Story-boarding



In order to create a suspenseful atmosphere, my team decided that shooting in darkness would be the best. We decided to film early in the morning when my character is going for a morning run, beginning with an establishing shot. As my character runs, there is diegetic sound coming from my headphones as I listen to music. My character will then see a strange car, the shot will alternate between the perspective of me and car as I notice the car is abandoned. This scares me, and I run, there is a loud noise, and I turn around to find the car gone. Suspenseful non-diegetic swells in the background before I am attacked with a bat, I wake up in an abandoned house, and the opening ends.

Filming Week 1

This week my group did our practice run for our film. We took some practice shots in order to see what shots would work best for conveying what we wanted to show through our film, with a focus on suspense.  This is from a shot of me running from the beginning of the opening. The shot follows me as I run past the camera. This gives the audience the feeling that I am being watched which adds to the suspense. While the shot worked fine, we found it was a little difficult to film, so we decided the camera moving alongside me would be better. This shot shows my dead body from the end of the opening. We decided a high angle shot would work best as it would show the viewers my whole body. However, we noticed it was difficult to get the shot as the high angle made filming my whole body difficult from the horizontal angle.

Editing Week 1

This week we began editing our film opening. After we uploaded the footage to Adobe Premiere Pro, we started by cutting our film. All of our videos had tons of extra footage of pauses, and us yelling cut, these needed to be edited out along with any other dead footage. We also lowered the exposure of the video to add to the suspense, but this had an inverse effect of increasing the volume. We also began adding in the music that plays through my headphones throughout the opening.
