Group - Ideas For Our Opening From Research

Here are some ideas we have for our film opening after conducting research...

• Blurred shots in order to create a sense of confusion which is a main part of our concept so would work well.
• Bourne Supremacy- The idea of the dream being in a montage which would be an effective way to form and structure our opening.
• The use of handicam in order to connote the idea of disorientation of the main character.
• Black swan- The sound used in the black swan trailer is really effective and is something we would like to use in our opening. Gradual build up of tension until a scream sound.
• Colour wash from looking at vantage point, we would like to use a darker colour wash to create a sense of the UN known.
• We have decide to challenge gender stereotypes and use only female characters
• Vantage point- Montage of shapes to create a sense of confusion and fitting pieces of a puzzle together.
• A shot in the bath from the black swan opening, we found this shot really effective and are going to try and create a similar shot within our opening.
• Film noir ideas- we like the idea of the Venetian blinds and are considering using this in our concept, we also like the idea of low key lighting as a means of creating a sense of tension.
• We would also like to use quick cuts in the transitions of our shots in order to create a sense of action and tension as well as the unknown.
