I thought i would look into different ways that i could create the dark and menacing vibe i would want when picturing the inside of my head. i took to "American Horror Story" for inspiration, not for the show but for the opening title sequences. They always find a great way to hook the audience with the more than bizarre pictures and flashes of out of the ordinary people or objects mixed together with quick cuts and brooding lights, it really connects well together to let the audience know what they are in for when watching the rest of the show.
here is a link to a video clip showing one of the intros: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVJPbSa-HRY )
This got me thinking of some objects i could put in the space around me when filming the anger and dark thoughts, i was also thinking about lighting and how i would like the lighting set. For this piece i think shadows are vital to create the sinister and menacing visuals i am looking for.
When i started to think of lighting i was thinking of the shadows around my face and the placement of the lights to create the effects i am looking for. One example would be a hanging light bulb which is the only one lit in the room just above my head, it would darken out the eyes and give my face a soulless appeal. I also thought about the ways in which i could set the mood and how i could use gel's to accomplish this. Red would certainly fit anger yet i thought a dark purple would create a fuse of both anger and horror.
I really like the way in which "American Horror Story" intros use the quick jump cuts to create a tense atmosphere, somewhere in my film i would like to incorporate the same idea. I thought as an example i run into my first situation and a quick cut of the room pops up and as i go from situation to situation it pieces together ending in one final cut at the end of madness, directly following that would be me calming down.
