Treatment: script, soundtrack, representation

We began to develop the contruction of our opening sequence, and think about the representations it involved:

SCRIPT:

B: “Are you ready to meet my dad?”

F: “I've been waiting a long time for his”

SHOT STYLE AND SOUNDTRACK:

HOW SEQUENCE INTRODUCES CHARACTERS, THEMES, SETTING
Our sequence introduces characters, themes and the setting very mysteriously. This introduces themes of deception used throughout the film especially involving our women character and how she must lie and use people (boyfriend and father) to try and find her sister.

VISUAL STYLE OF SEQUENCE:

• Tense
• Mysterious
• Suspense
• Something's not quite right, double meaning behind what she is saying.

TITLES:

• Subtle, potential colours: white, black.
• Won't take away from what's happening. 

HOW SEQUENCE DEMONSTRATES UNDERSTANDING OF TECHNIQUES OF CAMERA, COMPOSITION, MISE-EN SCENE AND CONTINUITY:
We use range of close-up and extreme close ups are used to disorientate the audience, but still follow the rules of continuity between the shots.

LOCATION, WHO AND WHEN OPENING SEQUENCE WILL BE FILMED:
A sophisticated bedroom with a dressing table and a bed on the other side of the room, with a red throw on it  – red being the symbolic colour of the woman: symbolising passion and sexuality, and also anger and danger. The lighting in the room will be artificial  – symbolic of the artificial world the woman has created (iconography to support this is the make-up and seductive clothing and shoes); it will also allow for detail to be seen, for instance in the perfume spray and zip. The lighting in the hallway is dim, as the man is there, and it is symbolic of him 'being in the dark' with this woman, and also will keep the mystery and ambiance needed for our thriller/revenge drama genre.
