Video Inspirations

Being media students me and my group member decided to draw from existing media to inspire us to create our scary ghost character to give the trailer a more scary and professional look. We mainly looked at this unofficial video of the ring showing the main scary character move from the well. The imagery is very haunting as she appears from out of a well dressed in a dirty white dress yet her face is not visible due to her dark hair covering it. This all makes it very scary as the white dress shows and her pale skin insinuates she is dead, and the fact you can't see her face makes it very scary for the audience as its hard to distinguish what or who this character is. This has inspired me and my group member to create a character to look similar to this as being a media student it will be very difficult to make someone look like they have died and appear ghostly, yet this character would be relatively easy to create as there is lack of visibility of her face. The way in which the scary character crawls along the floor is also effective as it brings a very scary element to her in that she is obviously not normal and human like, she is more like a creature. We will also use this as an inspiration in our own trailer as it would not be suitable if the ghostly character was running around or acting human like. Our ideas for our story was to show that the scary character in the film had drowned herself this video has greatly inspired us with a way how to make it look like that happened. It would be very hard to try and film that shot if we had to show the character falling in the water.
