From our brainstorm, we all came up with inspiration of numberous storylines, props, and characters. This was great as beforehand we thought it would be hard to come up with an idea we would all like. We all thought in great detail about the editing techniques and camera angles we could take full advantage of to help suit our chosen genre of a horror/thriller opening sequence.
SYNOPSIS-
From our brainstorm, we formed a basic outline of how our storyline would go;
A young adult girl wakes up in the early hours of the morning in a woods, hair and make-up all messy and rough, looks hungover and down. She has flashbacks whilst waking up, quick shots flash across the screen, then a fast rewind of shots from the evening before cut across the screen. Then we cut to the start of her evening. She takes drugs the night before whilst out at a party, she ends up alone and isolated from everyone else and goes wondering into a near woods. We watch her turn from high, giggly and happy to paranoid, jumpy and scared. We see all of this from the girls perspective and overview of the scenario and make her appear to become vulnerable and unable to control her state of mind. The clip ends with the girl running and panting through the woods looking back behind her as if someone is following her.
When discussing the camera shots that would be used, we came to the idea of using basic standard shots and angles for when the girl is on a high, but then when she becomes paranoid, have the camera at distorted angles and use more close up and point of view shots to emphasis her emotions and terror. We also decided to use these angles to create a wierd/ strange ambience to the opening sequence, which would emphasise our chosen genre.
