Opening Scenaration - Miss Miller

Using different ideas from our individual narratives, my group and I finally decided on a storyline for our thriller film.
The storyline of our film is based on a young girl who was in a forest walking alone. The girl then begins to have flashbacks of her playing in the forest with her sister and she then realises that she is dead when she touches her forward and blood appears on her fingers.
Through the clip, the audience then discovers that there was an underwater scene between the young girl and her older sibling which was the cause of her death.

The first frame of the film is based in the forest  and it was the young girl walking through the forest. For this frame, we used a long shot in order for the audience to be able to feel as if they are travelling on her journey through the forest with her.
The first frame includes bright lighting to suit the location and the setting which is a morning setting. This scene is the in where the younger sister is introduce.
The sound in this frame is mainly going to be diegetic as these are natural sounds that the audience will expect to see such as: leaves crunching underneath the younger sister's feet as she walks through the forest, the main editing style for this scene is a straight cut.
In this scene the younger sister is walking deep in to the forest which creates an enigma as we do not know why she is doing this.

The second frame uses a long shot which shows the little sister walking deeper into the forest.
Bright lighting is used with shadows of the trees on the ground to make it conventional to the thriller genre.
A jump Cut is also used to speed up the time taken to show the girl walking deeper into the forest and also fasten the pace of the scene.
In this scene the younger sister is walking deep into the forest, which creates a sense of enigma within the audience.

The third frame uses panning to emphasise her walking through the forest, it shows the younger sister walking towards the camera and then away from the camera  before she stops. The sounds in this frame are similar to to the sound in the first frame which is leaves crunching underneath the younger sister's
feet as she continues to walk through the forest.

The fourth frame in the thriller clip uses a mid-shot of the younger sister which turns into a point of view shot of what she is looking at, which is shown in the next frame. This scene is silent and uses non-diegetic sound in order to catch the attention of the audience for them to be engaged with the main character.
The younger sister stops walking in this scene because she notices something that looks familiar to her.
The fifth frame includes a point of view shot of the little sister looking t the tree and the location is still the forest but the camera is now focused  on a specific tree which indicates what the younger sister is concentrating on in this scene.
This object turns out to be the tree that she and her older sister used to play around which is represented in the form a flashback.

The sixth frame uses a full length shot showing the two sisters playing round the tree. high key lighting is used in this scene to show the transition from normality, into it's flashbacks, in this scene the older sister is introduced.
The sound in this scene is dulled out to emphasise the effect of the flashback. Laughing sound effects in this scene portray happiness.
This scene also demonstrates the younger sister having a flashback to herself playing around the tree with her older sister.

The seventh frame uses a fade effect from the last frame , it is located in the forest. The lighting shows the transition from the flashback to normality. The sound is dulled out sound to a loud effect to emphasise the transition.
The editing effect used is a fade into a long shot of the little sister walking away from the camera.
This scene shows that she hadn't thought anything of the flashback and so she carries on walking.

The camera shot used in the eighth scene is a long shot of the little sister walking away from the camera. An eerie soundtrack quietly plays slowly building up and creating a feeling of tension within the audience.
The younger sister has no emotional response to seeing the flashback of her sister.

The ninth-sixteenth scenes show the younger sister walking past the scarf and turning around to look at the scarf, then the younger sister has a flashback of her older sister fixing her scarf before they both walk away and then the blackout appears.

The seventeenth frame uses an over the shoulder high camera shot showing the reflection of the little girl in the river. The location is in the forest. There are elements of low key lighting but still reasonably bright to allow the younger sister's reflection to be seen.
In this scene, the little sister notices that she has blood on her forehead.

The eighteenth frame uses a high angled over the shoulder shot of the reflection of the girl touching the blood on her forehead, the young girl touches the cut to see if it is real or if she is hallucinating. 

The next frame is a close-up into the young girls eyes, after this close-up the girl starts reminiscing her sister strangling her in a river, she then realises that she had been murdered and picks up the rose, after this is were the title "nostalgia" appears on the screen.
