This is a vague initial brainstorm for our movie opening sequence.

Locations.

0We are planning to film our opening scene in 2 main locations. Our first location needs to be inside and preferably with a Corridor that leads in to a bedroom. Our second location is going to be outside on a fairly long street. For these reasons, we have chosen firstly to film in East Farndon for the inside shots. Secondly, we have decided to film outside parts in Rugby.

1.) East Farndon.

2.) Rugby.

Order/PlotOur ‘Bold Eye Production’ splash will be shown first, followed by the title’s on a plain

black background (like 3 out of my 4 deconstructions). So far, there will be no music as we want our titles to be the focus.

The camera will then use a tracking shot to travel down a creepy, corridor in darkness and end up in the characters bedroom, it is at this point that we will add some sound to build up the tension. As a group, we decided to use a zooming shot because nearly all of our deconstructions favoured it in order to create an eerie, unnerving effect on the audience.

Next, the camera will dramatically, suddenly switch to other symbolic shots, for instance, a regular ticking clock to symbolise the passing off time. The camera will continuously flick between puzzling, unclear shots leading to confusion. I found out from my deconstructions that all of the opening 2 minutes I studied, were disorientating to the audience in some way; this is why we’ve decided to stick with this theme. We especially wanted our character to be alone in this opening sequence as this reoccurred throughout our opening deconstructions and it allowed the audience to focus purely on what that specific character is experiencing. Then, we will show the character running, we will not make clear what the character is running from as it is psychological and it may, in fact, be nothing!
