Filming 2

Today (thursday) we plan to film straight after school, the weather seems to be good (dry) and everyone is prepared. We're just hoping there's no drastic change in the weather! The shots we are planning to obtain today are the additional shots to the 'killing scene' as we feel this should be our climax of our film and we should make this as effective as possible.

Films of similar idea/name

All of the above films share our idea in that they reflect the difference between reality and the paranormal. They get the viewer thinking and in many cases the ending depends on the individual audience member.

Filming 1

Originally we planned to film today (Tuesday) however due to illness within our group (our main actor is unwell) we have had to re-schedule until Thursday. We aim to have our remaining footage shot by this friday.

Research into the human nature of premonitions

I believe that it would be of value to research into the very nature of the human being when effected by premonition experiences. It is of my own knowledge that a premonition sprouts from Extra Sensory Perceptive abilities. Many with a higher depth of knowledge of such would refer to these as Clairsentience, which is another type of extrasensory perception in that clairsentient people can sense past, present, or future events through “sensing” them, though non-clairsentient people cannot perceive them.


Here is the very real claims of the paranormal community about premoniton experiences : 

My 41 yr old daughter has premonitions of someone’s death: She smells fresh dirt/earth. This has been happening since she was a teenager. Of course, she didn’t correlate waking up, smelling dirt with anyone’s death. She did take notice that each time she actually did awaken from smelling fresh dirt, someone died.

Over the years, she gets approximately 3 to 4 days notice that someone is going to die. It’s always someone in the family, or a close friend of the family. It doesn’t happen when it’s outside of the family or people that she barely knew.

Today she called me, in tears. She’d been awakened 4 days ago, smelling fresh dirt. She knew someone was going to die. Two days ago, the smell woke her up and it was so strong, as if it were being pushed in her face. Her father-in-law died this AM. She’s never dreamt of it twice in a row… but… being it was her own father-in-law, it happened twice in one week.

She wants it to go away. We have no explanation as to why this happens, but it sure does. Just makes her sick when it happens.

She’s called me in the past, asking “are you OK?” Of course, it’s because she had “the dream”. When I reassure her that I’m OK, she’ll then call her Dad, and her closest friends, etc. This terrifies her, and with good reason. It’s never failed. It’s always happened within a week of the dream… someone close dies.

Redrafting the storyboard

We in premonition productions are reconsidering some of the things our movie branches out to. We believe that our movie requires some fine tuning with some more elusive details that compliment the direction of our production. For example we are reconsidering the ending scene, the killing scene and the climax of the haunting of Dianne Soon. We will be taking these repercussions of our filming mistakes seriously thus learning from them and directing our film project. 

My inspiration for the second soundtrack sample

I believe that the soundtrack of Donnie Darko is an excellent inspiration for the development of our soundtrack because it is capable of encapsulating the surreal and psychotic nature that we are trying to convey within the inhuman persona of our murderous protagonist. I must also be honest in saying that Donnie Dark is one of my favourite movies and I would be honoured in providing my own personal tribute to such a great movie.
