alllriight.. so it is time to corral my thoughts and formulate a direction for my next short. Working as a PA on a horror movie/webseries inspired me to go into an even darker direction than i have before. There are so many simple ways of using household materials, aided by light and camera angle, to create realistic gore. I've always been fascinated by the way blood looks in black and white. It holds a different context entirely. As if it takes the form of some dark evil oozing from under pure white skin. Perhaps it is the contrast created from black and white that creates this, and through dramatic lighting i can make color film react the same. Also speaking of contrast i believe in injecting a little humor into even the darkest of films. I usually hate horror films, which is why i want to tackle one myself to see if i can find a love for it myself. I've got a whole list of japanese horror movies on my netflix ready to cue so it's time to get watching. I truly feel every film i do will be an experiment, for myself at least. As each person's life is an experiment unto themselves; no one else has truly been where we are now.
