Treatment for first two minutes

Treatment for first two minutes

Quietus (1:51)

Right at the beginning of our first two minutes our film will start with an establishing shot with Robyn in shot so that the audience cam see that she is alone and in a large space and is vulnerable. The camera angle will then change to the side of Robyn this shot will track Robyn’s movement while she will walk for a couple of seconds before her phone rings. The phone call will be off her mother asking where she is and how long till she will be home. When Robyn answers the phone the camera shot will go in front of her and track her movement again for the duration of the phone call. The shot will then cut to behind Robyn so the camera sees her turning then the camera will fade to an over the shoulder shot to show that Robyn is scared and believes somebody is there. After Robyn turns back round the camera shot will behind her following her picking up pace to show that somebody is behind her and picking up pace to try and catch her. Robyn will then turn a corner and go into an alley way were the person following her pushes her to the ground and knocks her unconscious. The camera will show Robyn on the floor and then a point of view shot. When Robyn wakes up she is in very different surroundings. She soon becomes aware that her hands are tied and that she is tied up. Robyn looks around to see if there is anybody else there she realises that there is nobody and she is alone. Robyn then screams for help to receive a reply from the person who has took her hostage.

The genre of our film will be horror and we will be establishing this by using negative lighting to show this in our first two minutes to give off a really negative atmosphere. If we start the film off with the audience in the right frame of mind they should enjoy the rest of the movie and not be disappointed.

It is important that we get as many signs in from the start to show the genre and signifies that its going to be a horror movie the signs maybe the lighting with it been dark this usually shows that something bad is going to happen especially if there is little colour in the rest of the opening two minutes.
