Found Footage 3D Page #5

---

is so big and horrible

for everyone around them

that it has actually

ripped open a hole

to the gateway of hell.

-So I think if

we put it here...

What do you think?

-Absolutely, yeah, because

we wanna be able to have

people come through the door,

and the fridge will block that,

and I think that's good.

-The only problem

here is that I think

this is where the

whole 3D part kind of

falls apart a little bit.

-What do you mean the

3D thing falls apart?

-Well, when the

audience is watching the

surveillance footage it's

not gonna make sense

to them if it's not in 3D.

-Yeah, but why

wouldn't it be in 3D?

What do you mean it's not in 3D?

-Well, I mean, that

won't make sense.

-What won't make sense?

-There's no such thing as

a 3D surveillance camera.

-We don't know that.

-No, I do, I looked it up.

-Okay, well, there should be.

-Agreed, but there's not.

-Okay, you know what,

do you have two gopros?

-I have several.

-Great, take two,

stick em' together,

left eye, right eye,

stereo, 3D, boom,

that's your problem solved.

-I mean, I get it,

i just think you're

missing the point a little bit.

-What I think you're doing

is pissing in the pool again,

don't over think it.

Audiences, stupid, you,

making it happen, 3D.

-Okay, fair enough,

I'll give it a shot.

This might actually work.

It's a ridiculous idea,

but it might actually work.

Sweet.

Mark:
Just talk about

what makes shooting

a found footage movie

different from shooting--

-a real movie?

Basically, the task in

a found footage movie

is to take really good sound,

and make it sound as

shitty as possible.

And just job well done on that.

-I mean, that's

the thing right,

with found footage you

don't need to worry about

lights, and grips,

and all that crap.

You can just go out in the

woods, shoot the movie,

and it's brilliant because

you get away with it,

and it makes you look

like the genius.

Oh, we're just running

around with a camera,

we don't know what we're doing,

and so it's like, "well,

the light's crap,

"and the sound's crap."

Be like, "exactly, but guess

who's paying for it? Boom."

We shouldn't use that one.

-It is different, definitely,

but I think ultimately

all acting is about

finding the truth in the moment.

Whether that's improving

for a found footage film

or belting out a

Broadway musical, i--

okay, let's

take that again.

Mark:
Oh, okay, yeah, sure.

Whenever you're ready.

-Yes, it is different

i will say that--

mark:
Hey guys, we're

doing an interview.

Derek:
Awesome, keep it up.

-You know what, sweetheart,

why don't we just do

this another time.

Mark:
Yeah, sure.

-So, Amy and I come in, she's

talking about her uncle,

though she's being

cagey and evasive,

not telling me the whole story,

then she hints at the

ominous back story of it.

We get to like right over there,

I think right where Lily is,

and that's when

the shovel falls,

almost hits Amy in the head.

Audience jumps out

of their seat.

Lily:
Nice.

I love it when things do that.

-Like a cat? Is

it a "pop scare"?

Amy:
It's called

a jump scare!

It's called a jump scare,

and I think it's

probably one of the most

overused cliches

in horror movies.

-That's why we're using it.

-You might as well

just have a cat.

-We don't have a f***in'

cat, we have a shovel.

-No, I think it's

lazy filmmaking,

Andrew, I think you would agree.

It's bad writing done by hacks

who can't even write a script

that unsettles on

a deeper level.

You know what, actually,

it's meant to appease

audience members who are just

too stupid to know better.

-Okay.

Amy:
I don't

think it's worth it.

Derek:
We need to

have some kind of

moment where it snaps.

-That's not really,

that's not a fair thing

for you to say to me, okay. I

mean, what did I ever--

Derek:
Jesus! Sh*t,

oh my god!

Carl:
Lily? Lily?

Oh my god, Lily?

Derek:
Is she okay?

Carl:
No, no, don't.

Derek:
Lily are you okay?

Carl:
Hey, answer Lily.

Do you hear us?

Do you hear us?

Okay, okay.

No, no, don't move

your head around.

Don't move your head around.

Listen, who am I?

Who am I?

It's okay, it's just

a little blood,

don't worry about it.

Andrew:
She's bleeding.

Carl:
Hey, how many

fingers do I have up?

-Two.

Carl:
Okay, what's your name?

-Lily.

Carl:
Okay, what's my name?

-Carl.

Carl:
Do you

know where you are?

-Yeah.

-Okay, look, let's

get you up slow.

Sit up real slow,

okay, how's your neck?

Here, go real slow, let me

hold your neck for you.

Andrew:
Oh Jesus.

Carl:
Okay, you dizzy?

No, you're not dizzy?

Okay, okay, put your

arm around me, come on.

-Give me your other arm.

Carl:
That's good.

Amy:
I hope she's okay.

-Derek, I don't care, if she

needs to go to the hospital--

-i would take her.

-Are you--

-Lily, hey lil.

Look at you, hey, should we

take you to the hospital?

Andrew:
Lily, be honest.

-I'll take you, we'll

jump in the car right now

if you need to go.

-No, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Derek:
Yeah?

Andrew:
She's...

Derek:
You're a big trooper?

-Alright, there we go.

She's fine, it's just

a bump on the head.

Carl:
You sure you okay?

You're okay? I mean, do

you have a headache?

-Why don't you get some water?

Carl:
Huh?

-Why don't you get some water?

Carl:
Okay.

-Please.

I don't know, I just,

i hope she's okay.

She seems like a

really nice girl.

-That was definitely weird.

Not just me freakin'

out about nothing.

That was, you know.

-These things do happen.

I mean, you talk to any

of the big directors,

you know, you watch their

director's cuts like,

sh*t happens people get hurt,

they get banged up.

The important thing

is she's okay,

and we can keep moving forward.

And, you know, not overreact.

That's terrible.

It's true though.

-It's just I don't know if it's

worth us stopping the flow

of the story for

a full minute

while you deliver the

third act exposition.

-I'm not stopping the

flow of the story,

I'm telling them

what's happening.

We're letting the audience

know what's happened,

so they're not confused when

they leave the theater.

I was hoping for something

a little bit more

ambiguous,

let them have something

to talk about--

-they're gonna be talking

about how great the movie is,

not oh my god, I don't know

what the hell just happened.

-We should be letting

them decide for themselves

what the spectre is

instead of telling them.

-Blair witch.

-People are gonna

think we don't know

what it is if we

don't tell them.

"They don't even know

their own movie."

-If we leave it vague,

we can add to the

mythology if it.

We can build on it in a sequel.

-Charge them another ten bucks?

-Sure.

-Thirteen bucks, 3D.

-3D, that's right.

-Imax. 15, f*** it, go big.

-Exactly.

- Alright, I get it.

Yes, okay, I will bring it in,

make it a little more vague.

-Okay, just do it

quickly, Derek,

we have very little time left.

-Oh, okay, thank you.

Amy:
You still awake too?
