Precedent Research is an experimental horror film made to scare the viewer, and expand the small genre of VHS horror. This film is also a way of appreciation for all of the small creators that expand the genre. We want to elicit fear through no cheap jumpscares, using only the stress one gets from the feeling that something is wrong and you can’t quite put your finger on it. The main way we're showing this is through the feeling of liminality, where a space or object feels familiar, yet there is something off., as well as making the film close to the present with the use of AI and religion. By the end of this project, we will have a final film that makes viewers uncomfortable, and an ARG/internet scavenger hunt that drives the viewer into the experience.
