The Grudge

I watched the film "The Grudge" tonight.  It starts off with blood drops which I think really create an effective atmosphere. However, I'm not sure I would want to use something like that in my film as it could look predictable for the horror/thriller genre. I personally think this introduction after 0.50 is very predictable and I most definitely will not be doing anything like this in my video.

I can't find the right clips on YouTube at the moment but I saw a really good camera shot which if possible would be brilliant to use in my film introduction. It was basically a camera shot of the fall of a body off a balcony so you could see the distance decrease from the top of the fall to the ground very rapidly from the victim's perspective. In my film it would be a cliff that the person would fall from.

 

In this clip, in the shot 3.21 it shows a body falling from a balcony onto the ground below. This is the kind of shot I would like for when the victim lands onto the area beneath the cliff after being perhaps pushed off by Vanessa. I would have to somehow recreate the sound the body makes when it hits the ground as I think it should be really realistic.
