Final Project

This classic scene from 2001: A Space Oddity inspired me to the idea of creating a horror film. A short scary movie was something I hadn't thought about at all but then while watching this movie I began to wonder about how making a horror film might be the best way to combine everything I have wanted to do for this class. I want to create both the film and score to reflect simulations of fear. The idea so far is that a scientist has created artificial life to protect him but it has decided the best way to protect the scientist is to hold him captive and shield him from the world.

  1. I love the idea of playing with claustrophobia and creating sounds/music that coincide with that feeling. I would suggest trying to downplay the science-fiction aspect and try to work within a familiar environment one wouldn't expect to be potentially life-threatening. Still suggest checking out "Dark Star" to see how that parallels with "2001: A Space Odyssey."

  2. I'm very excited to see what you do with this! I think telling stories is an underused way to deliver a message, especially with such short-term assignments like this, but it can be so effective! Once again I can recommend you some comics that could relate to this (I'm a one-trick pony haha), esp. thinking of pacing, framing, cinematography-type stuff etc.
