We have begun to mind map and think of ideas for our thriller 2 minute film sequence.
One of our ideas and our favourite one so far was the idea of the blitz in the underground, having a small girl looking for her mother in the tube station in London, using ideas of the layering and scratchy frames in seven we wanted to have this theme showing short sharp flash frames of this ghostly girl, me and my group made a PowerPoint to show off some of our beginning idea's...
However throughout our idea planning we came to a few obstacles that were some impassable, the price of the location and time on our hands, we came to the conclusion that with a much more simpler set we could concentrate on the mise on scene using props and then have our sound and set looking simpler. To do this we had to however change the location idea that we had originally planned, instead or a tube station we thought an old shelter in the time of the blitz, therefore still keeping our blitz idea but creating a simpler way of doing this.
The flaw in our plan was the plot, we had concentrated too hard on location and not enough on what the 2 minutes is going to consist of.
the idea we came up with was still involving a little girl and still involving the spooky ghostly feel to her, however we decided to begin our sequence with the blitz period happening and her alive writing in her diary, showing a lot of shot extreme close up shots of the things she is doing in this shelter. Then the bombing and sound effects of World War 2 end the first section of the sequence opening in modern day as a man with a torch breaks into the shelter. Using a tracking shot, everything that was once there is still there but in a wreck with blood splattered on the war time posters. we see flickers of this girl as he moves the torch around but he doesn’t see this, leaving the audience confused whether they saw what they thought they did, to finish the sequence we see the girl clearly and the torch is dropped and smashed as we fade to a black out. Then in type writer the title of the film to come 'BLITZ' is then shown. We also want to incorporate titles within the story, for example, in newspaper articles etc as well.
this is our now final beginning idea of our two minute film sequence thriller.
