Ideation process: Final Project

For my video, before I can do the visuals, I first need the audio. For the audio, I decided to use Bonnie Bleacher's "Come Wander With Me". This old song has a creepiness to it, that makes it great with the theme, not to mention it was used for the famous show, Twilight Zone.

As for how I want to do my video, I have decided to do a simple shot by shot video as if the advertisement of National Geographic's "I wouldn't go in there"

As for the scenes, I would do first a Hallway scene where the lights will start to flicker, and at one of the flicks, you'll see a little girl just for a brief moment.

Then I would add a swings scene, where one of he swings will start swinging by itself.

Then I would add a doll scene, where the doll will suddenly move or turn to face you.

And I would also add a scene where a TV screen or monitor would suddenly turn on in the dark, but nothing is on the screen, only static..

Idea Research: Final Project

I tried to research a few ideas for the video. Fear is almost always associated with ghost, so I decided to do a video about ghost. So I have watched a few ghost stories such as:

The Ring

Ju-on

Kuchisake-onna

And also, I have watched a compilation of ghost video caught on camera.

Unbelivable Ghost video of Spring 2012:

Horror Night Radio:

From all these videos, I tried to summarized the parts that makes us scared. I found out that the most scariest part is when you cannot really see the ghost but you know the ghost is somewhere there. So I have decided to compile some of the scariest scene into one video.

Final Project: e-Motion

For my final project, I decided to do the emotion of fear, specifically fear of ghost. So, in order to do this, I first need to research what is fear.

This is fear as defined as the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. It states that fear is to be afraid of. 

And this is fear as described in Frank Herbert's Dune. It says that fear is a mind-killer, it is the little death that brings total obliteration.

These are examples of visualized fear:
