Rhiannon and I have decided to produce a social realism/thriller film opening. We decided this as both of these genres have many benefits such as shooting on location, and in our case, have access to non-diegetic sound (music) which we can put over the top.
Plot:
A brief outline of the plot, a 'rave' party takes place at a teenagers house. The camera will focus on the alcohol consuming and drug taking etc, as part of the social realism. Hard-core techno music will be playing and shots of a typical teenage rave will be shown. The shots will be shortened making the sequence of events quick which ends with the camera blacking out. The next scene is the morning after, no one has an recollection of what happened. People from the party wake up in different, odd places around the village in which it is set. Strange events appear to have happened but no one knows what.
Props:
- Bed sheets covering the walls, makes it feel more of a party scene. These will also be splattered with neon pain to enhance the party feel and a more professional looking set.
- UV light, this makes the neon paint stand out more.
- Strobe light continuously on, this is to bring out the music and make it look like a well organised party.
- Water speakers will do a similar job to the strobe and UV light, the music will be edited over the top of the piece, but speakers will make it look more realistic.
Camera shots:
- close ups of alcohol bring prepared and consumed.
- close ups of drugs being smoked/taken.
- wide shot of the rave.
