Final idea for production piece

After discussing our ideas, me and my partner Jessica Turner came to a conclusion in what to put in our final media production piece for the opening of a film opening. We have kept our fixed start idea, although came to a conclusion upon the dream featured within the video. On top of this, we have decided that the genre of our film is in fact a psychological thriller, rather than full on thriller. I will sum up the term of psychological thriller upon my next blog.
Following is our media finale idea:

Fixed Start:

  1. Starts off black and fades to a medium shot of window
  2. Pans right (slowly) along a bookshelf
  3. Just ambient sound - possibly owls, crickets - typical nighttime sounds. Credits begin to show (probably in white, to contrast low-key lighting of shot)
  4. Same shot, pans to end of wall and stops then pans to left gradually. The camera will then tilt towards the bed, showing an individual asleep
  5. A cut of a close up of alarm clock on bedside table - lasts approximately 4 seconds, lingering and foreboding. This is to emphasize the time and the silence as we hear the clock ticking
  6. Cut of camera from windowsill - high angle shot - of persons face in bed. The person will move in their sleep
  7. An aerial shot of person asleep
  8. Non-diegetic narrative of individual - sleeper's - speech over the top of the shot, as she begins to describe dreams. She will talk for about 15-20 seconds whilst stating how she thought the dreams were normal at first, then gradually weird, but then became recurrent
  9. The camera will return to windowsill or bedside table, showing her repeating part of routine every night - e.g. change of pajamas, turning over in bed, putting cream on her hands, taking her make up off or plumping her pillows. This shows her usual routine before bed, as well as how the dreams got to her every night even though some things were different/same in her every day life
  10. A shot-reverse-shot of the previous birds eye view of her asleep, as this dissolves into her bizarre dreams

Dream:

  1. Different shot types of girl in red hood in different locations
  2. Close up of hands with object in hands and slowly zooms out to reveal girl in medium shot
  3. Girls face is hidden by hood apart from an evil smirk
  4. Cut in of object in hand and lets it go in slow motion
  5. Medium/long shot of falling object in slow motion
  6. Montage of freaky shots
  7. High angle shot of object in slow motion, smashing
  8. Really fast montage
  9. Object smashed with blood close-up, from an high aerial shot
  10. Scene changes to a bedroom - shaky left motion, jump cut to shaky right, jump cut to shaky left - gradually nearing mesh object on bed, with shadow over the top. We cut to an extreme close up of red-hooded girls face, appearing freaky. Then a cut of dreamer waking up from an aerial shot appearing shocked
