Opening sequence to a thriller: Ideas

Idea 1

The film: Two friends that always play an xbox zombie game together every Friday night discover that the game is an alternative reality and find out that they are playing theirselves. (unclear) 

Opening scene: (Like a flash forward to give the audience an idea of what to expect) Starts off in a basement where two characters are being attacked by zombies and all they have is handguns to defend themselves. One person runs out of ammo and is on the verge of dying. The other person is trying to save him in tears. It’s a really emotional, sad moment but then it pans out and two friends are playing zombies and one of the characters in the game is dying. The two friends are joking about it. 

Idea 2

The film: Zombie apocalypse film. 1 person left in the world and the zombies are getting hungry. It;s not long before they start to die out but the last couple 1000 zombies find where he lives. 

Opening scene: Jump cuts of the person doing post apocalyptic things and a title flickers day 1 - 2 - 3 all the way to 1000 that is left on the screen and then under “…it zombies left on the earth” into, 1 man left on the earth. We then see shots of him running to barricade the doors up as the zombies try to get through and then it goes to black and you hear him say “no” under his breath so you don’t know weather the zombies broke in or not. 




Idea 3

The film: (based on a true event) A priest from the local town church takes a 11 year old girl that he regularly baby sits whilst she goes to meet her friends. He finds a remote location in the woods and rapes her and then kills her by strangling her with some rope. 

Opening scene: POV of the police officer searching for the body through the woods at night getting more and more tense throughout the scene by using anti climaxes like someone running but its just the leaves in the wind etc…








Idea 4 

The film: The CIA (or government) are searching for a man that stole information from them. They find him but he always escapes. The chase continues all over the world but they never catch him etc. 


Opening scene: The man is in the cafe of a hotel he is staying in. The fire alarm goes off and everyone evacuates. The people that evacuate everyone are actually the CIA and stop him when he tries to leave. Then theres a fight sequence and he takes off. It the cuts to the title and dramatic music plays in.

Analysing sound in a scene from Shutter Island

Image
In this essay I will be analysing the sound in a scene from Shutter Island. Martin Scorsese uses multiple sound techniques in order to show the audience specific themes in this scene and to give them an idea on what to look out for.  The sound pattern in the scene:  Classical music:  Start: Contrapuntal, non-diegetic sound - Parallel, diegetic sound -  Contrapuntal, non-diegetic sound  Middle: Parallel, diegetic sound - Parallel, non-diegetic sound, Contrapuntal diegetic sound - Parallel, diegetic sound  End: Contrapuntal diegetic sound - Parallel, diegetic sound. As the Teddy and Chuck are showed in to the office of Dr Crawley we start to hear classical music fade in. We then see a high angle shot of the building as the music gets louder transitioning into the indoors scene. From this we can assume it was used as a sound bridge to keep the scene flowing and catch the audiences attention as the scene progresses. After some dialogu...

Similar Products - Mura Masa - What If I Go? (Music Video)

The 'What if I go?' music video shares many of the same aspects that we aim to have for our music video and we have partially shaped our music video concept from this. The idea of youth culture in London is something that I feel is important and get's mis-interpreted a lot of time. This video breaks away from this and the viewers get an insight of what it's really like to be a part of the London youth culture. It also explores young love with the flirtatious couples in the video. The video has a very raw, gritty feel to it. It doesn't seem set up and has a genuine feel to it. This combined with the way the video has been shot and the aesthetics each shot leaves the viewers with a very clear and accurate idea of what the London youth is about. It's clear that the outfits that the people are wearing are clothes they wear everyday and haven't been asked to wear something that they feel uncomfortable in. It's also very clear that they are comfortable...

Finding our concept - Idea 2

Image
At first we decided to use t a combination of ideas for our 2nd concept however since then we have coe up with something completely  different to our last idea. This is what we had came up with before, heres a brief description  Aidan had wrote on his blog. "After combining our two previous ideas into one, we were now left wi a large gap to fill. This was a whole second idea we had to come up with and further develop. We took a lot more time thinking about this idea and making it different enough from the first one. However in the end we had decided on a final idea. Our second idea would incorporate my silhouette idea, and Mima’s animation idea. It would be a much more simple idea as it would involve only a rapper in the studio. He would be on a green screen that we would turn white or possibly just a white background and be rapping and dancing etc. Similarly to Bruno Mars’ music video of “That’s what I like” small animations would be around him or on him. Possibly ...
