Requiem: Research 2

[19-7-10]
Images of Typical American style schools / objects / equipment.


I would love to try and get a typical american school bus within Requiem obviously it would have to be either a main focus, could the camera fly through it? I keep adding cool ideas to this project every hour or two.

I am thinking,
Requiem starts; in a playground, kids playing, but as if they are ghosts, a crashed school bus is the sign of danger and destruction, the camera would then fly through the school bus and in the school. From there on we would fly through the school, seeing what the carnage and war has done. We would possibly see fires still burning, bullet casings on the floor, and charred and demolished walls.

Keep frosty guys.

On a side note;
I've just purchased Left 4 Dead 1 & 2, on Steam, If anyone else has it, leave me a comment below and we shall play sometime. (When I'm not busy that is)

Review - Psycho

Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho 1960.
This film was amazing. I dont usually enjoy black and white films but this one kept me gripped. Im just going to list the main points about the film. Strange thing was I stopped taking notes about half way through 'cos I was so interested!

Female Lead - Marion;
Starts at a hotel/apartment it seemed as though we couldnt tell wether she was having an affair or dating the male character.
She is trusted by her boss at work with $40k to deposit into the bank.
She then feels like she is being 'followed' and 'watched' as she is driving home with the money.
She pulls over to sleep and is found by a police officer, who follows her for the majority of the film.
She trades her old car for a new one + $700.
Not being followed anymore she pulls into Bates Motel/Hotel.
Hides the money in her Newspaper.
As she is in the shower, a female figure comes in and stabs her to death.

Motel 'Clerk' - Norman;
Kinda Creepy
Treats Marion with care and respect when they meet
He starts to flirt with Marion
When Marion mentions putting his mother 'Someplace' (Mental Home) he turns mad/crazy
When Marion returns to her room to shower and change, he watches her through a hole in the wall.

'The Figure' - Killer;
First seen entering the bathroom to kill Marion
Second time she is seen she jumps out from the bedroom of Norman's Mother and kills the Private Inspector.


The environments are small 'ish and everything feels 'set' in place. The soundtrack adds tension at special times, one time she speaks to the police officer after which he starts following her.


Well theres a small break down of Psycho - Alfred Hitchcock.
