Delirium Final Product

We hope you enjoy the final outcome of our project.

Continuity Sequence

This is the continuity sequence that we filmed. It helped us practice our camera shots, angles and transitions. This short sequence was filmed with the same camera that the actual delirium opening was filmed with. After filming this, we realised in order to make the delirium opening as good as possible, we would have to change the camera's brightness/contrast settings in order to create a more "movie like" feel.

Audience Feedback

We used survey monkey.com to put together a questionnaire to find out what our target audiences preferences were and the types of films they enjoyed watching as well as smaller details such as how many characters they liked to see in the opening to a movie.

Script for Delirium

Gullaid Ibrahim walks down the road and enters the estate via the gates.

He continues to proceed through the estate until he comes to a door (entrance to flats)

Gullaid Ibrahim receives a message from Thomas Tesfay via the walky talky:
"Have you entered the premises? Over"

Gullaid Replies to Thomas Tesfay's message via the walky talky:
"Affirmative, over"

Gullaid Ibrahim proceeds to walk up the stairs in the flats.

Thomas Tesfay contacts Gullaid Ibrahim via the walky talky once again:
"I will meet you there in twenty minutes"

Gullaid Ibrahim replies:
"Affirmative"

Gullaid continues up the stairs, reaching the top and goes round the corner. When he comes across the dead body he contacts Thomas Tesfay via the walky talky's again saying:
"We've got a two, two, five on our hands. I think it's an inside job."

After film darkens and Thomas comes around the corner, Thomas says:
"That's because it is an inside job."

The fuzzy TV effect takes place ending the opening sequence.

MoodBoard

Here is the MoodBoard that we created for our thriller film. It focuses heavily on the concept of surprise, which is demonstrated in our final opening sequence. The pictures have been taken from various different films such as Friday 13th, SAW, Unborn etc.

Delirium Production Stages

Throughout the production of our opening, we tried out many techniques and many different versions were created in order to find our final product. Here you will find videos of our previous attempts leading up to our final product.

This is our title sequence which I took responsibility for shooting and editing. It was a time consuming procedure but paid off in the end as it worked well with the opening sequence. We took inspiration from the opening sequence of the movie Se7ven, which we thought would create a very disturbing and mysterious image in the viewer's mind.

This is our initial attempt at making the opening scene of our film. It had certain good qualities about it such as having close ups but overall we decided this was not high enough quality to use for our final piece and did not do a good job of keeping the viewer confused.

This is our second attempt at the opening scene which we thought came out much better than the first. While there may have been no close ups, this was done to prevent the audience from getting too much detail in the inspector's face. We also thought the shots in general were smoother.

This is our Rough Cut, which we presented to the class and asked for their feedback on. They liked the editing that was used but said there was one particular shot that was not smooth enough and needed to be corrected. They also pointed out how Tom did not seem menacing enough and clearly viewing his face gave away too much about the movie too early on. We therefore took this on board and made the necessary adjustments.

This is our final product which rectifies the problems pointed out with our Rough Cut. We also decided it was best to tone down the colour of the opening sequence as in the rough cut it was sunny and made the scene look happy rather than melancholy.
