Forsaken

No credits on film; a necessary sacrifice to get it below 10 mins! See below.

A cut-down version of a film made for The Brighton Filmmakers Coalition June 2010 Challenge - story vs genre. The story our group got was 'High Noon' (the ending is different!); the genre, psychological thriller.

The original uncut version (part one) can be found here:

The grading work at the beginning the saturation, giving an optical glow plus the vignetting works wonders, let alone the overlay later. Amazing work given the time-frame you got the story in the bag, with some great close up work & imagery (The use of a tarot card, reminded me of that old UK TV series with spooky merry go-round music at the start, forget it's name)...!!
