Storyboards and their resulting shots & floor plans

These shots were designed to show the first murderer character reflecting on what he had done, thinking he had murdered the man, the eating one being lit 'naturally' using house lights along with a reflector.

The bedroom shot being lit more formally, using the red for the murderous streak in the character an the green for the countryside where he had committed the attempt at murder.

This shot was designed so that there was a lot of time establishing the beautiful looking countryside before introducing the violence. The idea behind this was that the violence would bring about an abrupt and shocking end to the natural peace within the forrest.

This point of view shot, using focus to show the character's lack of full consciousness, is a shot which un-wantingly lets the audience identify with the character instead of just observing his actions.

The streak of red in this shot signifies this characters murderous intent and anger. It was lit with a spot toone side of the actor in order to create a shadow across his face to try and show that he has become a dark and splintered personality.

This sequence shot is designed, by showing them in the same shot, to show that revenge character is getting near to the other character, creating tension.

This stairs shot was the most meticulously lit, showing the breaking in of the revenge character and then the climbing up the stairs to the room of the other character. Through the use of specific lighting points we are able to split the actions up but keep them within the same shot, almost cutting without cutting, creating a sense of realism through long take and also a gradual building up of pace through different images.

Like the initial act of violence, the final revenge murder is presented in a single take, merely presenting the act. This was done to heighten the reality and shock of the action but also to present in a way that the audience would not be forced into thinking anything by the film itself, but to bring their own meaning to the events and what they mean to the film.
