Planning: Treatment For Our Film Opening

From having another Google Docs session - this time creating a cluster of ideas for our opening two minutes - we have come to the conclusion of having our killer first walk into shot from the p.o.v of a mirror (with diegetic footsteps) - without showing his face - putting on his gas mask and headphones. When the headphones are fully on his head, the previously tinny sounding Camille Saint-Saens: Danse Macabre will be playing clearly (and non-dietetically) - with match on action showing the killer preparing and using the chemicals. My ideas were in yellow, Wik's were in blue, and Emma's were purple.

When preparing for the first kill - and committing it - almost every shot will be close up, focusing on the similar actions between making the chemicals and using them - making match on action and flicking between the two. There will also be sounds edited in to make the chemical sound as if it is burning the victim's flesh. For our titles, we'll overlay them onto our two minutes and end with a physical neon sign saying 'TOXIC" and flickering in a pitch black room. We'll do this with zooming in on something black in a chemical shot, then zooming back out of the shot - expect the camera now comes from inside the 'O' of the toxic - and finally, the killer walks past.
