Thriller Ideas

i was put in a group with Bella and Sola. I was happy with this as they are both creative and good with the camera. I knew they would have good inputs to the idea. Before we discussed our final idea each individual developed some ideas of our own.

My first idea was a girl levitating. The clip would begin with lines dropping down from the top of the screen and spelling the title in red. This idea was inspired by Saul Bass' work. It would then cut to a girls face. The  white balance would be high, especially on the face- so you would only really see the features appearing (eg eyes). The screen would then flash black and re-appear on the girls face with a normal white balance.The camera would then be guided along each body part, with soft yet creepy, ghost- like music playing in the background. The camera shots would be close up, going through from the head to the feet. The camera movement would be slow and steady. This would last the majority of the clip. The audience would not know the girl was levititating yet. However the clip would seem creepy and make the audience uneasy. The titles would be appearing at this time. The music would then suddenly change to a high pitched fast sound getting higher and loader. As this noise came, the camera would zoom out as if it was hand held. The audience then realise that the girl os floating in mid air, and behind her in the corner of the room in an old lady on a rocking chair. Screen goes black.

My second idea began with a close up shot of feet walking. Close up of bottle of petrol. Shows waist below walking with petrol being poured on the ground. The camera then cuts at the same angle as the petrol on the floor. The camera follows the petrol and titles begin to appear in the trail. This the cuts to the mans face with low light so you cant make the identification completely. He drops the rest of the bottle and it leeks off the edge of the pavement. Close up of the petrol dripping off the side. Scene then cuts to black. A match lights up in the centre of the screen and the title of the film appears from the match light. The music throughout is tense and sinister.
