Breakdown of our Finalised Ideas

Here is a list of what exactly will be in our two minute clip and what will be happening. We have also listed locations, props etc so that it is easier for us to film. We have split it up into sections of ten seconds and tried to guess how long we will show shots for, however when we have our footage it may not exactly follow this plan.

0-10 seconds 5 seconds of this will be our ident with its own music playing in the background. The ident will fade into darkness and the music will fade into the music we will be using for our background music throughout the clip. You will see the floor in the forest for about 3 seconds after the ident has faded out.

10-20 seconds In this section you will see the beginning of the blood trail on the floor and the eerie music has now got a little louder to build up suspense. We will be following the blood for the whole ten seconds along the forst floor. During the 14-20 seconds section, the first credit will appear which will be 'Leah Clark' which will be shown for 3 seconds, then 'Ellie Farrington' will appear afterwards for 3 seconds as well. We will have used tomato ketchup to create the blood for this and our location will be the forest. We will use a tracking shot that slowly starts to zoom in at 15 seconds.

20-30 seconds In this section we will still be using a tracking shot of the blood trail on the floor in the forest, but more credits will be appearing. These will be: 'Produced by Ellie Farrington Leah Clark Ben Whybrow' 'Directed by Ellie Farrington Leah Clark Ben Whybrow' 'Music by Ellie Farrington Leah Clark Ben Whybrow' They will all last for about 3 seconds each. The music will be increasing in volume throughout this period and reaching its full volume by the end of this period.

30-40 seconds In this section we will be using a tracking shot again, filming the blood trail but at 33 seconds you will start to see one each of the girls feet walking along. The girls will be walking through the forest with blood (tomato ketchup) on their feet. They will be wearing black leggins with no shoes. We will still be seeing credits, these will be: 'Editing by Ellie Farrington Leah Clark Ben Whybrow' 'Filming by Ellie Farrington Leah Clark Ben Whybrow' 'Lighting by Ellie Farrington Leah Clark Ben Whybrow' The music will remain at the same pace before becoming more intensive as it reaches the girl's feet.

40-50 seconds In this section we will still be in the forest but there will be no credits now. We will still be using tomato ketchup on the girls feet and on the ground where it has dripped from their hands but the shot will slowly begin to pan up and out so you can see both of the girls feet and you can see part of their legs walking along now. The music will have been playing throughout all this time, gradually becoming more intensive.

50-60 seconds The shot continues to pan up so that you can now see the girls lower backs and you can see that they are holding hands. It will be visible that there is blood (tomato ketchup) on the hands and arms and it will be dripping from them which is where the blood trail has come from. After about 5 seconds, you will begin to see the backs of the girls heads. They will still be walking along in the forest.The music will still be increasing in intensity.

60-70 seconds In this section the shot will switch to a close up of the girls hands with the blood on. It will last for about 4 seconds and then it will zoom out to a long shot of the girls standing still in the middle of the forest. The shot will shake a little to make it more spooky and you will be able to slightly see the blood trail (tomato ketchup). One of the girls will slowly turn her head to look behind her at the camera and will stay in that position until 70 seconds. Along with the soundtrack, extra sound effects will be used during the shaking of the camera to add suspense.

70-80 seconds In this section the shot will switch back to the back of the girls heads, you won't see lower than their shoulders. The forest around will be quite dark still. After 4 seconds of seeing their heads, the girls will both turn their heads, one completely to the side and one only halfway sidewards. You will see blood splattered on only one face, this shot will last for 6 seconds.

80-90 seconds In this section the shot will flash to the same as before but the other girls head will now be fully turned and she will have blood (tomato ketchup) splattered on her face and the other girls face will be clean. This will last for 6 seconds and will switch to a medium close up of the backs of the girls heads again which we will see for 4 seconds. We may make the shot shake a bit here to make it more creepy but until we have experimented with the camera we can't be sure.

90-100 seconds In this section a long shot will show the girls standing in the forest again. It will last for about 3 seconds and will switch to no one standing in the forest for 3 seconds and then it will show the girls standing there again until 100 seconds.

100-110 seconds In this section we will have a close up of the backs of the girls hair and the shot will slightly shake. this will last for about 5 seconds and the music will become quieter until it suddenly switches to an extreme close up shot of the two girls faces where the music will have a loud bang noise and then return to its previous sound. We will see the shot for about 3 seconds then the words 'The Sin' will appear in the middle of the screen which is the title of the film.

110-120 seconds In this section you will see the girls faces and the title both fade out onto a plain blank screen. It will go blank because then the rest of the film would normally continue but because we are only doing the opening sequence, we decided to leave it blank and dark After planning the timing like this, it has given us an idea of how much footage we need to capture to actually create the opening sequence.

When filming we will film more material than needed incase we need to change some of the lengths of the shots e.g turning a 5 second shot into a 3 second shot would make the sequence shorter so another part may need to be made longer to make sure that it meets the marking cryteria by being long enough. We think that the times we have set are realistic and manageable and we think we will have enough time to film all the footage we will need. During the entire sequence there will be no dialogue used at all and the only prop used will be tomato ketchup so that it can be simple but affective.
