Introduction Of Characters
Chaos / Violence / Attention grabber
Teaser of the craziness of what's to come
The whirlwind of thoughts when you're creating
Buckle the fuck in… we’re taking you on a journey
Restaurant
Hopeful / Beautiful / Lonely
This is our moment to establish her
I want the audience to fall in love with her
Driving & Going Inside Mansion & Photo Shoot
Tense / Nervous / Scared / Fear of the unknown
I look at these three scenes being one rising situation
As mentioned on the phone call she knows something bad is going to happen
Wooden Room
No Music, let the audience take a break
Dinner
Beautiful / Emotional / Curious
Slowing down for a moment and getting to know this famous painter
The scene goes from curious, to angry, to confused, to acceptance of each other.
Finding the balance of tone shifting is critical here and will help smooth out the emotional transitions in the scene.
Without a motivating track-shifting emotion here we will lose a large percentage of viewers since it’s so dialogue-heavy.
9:00 mood is curiosity
12:00 mood changes to anger
14:10 mood changes to confusion
15:15 mood changes to acceptance of each other
Love Montage
Emotional / Trippy / Dreamlike / Atmospheric / Hopeful / Love
The only time Akila open herself up and shares something
This is our biggest chance to sell their relationship before we trick the audience into what really happens. She feels loved and he feels like he is giving her a gift.
Tunnel To Ext Studio To Suicide
Let's try to add that big minor note shift and let it ring out for the duration of the tunnel
BEAST (In the tunnel and waking up to plastic)
TITANE
NOCTURNAL ANIMALS
MIDSOMMAR
THE LIGHTHOUSE (The last few moments of crazy going into the nightmare)
Nightmare
Chaos / Violence / Unbearable
Style-wise for this section could be a callback to the beginning of the film
Penthouse / Paparazzi / Painting / Gallery / Mural
Emotional / Sad / Hopeful
I want the audience to never forget this section of the film. Giving them goosebumps and feeling a sense of loss just like Akila.
Similar to the dinner scene this will have to grow over a long duration of time for 8-10 minutes
