Planning Opening scene Narration

Opening scene Narration

The scene starts with a dark isolated location where a shadow appears gradually. There is a high camera angle which will show the audience that the female walking alone in a large space is very vulnerable with the use of the high camera angle.There will be dark low key lighting which will give the audience a chilled response with a mid shot of the female victim walking away into the dark walk way.

Then a fade to black edit will be used as the scene progresses and an establishing shot is shown to the audience the location which is the house of the female victim, which she will enter later on in the scene. When the female victim enters the house a point of view shot will be used as the victim gets her keys out and opens the door a stares down the dark hallway. When the victim walks through the hallway and enters her room and drops down onto the bed tired there will be a zoom on to her face and a close up on the face as the victims falls asleep. The female victim wakes up and and another point of view shot is used to show that the victim is scanning the room. The a jump shot will be used when the female victim walks out of the room and them it will show the female victim walking at the landing of the stairs. The camera is on the floor level when it shows the female victim walking into the kitchen.A tilt shot is used when the victim turns on the tap a shot is shown and the water is running when the victim looks out at the garden door she sees a dark figure its unclear who it is or even if there is someone standing there the shot will a point of view shot showing the audience what the victim sees distorted vision. The glass is left on the table by the victim and on the glass the reflection of on the glass the victim is really scared and runs up stairs and whilst she is running upstairs she drops the glass and slow motion editing is used to show the glass dropping and breaking. This symbolises the peak of the action the action will burst.

The twist in the thriller is that as the female victim wakes when the glass shatters it shows the audience that the victim was in fact dreaming but now she is awake and she sees the antagonist standing on the edge of her bed. This will scare the audience as the victims suspicions in the dream that someone was there will come true. Also the element that is used in the thriller that dreams come true will scare the audience as it shows a nightmare coming true.

The antagonist identity is hidden as the antagonist will be standing in the darkest place in the room. The antagonist will also have dark costume and low camera which will be used to make the antagonist look in control and dominant.

At the end when the audience are left with the cliff hanger as they have found out that the victim was dreaming and now the antagonist standing on the edge of her bed is a reality. Also the audience are left fearing about what happened to the victim the audience will think that has the victim been killed or tortured.

  1. Good description of your final scene, more good evidence of planning. I do think though that you may need to add more to the scene itself to meet the 2 minutes requirement and think of other ways to thrill your audience apart from the end...?
