Synopsis (2)

The synopsis to my opening sequence is pretty much the same as it initially was, however we are going to be representing the dolls in a different way then we had tried to at first. In our first draft, we actually showed real dolls, however, this didn't look well on camera and ended up looking amateur against the bad lighting and camera quality.

Due to these problems, we decided to use our main character to represent a 'doll' by dressing her in red high heels, putting red lipstick on her and showing her brushing her hair etc. We then took these normal shots of a girl and distorted them by having the same things being done e.g. putting lipstick on and brushing of the hair but we will have this done by someone else instead. So the difference between our first and second draft is that the first one is more literal when it comes to dolls whilst our second draft is going to be more about representation and is going to create a more realistic and twisted meaning to the title 'DOLLS'.

Finally, we will be keeping the element of not giving to much away and creating the illusion that there is more to come as we are creating a title sequence so we need to remember that if it was an actual film, it would carry on from the end of our sequence. To put this into practise, we decided not to show the 'murderer' or other character except for their hands when they are putting lipstick on the girl etc.
This was also done in our first draft and worked well so we will be using it again.
