Cupboard
These are my own photograghs
I want this first scene fluorescent; candy inspired consisting of blues, purples and pinks. It links to the story line of a utopia candy world but still involving a slight cold sensation that holds within the atmosphere. The shot will move forward from a long medium shot into a medium shot of the entire door which will take 4 seconds whilst the door of the cupboard slightly opens with blackness inside. The lighting will be normal room lighting from above. The angle should be straight forward towards the centre inside the cupboard. The music will begin quietly in a delicate tone like a children's music box.
Dining Room
These are my own photographs
The dining room will begin from a high angle on the side looking downwards swirling round the table of candy with the characters sat round it; it will take around 12 seconds. The third shot will be looking straight at the table downwards zooming upwards into the chandelier (backwards) which will take 3 seconds. The fourth shot will be a long shot of the whole table of all four characters zooming into a medium shot from the side taking 3 seconds. The music stays the same.
Sweets
These are my own photographs
The shot will begin as a close up of the candy land creation on the table zooming outwards slowly with then a sudden medium shot on the other side of the table revealing the entire table top in 3 seconds. The table will be filled with a mountain of bright colours with sweets covered in paint and glitter. I want the sweets to be in baby colours like candy floss. The glitter on the characters also represent the sweets so there will be around 3 medium shots of the glitter pouring in their mouths from the cans of soda pop as well as 2 close up shots of their eyes that will be 2 seconds each. The music will be louder keeping that children's music box tone.
These are a few experimental photographs I took myself with glitter, I edited around with different fluorescent colour lighting to brighten the glitter up so it can be scene specifically on the face.
Characters
These are my own photographs
The characters are going to be around three or four people. They will have similar themed makeup looks but not exactly the same; they will have different colours each of glitter around their eyes and coming out of their eyes. Their lips will also be covered in light bright colours that match the sweets with glitter coming out which connects to the scene with the sweets. While they are sat around they will be representing the utopia world of expressing the colours and mainly glitter on the whole table taking it all in like an addiction.
Cellar
These are my own photographs
The cellar is an important scene that links to the
cupboard showing the darkness that’s really inside that you cannot see in the
first scene. I want the shots to all be in black and white that are
in the cellar apart from 2 flickers of fluorescent colour to represent the link
to candy land and the cupboard, the scene will start in the fluorescent colour
of blue for about 2-3 seconds, the second flicker will be in the middle of
around 1 second. The reason I want the cellar to mainly be in black and white
is to represent the dystopia side. This is when the music gets a sudden twist that sounds
almost uncomfortable to the ear. The first shot of the black and white will be centered zooming outwards of around 3 seconds. The second shot will be from the side of the cellar
seeming like a CCTV camera in the corner of both sides, the shots will be jump shots being around 5 seconds of them. This is where a flicker of colour is
included into the jump shots where the room is empty. This is where the music
gets suddenly louder synced with the shots. The third shot will show sudden darkness filling the
whole cellar like black smoke for 2 flashing seconds. The fourth shot will be of the key in the door turning
(locking itself) taking 3 seconds. The music is throughout the key turning
silent with just one off high pitched tone.
Sweets (mixed order)
The sweets
will be represented in the characters mouths coming out as black thick ink. The
black thick paint will also be coming out of some of their eyes. The sweets are
then represented as intoxicating being part of the dystopia world. All the
shots will be close ups of their faces. There will be around 5-6 different
shots muddled in taking only around 2 seconds each. This is where the music
begins to go chaotic with all the muddles shots. These will all be in black and
white.
Characters (mixed order)
These are my own photographs
The characters will have a sudden
change of behavior acting as if they have suddenly gone mad linking with the
sudden change of black and white dystopia darkness and being locked in. They will be doing as they wish
around the table such as crawling all over the place, scuffing their mouth with
sweets showing the insides, throwing things around, different facial
expressions etc. Most of the shots will be in either
medium shots of close ups.
Dining Room (mixed order)
These are my own photographs
This one
scene will have around 3 shots within the muddle of the camera being in one
still image of a 2 second reveal of a hyper lapse of the characters going crazy
around the table, this will also be in black and white.
Reverse
These are my own photographs
Everything
will then be reversed of the whole dystopia side but only slowing down on the
key unlocking then still reversing ending the reverse at the beginning of the
cellar.
Cupboard (ending)
These are my own photographs
The whole
opening will then end with the cupboard wide open with darkness inside as if
you are coming out of the cellar then out of the cupboard revealing the reality
of the candy land.
The music
will then stop with total silence, the title of ‘Sugarcoated ‘ will then pop
out from the darkness only fitting into the darkness. The music
will then suddenly become load again as the title comes up. This whole
shot and scene will last around 6 seconds. The title
will come up for the last 3 seconds.
