Main Task Shot List 2

This is our final idea...

- Long shot (of surroundings)

- Medium shot (light flashing on and off)

- Extreme Close up (of the notebook)

- Hand held camera (by the villain to create a horror and tense atmosphere )

- Medium shot (of thevictim walking through the frame)

- Medium shot (the victim walking towards the camera)

- Eyeline match (showing the trees behind the victim)

- Close-up (on the victim's facial expression as she turns around)

- Medium shot (of the villain's shadow)

- Close-up (hand held camera/shaky of the victim's feet to show anxiety and fear)

- Hand held and close up shot (of hand on tree)

- Panning shot (used to circulate the victim tied-up on the tree)

- Close-up (of the victim's facial expression looking away from the camera shows that she is helpless and has surrended to the villain.)

Location Shots

This picture represent the overview of our film that such crime can be carried out in the open air, therefore we thought it would be valuable to post on our blog.
This is where some of the hostage scenes will filmed.

This medium shot picture is the opening shot of our film because the details creates an eerie atmosphere that we want to achieve.

Animated Key-props and Make-up

Animated Main task story boards

This is our original idea (story board 1) almost the over view of the whole story of the main task, however few changes, rather new ideas have been brought up whlist exploring different shots and storylines. This is better shown in the following animated storyboard...


This is story board 2 which is supposed to be accurate as it consist of detailed shots that we are likely to include in the two minutes film but most importantly it shows key props.

Main Task Shot List 1

This was out first idea...

. Long shot – showing the setting and surroundings.

. From the long shot moving into the trees – Hand held camera, as a point of view shot.

. 360 degree track around the tree and tied up hostage.

. Close up of hostages face – showing eyeliner down her face, tape across her mouth and a feared look in her eyes.

. Eye line match looking at the hostage from the ‘helper’s’ point of view.

. Medium shot of ‘helper’ seeing and asking if the hostage is ok – hostage is shaking her head and trying to speak through the tape across her face.

. Close up of the helper untying the hostage’s hands behind the tree.

. Camera flips to view the kidnapper filing the action, from the point of view of the helper – medium shot – giving the signal to the hostage to carry on acting like a hostage.

. Medium shot of helpers face – in shock and confused and takes hands off the rope and puts them in the air.

. Close up of ‘kidnappers’ face laughing as everything is revealed to the helper – (editing note) freezes and shows name.

. Close up of helpers face – shocked – (editing note) freezes and show name.

. Close up of hostage’s face – ripping the tape off and smiling – (editing note) freezes and show name.

Inspiration from ‘Dead Set’

The TV series/film expresses a lot of elements that we would like to put into our film opening sequence. It’s a horror, thriller and drama based film that also contains a lot of realism and some comedy. The way the make up and horror is portrayed in this film is what we would like to add to ours.
