Detailed timeline of finalised idea

This is a detailed timeline explaining the each 10 second segment for the two minutes in our thriller opening. It explains the props, location, dialogue, music and shot types and how they follow the conventions of a thriller.

At the beginning, we will show our ident but as we haven't finished animating it, we will see how time goes towards the end of our project before to see whether we have time to make our ident.

0-10 seconds
Our thriller will begin with tracking shot, where the camera is very slowly moving into a room and it will curve around the room to reveal the photos on the wall and a glimpse of Lewis standing there looking at the photos. Lewis will be wearing a suit to emphasis his business-like and ambitious character. The props included in this part will be the photos and images displayed on the wall.
11-20 seconds
After 10 seconds the part from above will continue as the camera will be moving slowly to enhance the mysterious approach in order to fit with the conventions of a thriller. The camera will then jump cut to another part of the room, this will be a long shot in which the photos will be shown from another angle. The music played at this point will be really slow and have a low-beat that will suit the movement of the camera, this will build the tension and add suspense to the atmosphere we would like to portray.
21-30 seconds
A medium shot of the camera skimming over the images so that the audience have a closer view of the photos in order to introduce the themes in the thriller. On the left side of the screen the audience will be able to see the side of Lewis's face - this will add a mysterious approach as the audience will have been introduced to the main character but not fully. The music here will be fairly quiet and relate to the fast-paced movement of the camera.
31-40 seconds
As the camera movement slows down it will focus onto one photo (a photo of Bronte) the camera will zoom in to signify her importance in the narrative. The music played at this point will change from the existing music to highlight the importance of this part. As this is happening Lewis hand will appear as he aggressively rips the photo off the wall.
41-50 seconds
Another close-up will appear of Lewis hesitantly and slowly putting the photo into his wallet. The music will become louder and the pace will become faster to create an atmosphere to relate to the themes. The location will still be in the same room as the beginning but as it is a close-up the surrounding won't be important. There will be a sudden jump cut to Bronte sitting at a bus stop, therefore the audience can see the relation between the photos and the the next part of the footage. Bronte will be dressed as though she is going to a Halloween party. There is a change in location at this point from the room to a bus stop - this will be a long shot in order for the audience to establish the location and to see the next main character Bronte. In order to make the scene look more realistic and authentic Jess will also be standing at the bus stop dressed in an outfit for Halloween. The atmosphere here is fairly ordinary.
51-60 seconds (1 minute)
There will be an over the shoulder shot from Lewis's point of view of him removing the photo of Bronte from his wallet, while in the background the audience will be able to see Bronte waiting at the bus stop. This will emphasises the mysterious and suspicious approach.
61-70 seconds
The camera then returns to a long shot of Lewis walking casually along the the street, we will have exaggerated footstep to make him appear powerful. He will be dressed in a suit to give the impression that he is on his way home from work. The suit gives a sense that he is a well-presented and well-respected business man. At this point we will use match on action in order for the audience to see more than one angle of the main character. The music at this point will add dramatic effect so that Lewis's importance in the narrative and to make this part of the opening significant.
71-80 seconds
This continues during this section and the audience will then see Bronte again waiting at the bus stop. A long shot will then show Lewis walking past Bronte to emphasise the suspicious approach in the opening that will follow the conventions of a thriller. Lewis makes eye-contact at Bronte and then walk past to add a dramatic effect.
81-90 seconds
The audience then see Lewis turn back round and start walking back to where Bronte is, there is a pan shot of Lewis walking closer to Bronte, this is where the dialogue is going to begin. As the conversation between Lewis and Bronte starts, we will use shot reverse shot to display both of the character talking. Lewis's personality will appear to be confident yet dark and mysterious. Whereas Bronte's reaction will appear weary and uncertain.
91-100 seconds
The conversation continues, as there is a shot reverse shot there will be a low angle shot facing Lewis to highlight his dominance and authority. In contrast, there will be a high angle shot of Bronte to display her weakness. Towards the end of the conversation Lewis begins to become impatient and walks away. As Lewis walks away and he appears off screen, a pan shot from Bronte's perspective to see an empty bus stop.
101-110 seconds
She begins to look away still waiting for the bus stop. Here the music becomes more intense to signify to the audience that something is going to happen, however Bronte will appear oblivious to the situation. Lewis will then reappear in a mask even though Bronte is unaware of Lewis's actions.
111-120 seconds (2 minutes)
As Bronte is sitting there the camera zooms into a close-up in order to make the audience unable to see what is happening elsewhere, in order to enhance the suspicious approach. As Lewis sits beside Bronte the camera zooms out. He speaks to Bronte and Bronte turns her head in shock. The music will be a high beat and fast paced to make it seem intense and then it ends...
