Movie planning

Movie planning

When it comes to planning the opening sequence for my movie, i want it to be as realistic as possible for my audience to be fully engaged and intrigued by what is happening. This will only be the case if I analyse other movies and grab the best elements from theirs and use it in my own.

Firstly, the opening sequence that me and my group are planning to use was the idea of 'The call' which a briefly gave a synopsis of in one of my other posts. In this opening sequence, a handheld camera should be used for the majority of the scenes. This is the most effective way for the audience to actually feel like they are involved with the movie because of the real feel that it gives. 

Also, we will use many extreme close ups to show daunting expressions of the actors faces. Furthermore, we will use establishing shots for the audience to come familiar with the setting that we are using. As the areas will be really secrete and closed off, this will make our audience feel unsettled and question the location. This is apply the hermeneutic code to frustrate the audience. To push this code further, the scene with the actor just sitting in a room tied in a chair will really get the audience thinking.
