As it was meant to be a short enigma we deiced that it would be a good idea to allow the viewers to let their imagination do the work on what was happening. For starters at the beginning of the short clip Callum(the delivery man) enters the room, not once is it referred to that Callum is a delivery man or who he is. This gives the viewers a motive to question who he is or even create their own story for the character.
Then after finding the box Tom and I take the box to our, so called, lab to see what is inside of it. This enables the audience to make their own story on where is the lab or what is it. As Tom and I open the box we are greeted by a head staring back at us, it is uncertain whether the head is living, dead or false. As viewers see it, they are presented the head with a high angle shot which adds to the creepiness factor.
After seeing the head, Tom and I remark our disgust towards the incident. This gives the viewer an understanding that this is definitely strange for the characters. Tom then asks "who would send this to us?", after this is said the viewers crosscut to Callum behind the door without his disguise smiling at his work as if he had been watching the whole time.
After seeing all of the events unfold the viewers may question who our Tom and I's characters as like many other things they are a mystery. By the ending of the clip, the viewers would have been given just enough information to create their own story and see things in their own way.

ReplyDeleteYou and your group worked really well to devise a film opening that used enigma. The live head in the box was truly inventive and startling. I think that for a children's film or TV drama, you would have to go down the comedy or Scifi route rather than a gruesome murder. We will all enjoy the edit!
