First Sequence

This is our orignial sequence with Lara in from our real shoots (not test shoots).

I find it quite shocking that this was some of our real footage from a 5 hour long shoot, we clearly didn't spend enough time planning this. It definitley confirms that changing our idea was the best option as it's obvious we didn't like this idea enough to put all the effort in to make it look as interesting and almost as weird as our final idea did. I do like the effect on the POV shots - they were only overlapped and cross dissolved - but they go on for too long and the whole sequence is quite boring.

It's definitely a good thing that we re-worked our idea to make it better than the sequence above. The shots are too far out distance wise and I feel like the establishing shots at the beginning were way too long. Also, without the slow shutter speed setting on the camera, the POV shots aren't really as effective when trying to show how drugged the victim is. It's also good that we decided that the victim should cover less ground when running away from the killer, since it made things a bit easier for us continuity-wise.

Although I do like some of the actual shots in this short sequence I feel this does not set up expectations of a psychological thriller. Instead there is no evidence to suggest this isn't just an action thriller and so I feel we need to anchor our subgenre with either cutaway shots to the villains obsessions (some random ideas include cutaways of books which have strategic methods of killing or shots of the victim caressing a mannequin, etc.) The first panoramic shot is really successful at establishing the location of the chase however there is no intimacy shown between the audience and the actress, i.e. I think the establishing shot could be from her point of view or towards her.
