Re: Freaktacular 2015
In a time where Hollywood lacks ideas and imagination your task is to create a new horror movie icon. Your antagonist can be human/alien/robot/monster/whatever you would like it to be.
Your idea will be judged in the following areas:
1. Character name
2. Origin
3. Appearance
(This requires a brief sketch minimum however it will be judged on concept and originality. It’s not a drawing contest however please feel free to be as creative and artistic as you like).
4. Weapon
5. The victims
6. The name of the movie your character would star in
Each area will be marked out of 10 and the scores will be added up to give an overall mark out of 60. The person with the highest score wins. The prize will be an amazon email voucher.
Rules:
-All entries must be PM’d to me however please share your ideas in the thread too.
-Only one entry per member.
The closing date is at 14:00 GMT Sunday 25th October.
Good luck!
Greygoose I really like your contest idea. I will work on this through the week and PM you my final entry, but since you said to share ideas, here's a teaser for my movie.
Title:
Vicarious
Opening Scene: Evening, after dinner. We see a house from across the street. You cannot see much detail, but can clearly see the lights on in several windows on the first floor. Quiet neighborhood. Slowly, as if someone's carrying a portable camera, the shot zooms towards the house, and towards one of the lit windows. As we approach, we can see the family in the house laughing, sitting around the table, playing some board game.
Cut to inside (through the window): We're in a well-lit living room, rotating camera view around the family who is quite clearly enjoying a game of Monopoly. They are joking with each other, laughing, eating some snack food. This looks like a great family of four. After a minute, the camera rotates slowly back to the father, who is finishing a laugh at some joke, and then slowly frowns slightly as he puts his hand up to his temple. Slight grimace, but then goes back to playing with his family. After another few seconds he puts his hand back to his head and gets up. Wife asks if everything is OK. He smiles at her and says sure, he's just going to take some aspirin for a headache. The camera starts to pan out some as he leaves for the bathroom and the family continues to play their game.
Cut to opening credits.
Scene 2: The front of the same house, daytime. Police tape at the front door, police cars in the front, and a group of neighbors standing around looking concerned on the street nearby. The camera cuts inside, and we see police working a crime scene, where its obvious several people were the victims of some terrible crime. We overhear one officer/detective talking to another, and the gist of the conversation is that it looks like the father killed his family during family game night. Neighbors have told officers that the family seemed like a great family, and they cannot believe that the father would do such a thing. It didn't seem like it was in his character at all, but the scene in the living room shows otherwise.
More later...
