Assessment 5 - Pitch Ideas

  My idea for my opening sequence is based on a kidnap over jealousy. The kidnapper will wear gloves to hide their identity. We are going to film in a garage, or type of shed. This is where most of the filming will take place as we are using a lot of close ups. The close ups will be of tools with blood on them, eyes for facial expressions and show how the victim is feeling.  We will use cut away shots from the kidnap scene to the scene the garage to give the audience an idea of what is going on, but not give it away totally. The beginning scene, and the flash backs will be filmed in a dark wood or forest, this will be the place were the girl is being kidnapped, the first scene in the forest will be filmed as if we can see the victims point of view and we are going to use a hand held camera effect.

The props we will need will be things like tools, such as knives and saws etc.  We will also need some fake blood to use on the props to look as if they have been used to torture the victim. 

The kidnapper will wear quite plain, old clothes so if any fake blood gets onto them it wont matter as much. The kidnapper will wear gloves to try and conceal the identity and add mystery to it.

We will use low-key lighting to keep to the conventions of a horror film and make it look dark and scary, this will also add mystery to it.  

We will use incidental sound to create tension within the scene and we will use lots of heavy breathing to also increase the tension. Especially in the flashback scenes.To show the title of the film we will splatter blood onto a surface as if  it is coming from the victim and then the title will appear over it when we edit the sequence.
