Our scene will start with a black screen that will transition into a close up of church bells with the synchronous sound of the bells. The scene will jump cut to a close up of a woman walking in heels, along with the sound of heels and jump cuts once again to a medium shot, revealing the church in the background and introducing a woman dressed in all black with a veil over her face, walking into the church. She walks into a confessionary booth and begins talking but the dialogue is muted. The confession is cut into parallel cuts with a crime scene that is revealed through fast-paced close-ups. Close-ups would include bloody handprints, blood dripping (to the rhythm of the bells, which will continue playing quietly in the background), a broken frame of a married couple on the floor, the weapon used and the face of the man that was killed.
Although we have most of our idea planned out, we are still missing several factors. The wife is supposed to take revenge on the lover of her husband, but we don't know how to hint that into the opening without giving it away. We are also not sure if the idea we have now is clear enough without having to reveal who the woman is. We want to keep her identity hidden since she's confessing to the murder, so as to build up suspense.
We will finalize our ideas at the beginning of this week so we are ready to film on Saturday. Our only concern is that it will seem like it's a short film and there's no continuity to the scene. I will keep you updated on what we come up with this week!
