Some photographs I took as we filmed...
I went for a blurry aesthetic for some of these images as they are seemingly curious and the viewer looks carefully to observe the photographs. They also bring a sense of movement to the photographs, as if you are viewing then in real time.
I love this picture of Alden, It really catches the innocence of his personality. He is a character that enjoys alone time at night because he never expects to fall in a dangerous situation, as it almost never happens around him. But little did he know he was going to confront terror greater than most other terrors.
motion blurred pictures really catch the uncanniness if its a picture of a monster, and in the Baphomet's case, it looks somewhat threatening, despite just standing there. The skull already represents death, and the dried blood adds to the danger it emits. Also, the horns from a distance also raises your urge to run for your life.
Here is a clear character study of Alden, dressed in his usual casual night clothes, and it shows how cold it can get but despite that, he is committed enough to enjoy exploring the streets in the dark. And below that is a witty moment between the protagonist and the antagonist :)
The photographs below are shot in a style as if the police have come to investigate the missing case of Alden and took photographs of the scene. These photographs are also termed as liminal spaces, which are usually unsettling lifeless images of places where usually humans are seen, but now seeing them empty like this create an eerie and unsettling feeling. These uncanny images are recently gaining a lot of popularity on the new media, and I thought including them in my film would boost the uncomfortable feeling I already hoped to create.
