My idea for the opening is a thriller/crime drama filmed in black and white with colour highlights, like in "Sin City" as seen below.
Above is a photo in black and white with red petals, this photo was one of my inspirations for the project.
In the opening I don't want any speech, the music playing in the background I want to be either a score or just the instruments from a song without the lyrics. I've been listening to some songs to see what type of song I want playing. I've been watching the Q music chanel as they tend to play indie type songs which is the genre of song I want to play in the background.
I don't want a fast paced song like Rizzle Kicks "When I Was a Youngster" the music to that is too upbeat. But I don't want a song like Adele's "Someone Like You" as that instrumental version is too downbeat. I then thought maybe I could have the song "My Favourite Things" from "The Sound of Music" this playing in the background would be quite creepy, which it the sort of "vibe" I want for the opening.
This weekend I am going to the location where I hope to film my opening, I will be taking pictures and uploading them to my blog to show for my planning.
I will be hopefully filming in my Grandparent's kitchen as it is quite modern compared to my own kitchen and it doesn't look like a family kitchen like mine. Below is a picture of the kitchen at night as that's when I want to base my opening. Although it looks like more than one person lives here I think I may remove some objects from the shot to make it less "home-y"
I think I may remove some of these items from the frame. |
Although both these pictures are in colour I want to change them into black and white with red colour highlights. As stated before I want a woman to be in the kitchen preparing a meal. I will be using my sister as the woman, you won't be seeing her face and only her hands. As seen below, you can see her standing with a knife, although she has purple nails in this photo, in the actual film she will have long red nails. Although this knife is quite small for the final film she'll be holding a bigger knife to chop the meat in two.
The chopping board, knife and hand. Although in this picture the chopping board and knife are small, in the final piece they'll be bigger. |
Although you can see her jumper in this photo you won't in the film and both the knife and the chopping boards will be bigger, as I didn't bring my camera with me I found it hard to take photos so I used my laptop, although the angle isn't correct and it's her left hand instead of her right this is sort of what I want one of the shots to look like, although a bigger knife, red nails, a bigger chopping board, meat on the chopping board andit to be in black and white but the nails and the meat in colour.
