Two minute breakdown

This is a list of our opening sequence broken down into a ten second description. We included about props, costume, location, dialogue and the storyline. This rough guide may not go exactly to the second once we have filmed but this is a good guideline to follow.

1-10; the first 5 seconds will begin a black screen and our ident will fade in, the music will begin a slow beat. The next few seconds will be the girl walking down the empty corridor, in everyday clothing, natural lighting from the windows near by shining in. At this time the atmosphere is beginning to kick in. For this shot our camera will be mounted on a tripod at long shot.
11-20; As the man appears behind the girl, a freeze frame of this scene will be shown, credits will appear and creep of the screen. As the girl turns, the man has vanished. While the freeze frame is on screen the music will be a sudden bass, giving impact on the action. This is all at long shot, however once the man has gone and the girl turns, it will be a close up of her face showing a reaction shot.

21-30; An image of a clean shiney knife will flash up at during our sequence, this prop will be a close up shot. As the girl continues to walk down the corridor, she gets paranoid, the atmosphere is heightened. She backs up against the wall, credits appearing during freeze frames. She slides down the wall in fear.

31-40; This next scene will begin of the girl jogging through a field, close up of her feet at first, her pass getting faster, beginning to run. The music becomes more intense and the beat increases. Camera angle will be a long shot to a medium. She will run past the camera. The soundtrack will stop and you will be able to hear her breath.

41-50; Flickering of the man appearing behind the girl yet again while the drama is happening. Flashes of the knife appear, and a photograph of the girl and man together, looking happy.

51-60;
The girl runs into the shed, a dark room she enters, using a match on action shot we will show her entering from the outside. Her up against the door scared. In the next few seconds the girl will be in the fettle position. Her make up ruined and hair messy, a close up of her eye, tears of blood dribbling down her face.

61-70;
while the girl is sitting in the spotlight suddenly a knife will appear in her hand she panics and jumps with shock. close up of knife and hand both covered in blood. using a spotlight will enhance in the intensity of the girls emotions.

71-80; A sudden clip of man walking towards camera closing in on the audience creating atmosphere. the guy will also be walking in an angry manor, looking straight at the camera. This shot goes into a close up of the guys face from a full body shot. The next scene is located in a grave yard, of the girl running....

81-90; as the girl runs past the camera, the man appears and begins to chase her. All you hear is heaving breathing and footsteps, rustling from the twigs snapping on the ground. It lighting will be dark showing depth to our opening sequence.

91-100; As the girl is running the man the man getting closer. The camera is handheld, wobbling about. the music is at a low volume as to emphasis the girls breathing and running

101-110;
The girl is cowering behind a grave stone. The man appears behind the girl, the opposite side of the gravestone, slowing walking up. The girl is muttering to herself, paniking, looking around feeling venerable.

111-120;
Build up of tense music he walks around the side of the side of the gravestone the girl spots him and begging even further with flashes of the knife appearing on screen then title of the thriller "Loose Control" then flash of the knife again but with blood

    Overall, a good blog; we would like to point out that the narrative is a bit jumpy. It doesn't seem to keep track; the part where, the female is running in the field jumps from the prior shot which has nothing to do with it.

    Good ideas for the thriller though, we can tell that it meets the criteria for the genre.
