The plot of the sequence will be set at a party. The main characters in will be introduced in the opening shots, interacting with extras as we gain information about them. Dancing, drinking, and chatting will fill the first few shots to set the scene as we advance to introductions. Suddenly, a deafening scream is heard from upstairs and immediately the characters rush to investigate. All they find is a Polaroid, drops of blood on the carpet and “pay” written on the far wall next to the open window. The police are called straight away until one of the characters discovered the hacked telephone wire. The characters then stay close together downstairs and decide what to do, who’s to blame and how to prevent another murder. Who needs to pay? What for? The story slowly unravels when the telephone rings; the same one without connection. Three words can be heard upon picking up; “three... two... one.”
The sequence will use continuity editing throughout though discontinuity editing could also be used to build up a sense of confusion and suspense as the story progresses. Angular shots and angles will also be used to provide a sense of noir throughout the film - a good example of this would be dutch tilts to represent how the characters are thinking after a few drinks and how they they get themselves in danger etc. Sharp and irregular shots and various depth of focus’ will also give off a really noir theme to the piece and will definitely be incorporated into the piece for effect.
Location is important to give a realistic representation of the story so location would have to work with all of the proposed shots. Props, costumes and performance all build up the importance of mise-en-scene also, so dummy alcohol bottles, weapons etc will have to be acquired for filming for realism.
