Why Kris is amazing

Hi I'm Kris and to the right (beneath useful links, labels and blog archive) there is a picture of me :D >

I look that smart every day really, even at school where I am currently studying media.

I love film and taking pictures, and if you scroll down the page you will see some random examples of this I have managed to dig up..

Anyway, on here I will be posting all my AS media foundation portfolio work and basically it will be pretty amazing...

Final Idea

Our final idea will start with a victim waking up. This will be a series of CU's at different angles creating a montage effect. The character will look around and motivated cuts disguised as cutaways establish various parts of the basement room. The victim will look down and more motivated cuts will show flash cutaways of his hands and feet chained up. This will be followed by some establishing shots of the victim in the chair chained up and the camera will arc the chair 360 degrees in fast motion. This will cut to POV shot looking through a gap in some shelves at this victim. Parallel editing between the victims face and the killers feet/shadows etc will build up tension as the killer comes towards the victim, picks up one of the weapons lined up on the floor (ip dip doo...) and raising it. We will not see the killers face yet, just the back of his head, but instead of killing the victim he cuts or rips off his gag and begins to speak normally. He is reasurring and charming in this shot/reverse shot conversational continuity sequence but much of what he says has hidden tones of twisted irony revealing he is treating his victims as "guests" hoping they have a "comfortable stay". Suddenly, he is more forceful showing his strength and power by forcing the victim to sleep using a drug. Then a long POV tracking shot will show the killer leaving the room as he murmers to himself creepily showing he is psychotic. He will pass other victims pleeing for freedom and eventually shots the door on a victim. We end on a shot of the victims blood smeared hand bang on the glass window of the door with a horrible scream. We will focus on this shot as the hand falls steadily down the glass and the killer says something ironic revealing more of the situation before we hear the killer footsteps leave. We will fade to black revealing the film title. Throughout the whole sequence random cutaway shots of basement objects such as a dripping pipe, flickering light, stacks of weapons and shadows will be accompanied by credits (director, producers, cast and company names).
