Alone is a thriller about a young man who wakes up in daze finding himself in a strange shack in the middle of a forest with no recollection of how he came to be there and no knowledge as to where he is. The forest is very scenic, breathtakingly beautiful; however there is a strange off-putting feeling in the air, like the calm before the storm. The character feels he could be stuck in a trippy dream world.
My aim was to get across the mood and setting of the movie without use of characters or dialogue and in a simplistic style.
I am a great fan of movies and one of my pet hates is when you see all you need to at the beginning or in the adverts. I feel there is much more satisfaction in the unknown. I wanted to give the audience a sense of mystery, keep them on the edge of their seats throughout the movie. There is nothing worse than a predictable story; twists in the story and getting to know the character, to figure things out about them rather than being point blankly obvious makes a much better piece.
I concentrated on timing in my sequence working hard to get my visual work to coincide exactly with changes and certain sounds in the soundtrack to achieve the effect I wanted. I restricted myself to only using photos I have taken and the sound track was created by Tom Demajo =]
***The Audio Track is not in time so i am going to sort this out and reload it ASAP ***
