Well, with previsualization out of the way, let's look back
at it all. The script is finished
and we are securing our talent and location. But let's focus on the materials we have in front of us
(well… err… in front of the five of us).
I
helped our director out with creating the storyboard. The shots consist of the standard master shot sequence. Our establishing shot begins through
the POV of a VHS-quality security camera.
The shot depicts the victim, bound to a chair, in the middle of the
dim-lit room. Our femme fatale of
an interrogator slowly comes from behind her victim, dragging a sledgehammer. From here, our characters deliver the
dialogue provided to our group by our instructor in a dark, macabre sense. Our final shot ends through the POV of
the security camera, just like in the beginning.
Lighting
is going to play a heavy role in the project. We've agreed to add the chiaroscuro effect seen in the films
of German Expressionism, so we need a battle between pitch-black shadows and
contrasting light. For this, we
are estimating to use only the key light on the set. In that way, we will have more shadows to play around with
while shooting.
