After presenting one of my ideas to my class and teacher i gathered some useful feedback in how to improve or realistically develop my intentions for an opening sequence.
My classmates really liked how it began fairly happily and innocently with hints of a sad film but then cuts to a disturbing, messed up image of a graphically displayed dead body.
They questioned how I would realistically display the body, as a decomposing body isn't easy to come across. It would be incredibly hard to show someone who's dead when they could just be asleep or the makeup (blood, and pale makeup) could look naff. My classmates argued the use of well-done makeup and clever camera positioning however, i understood what my teacher was saying. Secondly, my teacher cleverly stated that what the man is doing in my scene means that 90% of it will be filming someone making something.
To improve, I either pursue that and experiment with the dead body- see whether it looks real or make it so that the girl is alive and tied down with bodies around her and she's almost the next victim. Or towards the idea that he is mentally disturbed due to what he's been through and we see this through what he's making. He suggested he makes a cup of tea to begin with but then say he makes a sandwich, all the foods are moldy and gone off yet he still makes it. buttering bread, off milk, because he's just lost it.
If i followed it through, detail would be key (photo frame etc)
