Animatic

Here is the animatic for our storyboard -





We did this so we were able to have an example of what we want our sequence to look like, and to show it to others so we can find areas of improvement.

SCARY EFFECTS-MAKES CLIP LOOK MYSTERIOUS

Extra Ideas

We've added ideas to our originial plan -

Instead of just one long clip, we'd added-

1 clip (in amongst the camera zooming out) of a close-up of the bodies eyes. Some opening titles appear across the scene.

2nd clip - a close-up of the bodies arm, another titles appears across

last clip - film title -

OCCULT

New Film Idea

We're not doing the originial idea anymore -

First - Image of A bath full of blood - The blood covers the whole camera clip

Second - Image of a man in the bath becomes clearer

Third - even clearer etc....the blood becomes clearer (back to water)

ALL THE SAME CLIP - PLAYS BACKWARDS

End clip - Blood completely clear - just water. You can see the persons face much clearer. Man comes 'back to life', leaps up from the water and takes a breathe

IN REVERSE

Camera gets further away as the clip progresses

idea came from -




'Memento'

Our Opening Idea

Our current idea for a thriller opening -

- Camera angle wide from far away - a body is lying in a dump/abandoned area

- Seems as if the person is dead

- The camera zooms into the body, it's not moving so you assume he's dead

- The camera zooms to a close-up of the man's face

- Instantly the man opens his eyes (WIDE)

- There is a sequence of very short flashbacks of him either torturing someone or someone torturing him

OR

a sequence of short flashbacks where you don't gain mcuh information of what's happening in the flashback, only that they have an effect on him (eg.he jumps back before each flashback)

Example of Student Opening Title

This is an example of a student opening thriller title.

It starts with a long clip of what seems to be blood running down something - we know that this was blue ink dripping in a bath tub, and the colour was changed to red when editing. Each time we see the blood it's introducing a title, for exampl director.

It quickly cups to a number of shorts lips of a girl being tortured. We aren't told who she is, who is torturing her or why. The close ups are so close we don't even know the location - VERY MYSTERIOUS.

The only mise-en-scene are the two characters, who aren't introduced clearly.

The theme music creates a very good sense of tension. It doesn't follow a specific format/tempo - very slow. Without the music it was not be as scary. When the girl is being tortured you can here some diegtic sounds of her screaming .
