In this riveting episode of Film Riot, the team delves into the spine-chilling world of horror filmmaking, dissecting their short film "There Comes a Knocking." With Halloween looming, they unmask their regrets about a crucial aspect of the film's conclusion. The discussion centers around a misstep in the placement of the creature, robbing the audience of a hair-raising scare. They candidly admit that the overused jump scare tactic fell short of their expectations, opting for a more gradual, suspenseful approach instead.
Despite this misstep, the team showers praise on the cast and crew for their exceptional work on the film. They emphasize the importance of learning from failures, citing the ending shot of "There Comes a Knocking" as a pivotal lesson in their filmmaking journey. Drawing a sharp contrast with their previous success in "Ballistic," they highlight the profound impact of a single shot on the overall narrative. This introspective analysis underscores the team's commitment to growth and improvement in their craft.
Amid speculations about the future of Film Riot due to a decrease in episodes, the team sets the record straight, assuring fans that they are not fading into obscurity. They attribute the scaled-back content to burnout and a shift towards larger projects with Adobe and other ventures. Teasing upcoming projects, including features and comics, the team hints at a renewed focus on engaging with their filmmaking community. With plans for a career update episode and a new podcast on the horizon, Film Riot invites viewers to join them on an exciting journey filled with twists, turns, and cinematic delights.
