'one shot' #4

Next up, we've got a bit about the actual audio and visuals.

Light/Mood/On Screen

One of the most important factors of the mood in a film is light. Therefore, the lighting of this film should reveal the feelings and the atmosphere, which are emphasized with black and white colors, and would blend well with a fade out to black.

Music

The soundtrack of the film will consist only a heartbeat or ticking clock sound - maybe a mixture of the two. A natural feature of the heartbeat is that it can become faster/slower or louder/quieter at different points and so we will defintely exploit this to match the expressions of the film.


To expand a bit on these points pointed out by Andria, for the music/sound, for example, the heartbeats although recognizable from the start, over the duration of the piece will become grossly emphasised - louder, quicker. The final part of the character forming the line could be even more intense, with the sound completely taking over and being highly foreboding. This matched with the silence afterwards and a blacked out screen should make a real dramatic ending due to such s a strong contrast. -Noticeably then, sound is going to play a major role in 'One Shot'. If we were to neglect it would mean missing out on such a useful tool and would really make this half the film it could be.

In regards to the lighting and image on screen, a gringy, colourless feel would work really well. It'd provide an unsettling mood from the off and dictate the way this film should be perceived - not in the slightest is this a fairytale with a happy ending. Therefore, I should remember this is something we will have to keep in mind when it comes to the editing suite.
