Title: 'UNDER AND ABOVE'
The reason for this title is because its the life underneath and above that are featured in the film, the picture shows this..
Tag line: 'Is it best to know the unknown?'
Description of 2 minute sequence: Men in submersible are in contact with men above (in base). They are looking for an ancient artefact. But then something goes wrong with the submersible. Base loose contact, and the submersible never returns.
How we show the 2 minute sequence (through camera): Man in base (main character, most screen time) walks into the control room (tracking shot of his feet, then see him put in code – close up of hand - and open leaver). He walks into the control room, lots of computers and technical devices. Cross cuts to men in the submersible, establishing over the shoulder shot of window in the submersible, cuts to close up of driver of submersible. Cuts to the radar (diegetic sound of beeping). Then camera jerks, show men faces shocked and worried. They try to fix it. Try and call above base. (camera shot goes up) Cross-cuts back to base, diegetic sound of man saying ‘hello’ but it’s a fuzzy sound. Dialogue of main man, asking if the submersible people can hear him through walkey talkey. Fuzzy sound on walkey talkey, main man trying to fix it, fiddling with technical things. Dialogue of man in submersible asking if the main guy can see what the problem is. Then they think its calmed down, close up of the main man, hears in the walkey talkey a crash, tries to get attention of the submersible men, no-one replies.
Establish suspense: through the music something like video in other post, shot types (for example the juxtaposition of an extreme long shot to a big close up – shown in youtube videos on next post.)
The information given: the radar tells them they are trying to find something. Also the fact that they are in a submersible and the control base is in contact with that. They’re having trouble (camera and submersible jerking).
Information not given: The reason they have gone down there in the first place. And why hasn’t the submersible come back up? What is the uncertainty?
Main plot: One submersible is going down to find ancient artefacts, but does not return. Another is sent down to try and find this submersible but what will happen to it and will it return?
