ZODIAC (2008)  opening scene: Zodiac is a psychological thriller film, based on the original, real-life serial killer, known as the zodiac killer who's written messages contained different transcripts of messages.  This film also relates to my own film, as it’s based on the original zodiac killer, who’s been hidden amidst the shadows since his last murderers and his identify was only revealed earlier this year (2021).  As the killer’s info is scarce, and his motive was and still us unknown, it relates a lot to my film, as I wasn’t too sure whether the motive was unknown or known. In the opening scene, the setting is first shown - San Francisco. The location looks 3D as though it's not real and completely CGI.  The typography used is Futura light, and through a fade out of the characters, the original writing the zodiac used is then shown.  The subtleness of the fade out, really helps build our understanding of the mov...

Music/score  🎶 Claire Du Lune, Debussy — most often seen in film and connotes various meanings, in the way it’s presented. Most famously seen in Ocean’s 11, at the very end of their heist, at the fountains and it connotes the idea of serenity with peace.  🎶 Chopin, Nocturne 2, op 9— notable. A relaxing track, which could be listened to when doing sewing.  ‘Godzilla’ Trailer, Dougherty (2018) The Godzilla trailer features Claire Du Lune as the background score, in order to firstly heighten the fear, and it plays very ominously as well, therefore creating a creepy atmosphere. However, towards the build-up of the track, it becomes more hopeful and angelic-like, and overall ethereal.  Dexter S2, Ep 7, features Chopin nocturne no. 2 op 9. - Dexter is a series based on a serial killer.  Soundtrack links: Spotify link for Claire Du Lune:   Spotify link for Nocturne No.2, op 9:   Score for Film I intend on using classical music for my score, as classical mus...

  ALL MY PROPS  1. Polaroid photos of the various victims (captions not included, will only be written in further pictures). All of the victims will be shown lying dead on the floor with blood around them. 2. All the items of a necessary needle kit: scissors, needle, threads, measuring tape, and pins. For the actual film, the scissors and needle will be bigger.  3.  Clothing: Black suit for tailor shop/during the day  https://images.app.goo.gl/XX3kkg1kvRZDhxCr7 4. Mannequin -- to look as a dead person.

This is how I picture my serial killer to look from a victims pov.  They’ll be shown as a silhouette in some shots, to convey to the mystery and further build tension.  Asides from the outfit, the top hat (may be included) in their hand conveys the idea of a prestigious tailor.  https://fontmeme.com/take-my-breath-font/ UPDATED STORYBOARD: 1. Killer WILL NOT be using a cap.  2. Killer’s full identity will not be shown at any point during the opening. 3. Killer will not be writing captions underneath the polaroid pictures, nor will they have a large 'wall of death'.  4. Only dialogue will be at the very end, in which the second victim asks if their dress is finished being sown.
