inspiration for our production ‘lucid’
TRANSCRIPT
Lucid’s Formula
+ +
Inception + A Nightmare On Elm Street + 1408 = LUCID
The idea of lucid dreams and
dream sequences
Again, lucid dream sequences, but also crossing
over to the horror genre
The surrealist, enigma element
Characters: Protagonist/Antagonist
Strong, female lead character- Against stereotypes of the
Thriller genreInspired by lead characters
from films such as…
The Silence Of The Lambs
Scream
Lighting
Stills: A Nightmare On Elm Street. Displays perfectly extremely low key lighting:
•Gives an eerie, more mysterious feel to the scene•Gives a sense of vulnerability to character in frame
Camera Angles
Still: 1408
MS is enhanced with lighting
Still: Inception
Slightly tilted angle of the camera gives the shot depth. A different
approach to a CU.
Setting
Still: The Unborn
A corridor/hallway that can use low key lighting. The dream sequence will be based
around this setting
An environment for the character to wake up
abruptly in. Most likely to be a bedroom at this point.
This still from A Nightmare On Elm Street
demonstrates the impact we’re looking for to end the
scene
