As a group there are specific things we want to include in our thriller opening. Most of these decisions have made during the process of planning and filming, however there are also idea's we have thought of from the beginning and before the filming started.
For example, we knew as soon as we began planning the scene and started the storyboard we quickly decided that half of the opening would be in black and white, whereas the other half would be in regular colour. We wanted this contrast to emphasise the two different locations that we filmed in and we believe having one scene in black and white will fit with the dream-like, disorientating atmosphere. In addition, the other section of the opening will be in colour which will satisfy viewers eyes with the natural, nature colours that we have in the wooded area from the sky, the tree's and leaves.
Furthermore, we also discussed from the beginning that we didn't want any on screen sound and that there was going to be a voice over for the whole opening with some added Foley sounds, only if they fit well when we start editing each shot.
Throughout filming we then thought of transitions we could use, such as fade, wipe's, cuts and dissolves. overall we all agreed that fade will work well with one half of the opening because it is a slow paced, relaxed scene therefore it keeps that feeling. Whereas for the other hand of it we want it to be fast paced and shocking, therefore we want sharp cuts and possibly quick dissolves between shots.
We knew from the start that we wanted all shots to intertwine with each other because we didn't want two completely separate parts to the opening, although we want a difference between the two, we also would like it to all work together.
good
