The Prelim - Ugliest Jumper Ever

The Preliminary Exercise

This is our preliminary exercise, which we called Ugliest Jumper Ever. The aim was to create a sequence demonstrating good continuity techniques, and had to show match on action, shot/reverse-shot, and the 180-degree rule. The brief stated that it had to be 30 seconds long, and comprise of a character opening a door, crossing a room, and sitting down in a chair opposite another character with whom s/he exchanges a few lines of dialogue.

Individual Treatment

Film Opening Idea:

Basic Plot - it's coming up to Valentine's Day, and police have noticed connections in a series of murders. They don't know it yet, but the killer is a young woman whose boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend - she's out for revenge and goes out killing unsuspecting beautiful young women whom she sees as threats. The girlfriend of the detective working on the case is killed on Valentine's Day, when he was going to propose to her...

Opening - the killer is getting ready to go out - at this time the audience thinks she's going to be going out clubbing or whatever - there is cross-cutting to a girl who's been out and is coming home, has left her friends, is walking down an alleyway quickly... the killer comes up behind her (this would be a subjective tracking shot) and puts her hand over her mouth as the camera cuts to a CU of the victim and we see the face of the first girl (killer) behind her.
