The search for the photo- comparison - Meg
In our thriller opening, we have a frantic search for a photo, which is a main part of the story, just like in '28 Days Later'. Although the film is a horror and includes zombies, they still have an opening scene of a man looking for people and society in general. Our opening isn't quite as dramatic, and at first, our character will just be calm and looking through a photo album.
If we compare this to the opening of 28 Days Later, the search isn't as frantic as we want our one to be, but the idea is the same. The takes last a lot longer than the ones we want to put in our film because we want to show the panic of the woman through pace. In 28 Days Later, instead of you seeing him physically searching for something, you see his journey out of the hospital. While he's doing this, the sound is silent and all you can hear is his movements, and this is how you know he's alone. There are shots of what he is doing and these are used in match on action and you can see what he is doing. We want to show this too, and use the same sort of pace of the action and the cuts. This would make her seem more panicked, and even though the man seems calm, the pace in those little shots made him seem panicked and really thirsty. The close ups of his face show the expression and how worried he is, and then go follow him so you can see how alone he is. We will be using close ups as part of our piece to show how she's scared of where her picture is.
