Blink Murder

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.

Shooting - Friday & Saturday 5+6/12/08

The shoots went well - seeing as we had to start again getting shots we had quite a bit to do, but we got a lot of the ECUs and CUs done as well as the 'knife pan' (the pan of the drawer across to the knife), and after everyone left on Friday I captured some random noises we can use for foley, like turning book pages, clattering makeup and stuff around, sharpening eyeliner etc. We also thought we could use the sound of the wind chimes that we were going to use in our original opening - we wouldn't want the footage to go to waste! We still have a lot to shoot but hopefully it should all go well, especially as these couple of weeks are super-busy.
We still need to shoot:
-housemate going upstairs
-crane HA shot of same thing/walking in hall
-opening door, match-on-action shots
-shot/reverse-shot: conversation with killer
-killer picking up knife
