Idea of our thriller

We were discussing in our group the possible ideas of our thriller until Theo had a nice idea about Russian Mafia. When he gave the idea, we began to develop it, but we have also changed it.
Our location is in Russia,Siberia. We see a prisoner with a black bag on his hand and also who's hands are tied up. He is taken by three Russian agents to a quit place where they can finish him. He is brought to the place where the two agents put him down on his knees. One of the agents( who seems to be the main one from all three of them) stands in front of the prisoner with a cigarette in his mouth and asks for a gun( this is going to be said in Russian to make in cooler). The prisoner is behaving himself very calm, he doesn't show any fear, he is still, he is not afraid of them, it seems like he knows that the ending of this will be positive. We see the agent pointing the gun at the prisoner.There is a close up of the trigger of the gun,then we hear a diegetic sound of the shot but we don't see the agent's trigger at the time when the shot happens,we make then a shot of the back of the agents falling down. Both guards arу in a loss,then we see both of them through the sniper aim which signifies that someone else is involved in all this.Both of the guards are shot down and the mysterious sniper reveals. We see the sniper( It is a woman) walking down to the prisoner. As she gets close to him she takes out the bag, then we hear snide remark along the line " Why did it take you so long". Then we see them walking along the forest. The prisoners hands are still tied up but then we see him freeing himself out which lets us know that he could free himself whenever he wanted.

Film Editing Glossary

Cut

A visual transition created in editing in which one shot is replaced on screen by another.

Continuity editing

Editing that creates action that flows smoothly across shots and scenes without jarring visual inconsistencies. Establishes a sense of story for the viewer.

Cross cutting

Errors of continuity

Disruptions in the flow of a scene such as a failure to match action or the placement of props across shots

Establishing shot

A shot, normally taken from a great distance or from a “bird’s eye view”, that establishes where the action is about to occur

Eyeline match

The matching of eyelines between two or more characters.  For example if Rafael looks to the right in shot A, Marselo will look to the left in shot B. This establishes a relationship of proximity and continuity

Fade

A visual transition between shots or scenes that appears on screen as a brief interval with no pictures. The editor fades one shot to black and then fades in the next. Often used to indicate a change in time and place

Kill Bill

                                                           Kill Bill.

The scene one starts off Bride lying in the coffin, with an aggressive man standing over her, she looks weak and flaccid. This is reinforced through her being buried alive in a coffin. Tied up hands, and helpless Bride signifies that she is about to die. This is reinforced through the setting of the graveyard which we didn’t see in the clip. Short breathing indicates that she is scared. The western music is non-diegetic, and it juxtaposed death. The nail banging on coffin highlights her being locked. We can hear the diegetic sound of car which is driving away after the process of locking Bride is finished; this signifies that she is left alone to die. This is contrasted with her diegetic screams of helplessness. We can also hear the synchronous, diegetic sounds of the soil being thrown on her coffin, but we don’t actually see them throwing the soil at her coffin, we can see it from actor’s point of view shot.

The second scene is showing her, trying her best to get out from the coffin. There is a non-diegetic western music which increases in terms of tension as she gets near to escape and the music also shows that there is going to be revenge. It is the music of freedom which also signifies that she will success.  The stops her short breaths which turn into deep, long breaths which signifies her calmness. Also the non-diegetic sound which matches her heart beating. She is in control about her actions. The non-diegetic sound is in the time with the screen action increases the tempo on its nature that informs us that she is now more likely to survive. Angelic, non-diegetic sounds signifies that she is about to reborn and escape. – Synchronous degetic sounds of her breaking through the coffin+ the earth as she is metaphorically reborn. We can see a change in her facial expression which indicates a domination to escape; this is signified through her ability to find the knife, which is the way to get freedom. Coffin in contrast to first scene looks larger. Her state of mind is calm as opposed to claustrophobic. The determination is symbolised through the punching of coffin, blood coming from her hands and her facial gesture signifies that she is strong. We see the smile and happiness on her face as she frees herself by knife. The music gets faster as she bangs the coffin. Her hand breaking through the coffin shows that she is near to reborn. The music suddenly finishes as she frees herself into the freedom. The camera shots used were Close up- was used when showing the man’s face standing above Bride near the coffin while burring her . Point of view- was used when showing how Bride frees herself by cutting the rope.  Tracking shoot- was used in showing how she takes her boots out and moving the camera all the way from her legs towards her head. Wide shot- showing her full body. Panning shot-  this was to follow the action/ to refocus and stimulate new interest.

The clip starts off a women drawing in the water, this shows that the movie is going to be connected with water. We see her swimming until a spear appears in the scene which is followed by a man holding the gun. She is trying to escape him but as she gets out from the screen we see the main shooting his spear at her,then we see blood which signifies that she died. The next scene starts off with a blowing red colour which annotates danger,blood and death. In the next scene there are two women as well as two hunters. Then suddenly we see the whole water colour changing into red and also we see one of the women drawing and slowly dying. This is transformed into a close up of a women who is trying to escape to the surface, then she meets another woman and they both try to escape to the surface. The colour changes from red to blue then to green, we see them already getting close to the surface but all of sudden two hunters appear on the screen coming down from the surface towards the two women. While they are escaping colour changes several times and the hunters appear on the screen again, but no one dies this time.

The opening sequence starts off with a medium close up of an open book, then we in one of the pages two hands which look really old and scary.  The next shot is quit terrifying, we see someones finger's skin being cut off with a lazer blade, this is done to cover you personal identification. After this scene i understood straight away that this movie is going to have detective genre with parts of thriller.After he cuted the skin, we see him opening some book and starting to write some notes. The guys is dealing with some photos, cutting them,placing them in the water then sticking in his notebook. He is busy doing some work with photos and writting notes. There is a scene where we see a dollar note, and a written sentence where is a word God which is being cuted out which signifies that the guy doing that is going against all norms and values of society and is not afraid of god.A non-diegetic music is playing throught the whole clip, but it finishes with a non-diegetic voice saying " You got me closer to god"
