Fridge Vlog

For our opening I thought an interesting shot angle could be a point of view from the fridge. I am certain this particular shot has been used many times in different films and television programes, however it is inspired by Breaking Bad. As stated in a pervious blog post not to long ago, the shot angles used are very interesting for the audience to see and it almost helps us to view the scene in a diffrent light. Therefore we thought it was time to test out this theory. This is a vlog from inside my fridge!

Final Idea for Opening Sequence

For our final idea we have decided that at the beginning you will see the back of a hooded man making a ransom letter. Then it will switch to the shot of a professional, glamourous woman returning home from work wearing sophisticated clothing. She will then find the letter but before opening it she will carry with her everyday routine e.g getting wine out of the fridge. When she finally opens the letter she drops the wine and runs and you will see the letter fall slowly and piece of the ransom left behind. You will then see her running across millennium bridge and lady smith football grounds because we think these settings will suit the story line best. While she is running, we thought it would be effective to have flashbacks of her troubled past and towards the end of the run she will have returned to her old, drug-abusing self. 
If this was to turn into a feature length film it would tell the story of what happened to the girl in order for her to be in this situation.

Song Idea?

Since the day we had finally pick an idea for our opening sequence, I had a very specific idea in my mind of how i would like it to turn out, and since that day i was listening to everything possible and  was comparing it to whether it would be good for us  to use for our opening. I had become obsessed. I was listening religiously to all times of music, blues, classical, country, house, indie EVERYTHING. Consequently of this abnormal behaviour the list of songs are growing every day. However these are just if the few which i would thing would be perfect for our film opening.

Phildel - Afraid of the dark
This was the first song which when I heard thought would be perfect for our film opening. The tone of this song is very sad also depressing. Creating a very emotional atmosphere to the opening. I thought this song would be good as it creates this particular atmosphere for the opening the viewers are left intrigued and have already imagined what sort of film it is going to be. Whether they are correct or not, they will  be determined my how the film continues.  I, personally have never heard of this song or Phildel. When watching 'Ravenswood' an American television program, In a scene of one of the characters funerals this song was playing in the background and the song was continued over from another scene. When I heard the song,straight away I  could imagine it in our opening.
