DVD Idea

The first port of call is to decide what the DVD is to be about. Here I am going to jump the gun as I already have the idea, I will make a paranormal activity/entity type movie. There are actually several good reasons to do this, other then my own enthusiasm for this type of movie.

These types of movies are horror movies based on seeing the movie through the characters cameras in their homes, seeing the paranormal activity increase as the movie progresses. This relies on simple unassuming sets and costumes, with lots of effects added afterwards to turn a normal home into a house of horrors. There's things moving on their own, ghostly figures appearing in mirrors and foot print appearing one by one on the ceiling.

This is fantastic for the project, it relies entirely on digital effects added to normal scenes, turning washing up into a brush with death himself. Transparency, layers and many other effects will need to be used in abundance.

Below is a trailer image for Paranormal Activity, which gives a good idea of the effects that could be used to give the effect I'm after.
