The Vanishing!

Setting of the opening scene is in middle of nowhere. The idea of nowhere clearly shows by the long shot of trees, pond and country side location. Set up of location reveals the character is isolated person. A character is dressed in grey cardigan and loose trousers who is about mid 40 with short brown hair.. Grey cardigan connotes evil side of the character as later on the film we as the audience know he is a happily married man with beautiful wife and adorable daughter age 13. The conflicts shown in the opening scene is a man and his creation of poisonous drugs. The close up shot of small brown bottle shows the drug plays crucial role in the film.Throughout the opening scene of 'The Vanishing' the world is shown happy which makes the audience secure and calm but some how the tone of the sound in the opening explores the world is dangerous.

Locations for Filming

Our filming took place in Moreton Hall, we filmed in Brogan's Mum's bedroom for the 'Dad' scene, her hallway for the 'Mirror' scene and in Moreton Hall's forest for the 'Kiss' Scene'.
For 'Little Vicky's' scene we used my dad's house to film.

Post-Production

We are now at the Editing process of our thriller opening.
The video is uploaded and we have cut various shots down to the appropriate size.
For the flashbacks we have used LightRays, an effect that makes the clips seem dream-like with white borders to connotate the innocence of the child in the scene. We decided to put close-ups of both the father's and 'Little Vicky's' eye to get the message across that he is always watching her and she has been aware of this from a young age.
We have decided to make various background music but that is next on our list of things to do :)
Some scenes we have thought it best to keep naturalistic sounds to offer realism to the viewer, i.e. when the dad is watching television and waiting for his daughter to come home.
We have kept on track! :)
