I’m Creating My Own Analog Horror Through Pictures and Dialogue
I have started my own analog horror series online. I’m not an expert by any means. I don’t have any idea what I’m doing. I have no clue how to create an analog video with animation or soundtrack. So, I came up with my own concept. I am creating an analog horror with only pictures and dialogue.
I have uploaded two videos so far on YouTube. At first, I had a lot of doubt with what I wanted to do with this mini project. I did it for fun, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to continue with it. I think I was bored with showing images with music. I felt like something was missing, and my passion was lost after the first month.
I had already made the second video, but I kept hesitating with uploading it. I ended up making my second official YouTube video six months later. Instead, this one had dialogue. I decided to do my own voice acting. I recorded myself on Microsoft PowerPoint, since that was is the only piece of technology I know how to use. It worked in my favor.
I did not bother with a script; I feel that the best dialogue in analog horror or found footage is through an improvised script. I had a lot of fun with it, and I was proud of the result. I sounded like a confused young woman questioning her situation, wondering what the hell was really going on.
I’m a terrible actor, so I don’t know how to be scared when I was talking about one particular photo I discovered when I broke into someone’s house. (I know this is out of context, but don’t worry, I didn’t actually do it). I kept using cuss words and trying very hard to express doubt and confusion when I was discussing that one photo, so I hope I did the best of my non — acting ability.
I did not think I would enjoy it to this degree, so I can’t wait to upload more videos later. I’m planning to upload a video of myself on Monday.
Without showing my face, not because I’m self — conscious, but because I don’t like to show my face on YouTube. Don’t want my family or friends to find me on there, lol.
I think I’m going to do a slow burn horror story. It’s really fun so far, and the voice acting is definitely the best part of this for me. That’s exactly what my videos were missing, and I can’t wait to continue my mini horror story.
It’s a missing person/murder mystery tale.
Very curious to see how far I will go through with the story. Again, I’m not an expert, so it won’t be the best content.
However, if I’m having fun with it, then it’s worth it! :D
Oh, and here is a quick summary for the story.
“I’m an average twenty something year old woman wanting to investigate my small town of Aubreyville. Some weird shit happened here 39 years ago, back in the 1980s. Too many missing people along with a murder case. Are all they connected?”
Thank you for reading!
