After the credits, a scene of a man walking out of an elevator and discovering something off in the electronics room occurs. This also ensues mystery and wonder for what will happen next. During the opening credits, there if fast paced music, to show to the audience what type of film you are watching. It represents a faced paced, action packed film with lots of excitement and build up around it. The music is also very slightly mysterious which also represents action, as the mystery is that there could be a mastermind behind the whole film, which there is, as someone sets off the time bomb and has the intention of blowing it up. There is then a long shot going in towards the mysterious item, being a bag, then camera then slowly zooms in.

ART OF THE TITLE - SPEED
ART OF THE TITLE - SPEED
PLANNING: FILM TREATMENT
PLANNING: FILM TREATMENT
Write a treatment for your film opening. A treatment will normally contain:
- A title that is dynamic and engaging
- The top line - an 'elegant sentence' that sums up the action
- The big question - what is the cliffhanger? what is the enigma that will unfold?
- The synopsis - one or two paragraphs outlining the plot
- Characters - brief introduction: Adam, 35, a dreamy design engineer.... Lucy, 25, a disenchanted doctor... Mary, 18, an idealistic student...
NEXT
- After writing the treatment, you create a STORYBOARD (hand drawn on the sheets that I give you)
- and a SHORTLIST
BRAINSTORM INITIAL IDEAS
- Girl with super brain being stalked by crazy doctor or scientist
- Aimed at a younger audience, that being young adults potential teenagers
- The scientist wants to take the girl completely to study her and take as a test subject
- Potentially the government after her
- Some potential locations include; a hospital, train station, science lab
We initially brainstormed multiple different ideas and genres to start off with. We have access to a boat house, and therefore thought planning something which involves that location would be successful.
Locations for Shots:
- London
- Train station
- Hospital
- Elevator
- Woods
- Empty car park
- Walking down an empty dark road
- Dark room hacker screens
Props:
- Pin Board
- Documents
- Pictures
- Files
- Doctors notes
- earphones
Effects:
- Clips from YouTube
- Titles
- Background music/sounds
- Filters
- POV filters
Simple shots ideas:
- Earphones in music playing walking down lonely street, music out silence. Mixed shots of doctor and girl to create following creepy scene
- Dark room with hacker screens and reflecting in glasses
Behind the scenes:
We printed images of my friend, Millie, then wrote on the images with
with a red pen to look like she's being stalked.
Here Ollie is taking pictures of Millie through the trees, the long shot with
trees obstructing the view of the camera will create the feel of that she's being watched.
Liv is taking more pictures of Millie to add the the "stalkers" collection.
