The Main Task

Blink Murder is the name we gave to the film that we made the opening sequence for as part of our main task. The brief was to create a 2 minute opening sequence for a film of any genre, including titles and a soundtrack, with no copyrighted materials.

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.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changeeees!!

Yes, our idea has, once again, changed!! Well, not the idea so much, but the shots in the opening. It will have the same premise - the audience will see the killer getting ready - but it will be a lot more ambiguous and ominous, because we're going to have a lot of 'sudden's (as we decided to call them because we don't know if there's a proper term for it... see group blog) and the titles and ooh I'm rather excited, and I'm really hoping that this will work because we've re-storyboarded the whole thing quite enough!
This also means there'll be a lot more variety - the pace will be slowed considerably with the housemate shots, although I'm a little bit concerned if we don't do it right it will just be really stilted and confusing. However, I do really love the idea and hopefully we can make it work - we're going to do more with lighting which will have an impact, and a lot will rest on the editing (adding effects etc.).
What needs to be done:
- get red lipstick
- find music/make music
- construct a new shooting script
- make sure props are organised!
