Vincent Corrigan: whispering You see the shadows in this old theater? Perfect for our Hitchcock-style suspense, right?
nods, eyes wide Yeah, creepy as hell. But isn't it strange there's no one else around? Must be haunted or something.
Haunted? No, just abandoned. The city's lost its touch, like a once-grand mansion left to decay. We're here alone because it's cheaper.
Sure, but why do you insist on filming without sound?
smirking Ah, my friend, silence is golden. It heightens the tension, don't you see?
nodding eagerly Yeah, but don't you think it's too dark?
smirking Oh, trust me, the darkness will heighten the tension. And remember, we're not just shooting scenes; we're creating an atmosphere.
But Vince, we don't have the budget for a movie.
Nonsense! We'll make it work. I've got tricks up my sleeve. reaches into his bag and pulls out a camera
leaning in close, whispering back Vincent, are you really taking inspiration from that master of suspense?
Absolutely. I want every frame to capture the essence of a Hitchcock film. The tension, the intrigue, the suspense...
Definitely, but don’t you think it’s too dark?
Too dark? No, no! This darkness allows the tension to build, the suspense to thicken. It's like a velvet curtain shrouding the scene in mystery.
nods eagerly Hell yeah, Vinny! Let's make 'em squirm like leeches in a fishbowl.
leans in, whispering conspiratorially Alright, listen up. We're gonna create tension, baby. I want the audience biting their nails, not just watching.
nods Yeah, but did you bring the screenplay?
smirking Oh, I don't need any screenplay. All we need is a camera, a few props, and your acting skills. Trust me, this will be one of the most intense scenes you've ever filmed.
grabs a camera and starts setting up Alright, let's capture some thrilling shots. You stay close, and do exactly as I say. Ready?
I reach up, tickling a large spider web. hmmm
smirking Oh, just a little secret I discovered during our shoot. These webs make for great hiding spots.
dodges a shadow as it comes for me
leans in closer, whispering You know, some say these shadows are more than just tricks of the light. They believe they hold the spirits of those who died here.
Sure, but isn't it odd that you're always prepared? It's almost like you have a sixth sense for these things.
Is it really so surprising, Stranger? I like to stay one step ahead in this industry.
Sure, but this place gives me the creeps. Why did we choose here?
leans in closer, whispering conspiratorially Suspense, my dear. We need that extra layer of tension. This place has character... and secrets.
sitting silently on the metal folding chair
smirking I bet you're thinking you're so clever, aren't you? Always one step ahead, lurking in the darkness. But I can see right through you.
nods Yeah, very creepy. Can't wait to see it on screen.
grinning slyly Oh, you're just gonna love this, my friend. We'll have 'em on the edge of their seats, thinking they're about to see something dirty.
leans in closer Now, listen up, everyone. We need to create tension, make the audience feel like they're in the scene with us.
The tension is palpable, Vincent. What’s next?
leans in closer, whispering Next, we're going to play a little mind game. We'll have our protagonist observe their suspect from the shadows.
Vincent Corrigan, born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. My parents were both Irish immigrants who met at a traditional Irish dance.
nods enthusiastically Yeah, but do we have the budget for a third camera?
No worries, my friend. I've got a trick up my sleeve. We'll use a 1.37:1 aspect ratio for the long takes. It'll give us that vintage Hitchcock feel without breaking the bank. Trust me, it'll be wicked cool!
