Research and Planning Proposal/Group Meeting Two

Plot Idea One:

• One of our plot ideas is about a group of friends who go on a camping trip and take part in using supernatural elements - Ouija Board. 
• Things take a turn for the worst when one of the friends becomes possessed, and terrorises the rest of the group. 

Cinematography One:

• One of the main shots we're looking at is an extreme close up of the person's eyes who gets possessed.
• And then it would zoom out to a close up of the features of the face contorted. 
• we would also need a bird's eye view shot of the group of friends sat around in a circle beginning the night's events - also showing the bonds between them in the beginning. 
• Two shots will be used as well to show friends being broken apart and to show how ties are wearing thin. 

Editing One:

• Jump cuts to show the peak of the teaser trailer. 
• Straight cuts will be used to show continuity.

Sound One:

• A building soundtrack that creates tension, then it will suddenly stop, when the eyes ares shown.
• Dialogue of speech used over the top of soundtrack so the audience notices when the music stops.

Mise-en-scene Two:

• Make up will be a main prop to turn the possessed person into someone terrifying.
• Maybe contact lenses could be used to turn the eyes red.
• The location will be important - a forest.
• Ouija Board.

Plot Two:

• Our other plot idea is similar to plot idea one however there would be no supernatural elements and there would be a friend who goes on a killing spree for reasons that are identified with psychoanalysis.

Cinematography Two:

• High/Low angles to show who is inferior/superior.
• Bird's eye view used once again to show friendship.
• Long shots to show them running away from their friend (killer)

Editing Two:

• Straight cuts used to show continuity.
• Tracking shots with handheld camera to show the fear of the group of friends to the audience and how disjointed everything's become.

Sound Two:

• The musics slow but builds up to create tension.
• Diegetic sounds of screaming and sound of the axe to create fear for the audience.

Mise-en-scene Two:

• The weapon would be key mise-en-scene.
• Blood would be mise-en-scene to show the seriousness of the situation.
• As the friends are camping they'd probably become dirty from falling down and would look ragged. 

Plot Three:

•  Our final plot idea is a stalker storyline, where an ex-boyfriend gets jealous of the fact that his girlfriend dumped him and got with someone else. He is now following her everywhere and takes pictures of everything she does, to later use against her.

Cinematography Three:

• Most of the shots would be done through looking threw the camera lens and are most likely to be close ups or long shots. 
• Close ups of them being a couple in flash back and then close ups of break up.

Editing Three:

• Flashbacks could be used to show his memory of them being a couple.
• Jump cuts as it is a teaser trailer, just snippets so the audience can feel the boy's pain.

Sound Three:

• The sound would be eerie, so it would be slow and deep.
• Camera snaps could be heard to build tension, getting quicker and quicker. 
• Dialogue of her and her new boyfriend.

Mise-en-scene Three:

• Urban setting to show fast paced city life.
• A dark, small room where the ex has got loads of pictures of her all over his walls.
• Prop of the camera.
