Today we met up as a group to pick and discuss our idea for the uncanny project. We decided to go with Phoebe's idea as it was one we all felt would make an interesting project based around the uncanny theme.
Our project shall be called Pink Nightmares and will have an Alice In Wonderland kind of theme. The film shall take place in a playroom styled set. The walls shall be covered in floral wallpaper which we shall then paint pastel flowers on to create a childlike atmosphere, this wallpaper shall cover each side of the set. The middle of the set shall have a feature wall of black outlined roses which we shall be painting red, we will have the red paint dripping off the roses as though they are bleeding linking with the Alice In Wonderland theme. (painting the roses red) There will be various props such as a fireplace against the feature wall with dolls lined up on top of it and dolls and toys strewn across the floor creating a play room like feel to the set. The film will feature a young female aged around 7 years old and elderly female. The film shall tell the tale of a young girl playing in her playroom with her grandmother knitting beside her with her back turned towards the camera. The grandmothers knitting speed shall increase and the room will appear darker, the red roses will then start to bleed and the dolls on the fireplace will start to move turning towards the little girl, moss will then start to grow on the walls as though the room is coming into a life of its own. The little girl will walk over to her grandmother who will be knitting extremely fast, her back will still be turned away from the camera as we see her arms moving as she knits. The little girl will then call her grandmothers name to which her grandmother doesn't reply. The little girl then reaches out to put her hand on her grandmothers shoulder. The grandmother then turns around and we see that she has been knitting her own face, a mixture of black goo and blood will seep from her face as she widely smiles into the camera. For the knitting of the face we shall be using latex.
We shall use a green screen to create the movement of the dolls coming alive.
