Experimental opening shot





This experimental footage shows a possible opening shot, tracking up and into the younger brothers bedroom. This is inspired by the opening shot in 'Daddy' as it follows doen a hall and into the dads room. This shot would be used to introduce the main character while he is sleeping, although I alos want to cross-cut it between this and a dream sequence in the woods as I think that will create a tension that can be falsly broken, but I will have to see what the dream scene will look like.

However one problem with this expreimental footage is that the lighting is lacking in the middle as it becomes to dark to see anything in shot. I do like this aspect though as it gives a moment of utter blackness but in this footage that moment is too long. The lighting from inside the room gives a good amount of light in some of the shots, showing single blades of light rather than completely illuminating the entire shot. One major aspect of this footage that I do like is the moment of soft focus when it comes out of the darkness as it gives a dream like feel. This shot would have the sound motif of the piano playing over the top lightly, to introduce the film.
It will then cut to a shot looking straight down at the younger brother waking up from his nightmare/dream.
