New idea- rough video of 'bath'


After planning more of the storyboard we have realised that this wouldn't be a very realistic opening as there are two many events taking place. After watching a few openings of films such as 'juno' and 'se7en', I've noticed that an opening is mostly titles and gives none of the story away. If we did it completely like a real film i don't think this would give us a chance to show off many techniques, so we are going to keep it as basic as we can with maybe having just one typical thriller convention.
We filmed a rough draft of our new idea. We didn't use any props or costumes and we also didn't film when it was dark, but we will definitely film at night for the final piece. We plan on doing a  full rehearsal which we will post. We didn't use the previous idea at all, we started over and came up with a new storyboard. Our idea is that we have a girl who is cleaning a bath which is covered in blood, she also has some splatters of blood on her clothing, this will cause suspense, who's blood is it ? is she a murderer? We want to use lots of different angles whilst she is doing this, and hope the blood mixed with the water will give a nice effect. There is then a knock at the door and the girl panics, we use a point of view shot which personally I'm not too keen on, as i don't think it flows very well. The shot of my hands on the sink we think will be really good when we use the fake blood as it will be much more dramatic and have more of a purpose, this is followed by the point of view shot which will build character as you can see the fear on the characters face. I like the shot of the girl walking to the stairs when she is filmed through a half open door, this gives the impression that she is being watched which will add more suspense. When the girl is walking down the stairs we decided to film just the girls feet as it makes it suspicious the same reason goes for why he filmed from behind when she opens the door. We edited the woman's voice to make it seem as if the girl is in a daze and isn't paying any attention to what she is saying, i think this works really well. To end it we plan on the woman noticing that the girl has some blood on her hand and asks her if shes ok, the girl then tries to cover it up and just shuts the door. I think this idea will be more successful than our previous idea as we aren't giving too much of the story away. 

Below are some pictures of our new location, as you can see the bathroom is very small which i think will be convient to our storyline as the character will feel as if she is almost trapped and cant escape what she has done. The walls are very plain and with the wooden fall it has potential to show a cold feeling about it, which will really set the setting for our gene. We will clear the bathroom so it is empty. The white walls will have great contrast with the blood that we intend on spreading everywhere.
