Mac 3 pitch for 2 minute film opening.



As mentioned in this video , we basically reiterated what was drawn on our story board. We run through what specific editing parts will be most difficult (the glitch) also the party lights are going to express her state of mind and what she is feeling. Just light the party lights are a bit all over the place, her mind is too. We are not too sure what our character is called yet but will make a later blog post introducing characters. 

Storyboard

Here is a visual representation of our storyboard with audio




We made a short clip of our storyboard and what order it will go in. i found that this past was very helpful as it gave all of our group and idea of how our opening sequence will potentially look.

Storyboard


As a group we have come together and have created a storyboard of our 2 minute film opening. The story follows a young girl at a party. Something happens but you are unaware of what has happened, you then follow her leaving the party. She passes by a girl when she leaves the flats and then runs down the steps takes and deep breath and then starts to run. The girl then stops and answers her phone and the screen will go blank and she says "I need your help."
 1. A pan shot of the outside of the flats , the lighting will be dark but not too dark that you won't be able to see anything.

2.The outside of the party, with the door slightly open so you are able to see the lights inside.

3.Lucy staring in the mirror in the bathroom this then follows her to the door and leaving the
bathroom.

4. Scenes 4&5 with alternate between each other as we are including a glitch to express the girls state of mind, this is also going to be portrayed through the use of lighting.

6.Lucy walks through the door and we will film the closed door from the outside for about 5 seconds.

7.We will use an overhead shot to film Lucy running down the stairs , but this is going to be a still frame.

8. Lucy then walks out of the door of the flats.

9. We will then film from the top of the stairs instead of the bottom and show Lucy walking down he stairs with her back to the camera.

10. A shot of Helin looking confused this coincides with scene 11 and this from Helins pov looking at Lucy at the bottom of the stairs.

12. Low angle shot of Lucy at the bottom of the stairs and taking a deep breath and taking off to run.

13. Dollying Lucy from behind while she is running.

14.A horizontal shot of Lucy running.

15. A close up of Lucy  still running but coming to a shot while her phone rings.

16. A blank screen with Lucy panting and saying "I need your help."

The Art Of The Title

 The Art Of The Title 
Using the art of the title i was able to find a whole load of title sequences that show key concepts that we want to include in our 2 minute film opening. The use of lighting is very important as we want to film in a blue light atmosphere. We also want to use fluorescent and alternating lights as this fits in with our 'party' theme. the use of low-key light will really help the lights and tense atmosphere be appropriate. The way the titles are situated in Drive is something we as a group would like to incorporate as they are very minimal. As a group we decided to keep the titles simple but we do want to place them cleverly in our film opening. Eg: on a shelf or situated on a mirror.
