- The use of low-key lighting connotes danger and suspense, and I think that if we used low-key lighting it could create tension and put the audience under a sense of unease.
- The use of flashes of light (produced by 'lightning') connote thunderstorms and this partially allows the audience to see the protagonist (even though he is an antihero) at certain time intervals. The fact that the audience don't see him all the time makes them wonder where he is or what he is doing.
- The sepia filter is an idea that we may use for our opening because it makes the film look dated which would be good if our film is set in the past, but also gives it a slight edge and raises the production values.
- The use of minimal dialogue should be highly considered because unless the script is well written it could ruin our opening, however the use of emotional language makes the audience feel sympathy for the protagonist despite him being the villain.
I think that we should use minimal but well-written dialogue, as we want to 'humanise' the story in the same way 28 Days Later (Boyle, 2002) did by injecting emotion into the character's dialogue. Also by keeping the dialogue minimal, it would give strong lines more impact.
ReplyDeleteYes Jake, I definitely agree. Certain lines will have more impact if they are spoken well and if there is little other dialogue.
