Music

1. Tension Music
2. " "
3. Tension starts to build more
4. " "
5." "
6. " "
7. Tension half way into this shot then deep, heavy, panic breathing
8. Like the Boomph, from Lost.

At 2:35 seconds, when the title "Lost" appears, there is a sound effect. We liked the sound effect as it emphasizes the title and what it means to its full extent.

Opening Thrillers

This is the opening sequence of Memento. We've uploaded this video as it is one we discussed in class. As a group we liked this opening sequence because it showed originality, by starting at the end and rewinding. From this opening sequence, we have taken the use of the image of blood because it created an effect of tension.

Setting options- trees

Mitchell and Jake walked through the woods for 2 hours through Weston woods looking for a tree that matched our storyboards to some degree. They came across and photographed 4 trees which They thought were appropriate for our opening scene. These were the trees that had the attributes we desired:

Photo one
Photo twoPhoto threePhoto four was our favourite tree and we have decided to use it for our opening scene.

Story board progress

In lesson, we discussed that our opening scene answered to many questions, and we felt that the opening should leave the audience questioning the storyline. We cut out all the shots that shown the next victim, and scenes where you can definately see the link between the victims. We decided to be more subtle about the link and leave it for the audience to work out later on in the film.
We are currently still working on our storyboard, as we need to discuss more shots that can make the opening longer and cause more questions to be asked. We are hoping to add more abstract elements and tension building scenes that introduce the murderer only and his way of killing.
