Idea for camera movement when the photos are on wall and credits idea



Unfortunately when Jess filmed this clip above, she didn't turn off her front room lights, so they aren't suppose to be there and are not actually included in the clip. The sections of people dying in this clip are irrelevant to our thriller opening, as we are focusing on the other aspects included in this clip.

The focus of this clip is to concentrate on the camera movement that occurs when the camera displays the newspaper clippings on the wall. We chose this film as inspiration for the camera movement at the 'photos on the wall' part for our thriller as the portrayal of the atmosphere at this point is something we would like to pursue. Having been influenced by the camera movement here, we would use a pan shot similar to the panshot on this clip, the camera would move very fast-paced to create a chaotic feel and confusion for the audience and then it would suddenly stop and freeze on an image long enough for the audience to identify what the photo is of, before chaotically moving again. The variation in the speed of the camera movement we thought would work particualrly well to create an atmosphere that follows the conventions of a thriller. This would be by building tension and creating suspense at this point, as well as engaging the audience with the themes in our thriller opening.

At this point, our idea is to intertwine the photos on wall part with our opening credits at the same time. Jess's idea is to have a simular set up to the newspaper clippings on the wall but include pictures with faces circled and crossed out. This section of the film will include our credits: the initial idea was to have a picture of each of us from our group and then when the camera tracks to that shot underneath have what there role was in our film for example under a picture of Tom we would have "Director'' or something of a similar meaning. We thought this would be an effective and dramatic idea as the camera movement would allow the audience to identify the themes and gain clues about the storyline, this part would add hype and tension, whereas the credits would calm down the atmosphere.
