SPOILER - blood & guts.
Added 2024-04-01 22:11:09 +0000 UTCHello there, all of you. And a very very happy Easter to you all!
I have two versions of a shot in the film and I'm not convinced Youtube will like either of them. Do you see videos getting pulled down for having blood? I just don't run across much of that on my feed.
I personally started my "career" doing blood-drenched art for a gory point and click horror game named The White Chamber so it's all good with me, but what do you think?
Anyway, here's the shot - AVOID IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPOILERS OR GORE-
okay, here it is:
Or the more conservative version:
I'll certainly be interested in hearing your thoughts!

Both? Just make two version of the film, a directors cut with the non-conservative gore in? I'd go with the gory version though as otherwise it looks too obscured where his head is.

2024-04-09 14:31:02 +0000 UTCI personally think the second (more conservative) pic feels better atmospherically while still conveying the same point, but that's also in a vacuum. I think I'd have to see it in context to decide. I'm imagining that this is slowly sliding in to view as the camera rounds the corner so to speak. I it's a jump cut though, like if the camera is focused on a character's reaction to walking in in this scene, and then it jumps to their point of view, then I think the first one is better.

2024-04-05 06:32:40 +0000 UTCYou can always use the "black and white" gore. I mean, she is having a traumatic view, tunnel vision in black and white, and magically blood turns into chocolate! XD Just kidding (or not so much, B&W narrative maybe too cheaply dramatic for the short), but it will for sure pass over youtube criteria. I really like more, as said by other patrons, the not-show-just-imagine-the-worst approach, it's always much more powerful. Apart from that, when will it be released? Internet is right now on fire with Romulus... so releasing now is a perfect timing with all the attention and not the highs and lows of the movie actual release

2024-04-02 03:47:26 +0000 UTCI agree that the conservative version is actually scarier. Your imagination often conjures up scarier thoughts than what is actually there.

2024-04-02 01:19:42 +0000 UTCI agree with Phillip. It's scarier because it adds more tension to the scene. Then the peek around the corner can lower the tension down when they see its just a dead body and suddenly cause it to spike with some other discovery.

2024-04-01 23:30:29 +0000 UTCI actually think the conservative one is more scary…it feels more voyeuristic peeking around the corner, which fits with the weird pseudo-sexual themes of the first film. Less is more sometimes.
