Latest ideas on our Opening Sequence

During our lessons this week we have adapted much clearer ideas, we dcided in order to chose our scenes we needed to do some more brainstorming.

The Cellar Scene
We would like to include a scene showing Elizabeth in low-key lighting. Alice produced an image on photoshop which shows the postion of Elizabeth we are considering.



We plan to show Elizabeth watching a news report on the event (after her eldest daughter was taken into hospital). We would be concentrating on the television with Elizabeths silhouette in frame.

We plan to also include some flashbacks throughout the opening sequence, showing Elizabeth at a young age leading up tp the event. This is some we havecome up with so far:

Young girl with a toy, signifying the innocence of a child before the horrific events which would take place further on in the film.

A teenage sleepover where Elizabeth is very iscolated from the group of girls, talking about boys and sex etc. During the documentary we watched one of Elizabeth's close school friends explained simular occurances.

A pregnant woman, who would have to be young-looking so it relates to the true event.


Developed ideas

Time lapse
We thought we could use the time lapse to present how long Elizabeth was trapped for, perhaps focusing on the sky changing (day/night sun/rain)

The architect drawings
As Fritzl illegally further extended his extension (to create the chamber) he would have needed to plan - make drawings etc. We could show this by panning over the drawings.

opening a safe door
This would be an example of the conditions that Elizabeth was living in.

A man luring the girl into the cellar
According to our research Josef tricked Elizabeth into entering the cellar by asking her to help him lift a heavy object downstairs. This could make an effective start to our film?



Now that we have come up with various ideas, we need to decide on the order, camera angles ect. before going on to create our storyboard.
