Experimental Footage

This experimental footage shows the basics of the scene where the boy wakes up in his bed. This experimental footage is to test the shots I are planning to use. From this footage I can see that the first  long shot of the shadowy figure to the right of the screen. However because this character is revealed at the beginning of the film allows the film to loose the suspense behind it. So to avoid this I am going to change the instant character being at the start to just show a shadow or just the door closing. This will allow me to announce that the character is present in the film without showing the character.
The lighting during this sequence change the atmosphere. The bright white light lifts the mood and sets the film during the day. However when we get to the close up of the character on the phone the lighting changes to a darker softer yellow light. I prefer the first light system, however this makes it harder to create suspense.
During the long shot at the begging we see the entirety of the wall. One of the main problems with shot is that there is too much white space to the left. This space draws the eye and pulls focus away from our main character.

From this experimental footage I am going to look into creating suspense without showing a character.
