KILLING SCENE

Our choice of location was really important for this scene because we wanted too use the mise-en-scene too really express the fact that the character who is robbed was very wealthy and rich therefor we chose a location that was very grand with silk wallpaper, candles on the wall and a grand piano which is a high ticket item. It makes it obvious too the viewers that the character is very rich and well off. We also dressed our actress in evening clothes too look more of the part. We then put the character in a very beautiful sparkly piece of jewerlly again too single her wealth, and too give a reason why a attacker would rob her. 

The next most important thing was too keep from the viewer who the robber was. So we had too choose our angles carefully too constrain the frame so that the camera didn't give away the identity of the thief. This is partly one of the things that thrillers deliver, they deliver the sense of threat and being in the unknown, when you don't know who the person is. The third thing that was really important too us was too use the reflective grand piano. It allowed us too have a  really clever camera angle that looked really beautiful in the light. It added a depth and interest too the work. 

Fourthly an finally we choose the black surface because we wanted the hair too be displayed clearly on the surface. This is a plot device, that hair is a key too identifying the woman later on.

  1. Detailed articulate reflection on your decisions. An excellent shoot, too, with good camerawork and direction from you.
