BedFellows

BedFellow's is a two and a half minute short horror film.

The film begins with a woman in bed laid next to her boyfriend, the camera then pans around the bedroom showing the audience, pictures of the woman and her boyfriend together through various close ups, emphasising the idea that it is him she is in bed with. The phone then rings and it turns out it is her boyfriend who is calling, this tells the audience that it isn't him she's in bed with; asking the haunting question of: Who's laying next to her? The camera then jumps to a mid shot of the bed, revealing that the person in bed with her is a creature of some kind. The woman reaches her arm over to pull the covers back, this creates a build up of tension for the audience. Once her arm comes into contact with the covers, there is a jump scare through a close up of the creatures face.


I really enjoyed BedFellows, so much so that it has inspired me to end my film in a similar way. This is because I like the cliffhanger the film ends on and how the film plays on peoples ultimate fears of waking up and finding someone in bed next to them when they are suppose to be alone. It also takes away the sense of security that we have whilst in bed and will therefore hopefully have a lasting impression on the audience after watching the film.


I could quite easily recreate and improve upon BedFellows as I have the appropriate: Props, equipment, location, mise-en-scene, and software etc available to me.
