OTS Planning

  • Frame one - Shot focuses on the corner of a table where you see a pool of blood, slowly dripping down.
  • Frame two - The shot then cuts to the lower leg of the table where we can see a puddle of blood that has been formed by the droplets. In the background an arm is seen laying across the floor.
  • Frame three - From a low angle, the corpse's body is shown. A woman in heels steps over it.
  • Frame four - The corpse is lying in the corner of the frame while the centered woman walks towards an open door, pulling her coat off a chair in the process. The light from the doorway creates bold silhouettes.
  • Frame five - A side profile of the woman is seen. The camera tracks her from that angle while she walks along a brick wall at night. Her breath can be seen against the cold weather.
  • Frame six - A low angle shot of the woman walking down the street from behind. Only her shoes are visible but in the background the feet of someone can be seen standing under a street lamp.
  • Frame seven - Side profile as the woman approaches the man (who has a clearly larger build than her), hugging him. 
  • Frame eight - During the hug, the man slowly pulls out a knife from his sleeve and that is where it ends.
Most cenes will be set at night, we will edit the lighting to be very dark and the objects in this opening title sequence will only just be visible through the heavy contrasting. We aim to quickly build up tension in our 'OTS' which will be the only thing that is unlike usual film noirs since they tend to be more slow-paced.
