the host / the host
- the host - director cooking stew for speculative scenes
the guests / the parasites
- specualtive scenes - talk (of the host) from behind the camera
which camera lens?
- Is it a combination of camera approaches?
- Is it a simple handheld DV camera? This could help overlap with Paranormal movies (like Blair Witch) lending it a certain authenticity
- A wide lens for the indoor scenes and a more narrow lens for the outdoors? Or go even wider with the outdoors to reference surveillance.
RESEARCH IDEAS
- food related internet conspiracies
RECEE
