insidious specifically in the opening titles.
The titles font we used is Coolvetica which looks rather casual for a horror film, we tried to challenge the real media product being our inspiration Insidious which uses some old fashion style font however we feel that our font worked well with the editing and camera work in the film even though it was white and looked fairly casual compared to the genre, and if you look at the stereotypical horror film the font which is used is normally quite old style or fancy.
The story for ''Gone'' is rather typical for a horror film, the opening which sets the film up is fairly understandable. Obviously the opening should only reveal only little of the actual film however we tried to create a enigma from the opening to set a tension, as you can see in the bottom left shot we filmed the end of the opening in a dark corridor as the boy slowly walks towards the camera not revealing his face, this is to keep the audience unknown and continue the enigma.
The genre for our film is Horror and we compared our opening to the real media product which is Insidious, both genres are horror however our opening is set to create enigma and not so much straight into horror which is challenged to Insidious which is typically known for jump scares as well as low key lighting which is a similar to ours. The best example of the same use of lighting is in the middle top shot with the character and the yellow light behind him.
In the opening of our film we have one main character which is James, we introduced him with the news reporter saying that the boy is missing and we then show different shots of the boy in low key lighting to make it look late at night you can see this in the top left shot as you see the main character close up, this is challenging the real media product from Insidious as in the opening we do not really get to see the main character too much so we tried to develop the idea of creating enigma with the audience.
In our opening we were limited to special effects, the main effects came from editing with effects such as 'ghosting' on the close up of the main character as well as the increased lighting in some shots. Obviously we were not able to spend too much on the film since it is a media project however we were able to apply ourselves using the Adobe Premier editing tools as well as common lighting effects when filming. We tried to challenge Insidious by using different effects which created more of a subtle enigma rather than straight up horror.
