This clip from hollyoaks shows newt and his imagereny friend eli. we thought that this idea would be a good twist to our film opening as it worked very well in hollyoaks. we aslo thought taht we would be able to do many different and experimental camera shots with this. But then at the same time you have to be careful with the camera shots so it is made clear to the audience that its an imagenerny friend and not just another person. We hope to achieve this by using proxemics between the girl and the imagenerey girl. Also by using a blur effect. In this clip at the stage were lauren newts friend has taken his pills and there is about three camera shots that show her to be quite disoreintated these are shown in a point of view shot. This helps the audience to see how she is feeling. We are hoping to do this in our film opening. We would show this when the girl can feel that her head is going and needs to take her pills. This will be at the start of the opening. I think a point of view shot is key in our opening as it is important that the audience know how the girl is feeling and what she can see. The difference with our film opening and how we are going to portray this imagenery friend is quite different to the way hollyoaks did. This is because we know that eli is newts imagenery friend because he has been to the doctors and they have told him he has got schizafrenier. But with ours we are not using dialogue so it is going to be harder to portray this without it looking like some one following or stalking a girl. This will have to purely be done through camera shots. We will show links like pills and a dizzy head. I think without the dialogue in hollyoaks you wouldnt have known eli was his imagenery friend as he i just shown like a normal person.

saw 3 anaylis
://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucqya3dUgow
This opening scene of saw 3 really inspired me to do a scary theme for my opening scene. It starts with a shot of a torch which is for the set lighting and is used to set the scene. This is the only light used on the set. Infront of this light is a gun and a man on the floor struggerling and reaching for this gun. I think this is a real strong opening as it gets you straight into the action and instantly sets the atmosphere. This is shown at a low angle shot. They have done this so it can help the audience to feel the struggle that this man is feeling. Also with the audience being so close to the action it adds to the atmosphere of the uneasy and uncomfortableness. The lighting stays the same throughout the opening.The torch light creates shadows which emphasises that he is on his own as it gives off a clostrophobic feel. Its mainly dark then there is a slight light shone on key props that help the audience to get a better idea about whats going on. For example the light is shone on a chain that is attached to his ankle. The light is the shone on a saw which he is holding next to his foot which indicates that he is going to saw at his foot. to get out. There is many point of view shots in this as the man is holding a torch which is the only light, which means there will only be light where this man is looking. The man then turns around and finds another man dead on the floor with a trail of blood behind him and this other man foot detached from his body still held on by a chain. This then tells the living man and the audience that this is what this man is going to have to do to get out of this chain, to saw his foot off.
They have used non diagetic sound in this and it was continuely playing throughout the whole of the opening. I then notice the music got to a higher pitch when the man was about saw his foot off. This is to help bulid the suspence of the climax.
I thought it was really clever the way that with the lighting being very dark that the audience were still able to get a clear idea of what was going on in the scene. By shining the torch light on key props. This has inspired me to experiment with camera angles, and especially lighting.
