Despite the fact that I have already created a storyboard that matches with the time constraints, I feel as though having two narratives going on at the same time will correlate with Thriller directors such as Christopher Nolan (Inception, Momento). parallel editing adds pace due to the fact that the two storylines keep the viewer's mind occupied, and also interested in the product. The last thing I want to do is make an uninteresting product. Poorly made? Maybe. Uninteresting? Hell no.
So what to add to a torture scene that won't seem too out of context?
Jumping to and from the hostage to somebody travelling to the phone booth, running, to then call the hostage bloke on the phone. It will have to be shot at night. This will also allow me to experiment with shots such as Tracking shots handheld shots, POV shots and snorricam shots. Said snorricam shots are used by directors such as Martin Scorsese (Mean Streets) and Darren Aronofsky (Mean Streets). I could try to replicate these shot by having the actors hold the tripod to their chests, or strap a rucksack to their chest to hold the camera attached to the tripod in place.
SHOTS TO INCORPORATE
--POV
--TRACKING FROM BEHIND/MATCH ON ACTION/SNORRICAM
--HANDHELD/TRACKING FRONT
--POV TOWARDS PAYPHONE/MATCH ON ACTION/CAMERA STATIONARY INSIDE BOOTH
--FINGERS PRESSING BUTTONS/PHONE TO LIPS, HURRIED SPEAKING
--SLOW ZOOM OR EXTREEM CLOSE UP AS LINE GOING DEAD
