GhostoftheAlps Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Sightings is a short film that a friend of mine and I are writing and I am directing. Synopsis: A group of high school students are doing a video report for their Digital Video class. When the group starts following an unknown figure, the get themselves entangled in a quite horrifying situation. One by one the group gets plucked off by an unknown assailant, and the only thing left is their footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFEkfdL7BPw Facebook fan page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelizeIt Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Nice work so far. This kind had that Cloverfield feel to it. (the way its filmed and terror/suspense aspect) You should forward your finished version to Bad Robot productions, so J.J. Abrams might possibly catch a glimpse of it. (A long shot I know, but in the Directors commentary for his Star Trek film he stated that the opening logo for the movie was designed by a 23 year old guy he came across on the internet.) Good Luck!

MG Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hey that is looking fantastic. I am part of my school's film club, Vibrant Films. You have clearly thought about the scripting well, and it looks professional style - low budget. Exactly what you want. The only suggestion I would have is when inside the building, add a sort of black and white effect. Would just make it feel a little more spooky. What editing program are you using?

GhostoftheAlps Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Thanks! I am glad you all liked it! and to answer MG's question, I edit using Final Cut Pro. Can't wait to post more when Production starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no_brain_er Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Wow! The preview trailer is very impressive. I'm not gonna lie, 0:23-0:31 was pretty intense. It reminds me of a Blair Witch kind of storyline, set in a school. Nothing wrong with that, of course, Blair Witch was brilliant. Nice work so far. Can't wait to hear more about it!

GhostoftheAlps Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Yeah the whole "School Video project", but what's chasing them is completely different than Blair Witch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash.1111 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 That looks really good! Are you really 14? It looks quite impressive, especially if you are only 14. Keep us updated on here and on F/B as I want to see more of this film. How long will the finished product be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolliger&Mabillard Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Classic "white girl in horror movie" touch "Becky, I heard a weird noise over there" "Really April? Let's go check it out!" Classic. In all seriousnes, the production, acting, and delivery seems superb so far. I was actually impressed with what the project is so far and look forward to seeing updates on it.

jjune4991 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 that was a very good trailer. Very Cloverfield-like, which I enjoyed, so this seems good. Also reminds me of Paranormal Activity. Great job so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pufferfish Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 This is looking very good. I always enjoy seeing low-budget amateur films, because most of the time they end up being better than what we get from the professionals. I personally can't wait to see your finished project. This makes me want to finally get started on my "shaky-cam" film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
