Planning - Opening Timeline

Opening Timeline
Initial Ideas


  1. Ident - 5 seconds
  2. 0-5 seconds - long angled shot of female character running into the scene from behind
  3. 5-15 seconds - mid shot of female character slowly walking to tree with picture on - touches picture and pulls it off
  4. 15-20 seconds - close up of the picture and name on the picture (Leona Bilby) and then a shot reverse shot to show character's reaction 
  5. 20-25 seconds - flash back of what the picture shows (Leona and Cameron laughing)
  6. 30-35 seconds - end of flashback as she takes drops the picture - pan to the floor as it falls
  7. 35-45 seconds - mid shot as the female character walks over to another picture and looks at it, another flashback plays
  8. 45-50 seconds - a canted low angle shot shows female character backs away from photo and falls down next to a piece of wood
  9. 50-55 seconds - the wood reads 'Cameron Price' in a burnt looking typography shown from a close up
  10. 55-65 seconds - the female character then stands up and continues to walk shows by a mid shot
  11. 65-75 seconds - she notices a picture on the ground and reaches for it, another flashback plays of Leona and Cameron not looking as happy 
  12. 75-80 seconds - flashback ends and she realises the picture is on fire - she flinches as  it burns her and drops the picture
  13. 80-100 seconds - a long shot shows female character begins to panic and walks faster and notices a note nailed to a tree - more credits are shown on the note and a picture attached shows another flashback of Leona and Cameron fighting
  14. 100-110 seconds - a mid shot from the side shows the female character holding the photo and she walks away with it - panicked 
  15. 110 - 115 seconds - a long shot then pans to the front and the female character is finally revealed and looks shocked at what stands before her
  16. 115-125 seconds - shot reverse shot is then used to show the female character looking at a man, it then shows her reaction then the man walks up to her
  17. 125-130 seconds - the man stabs her and she falls the the ground
  18. 130-135 seconds - a graphic match starts from the wound until it shows her lying on the ground
  19. 135-140 seconds - a canted low angle shot shows the man walking away

These are like the shots that will be used that are spoken about in the timeline. The close up is good to use because it shows emotion well and helps focus on the current situation more clearly. The long shot will show the surroundings so that the audience know where the opening is taking place and it sets the atmosphere and mood. The canted low angle shows the vulnerability of the character and the fact its canted
