I looked into the set design for paranormal activity. It's more of just a regular house they decided to film in rather than actually a made up set. This is the reason why I decided to look into this movie. Anyone can walk into their house or a friends house and start filming. This was actually one of the reasons I chose to do a horror/ thriller movie. Most movies from this genre start with a low budget since the equipment, props, and setting, etc is so cheap.

Just look at these numbers!!
Most production companies see horror or thriller movies as an investment.
So how does this tie into my struggles as a student trying to create a film opening? Well, just that. I am a student writing, producing, directing and staring in my own film opening with a budget of zero dollars. Horror movies are the small risk I'm willing to take to make something big because I don't need much!!!!

I know this isn't the best idea, but as I approach the days I'll have this thought in the back of my head. But, If I really do find out the day of filming that I need a specific prop, I will go get it or go make it or anything. I know its a "wing it" moment but I feel thats the best for now.
💡[FUN FACT] 💡
The house where the original Paranormal activity was filmed is on sale! Yes, they filmed in a real house not a fake set!That's a lot of money...! |
