We want our title sequence to feel like a mystery and look mysterious and dark. Hopefully we can get the right lighting (kind of lowkey), but if not we can fix that sort of thing in editing if anything.
These screenshots from Murder On The Orient Express is the sort of feel we wanted for the evidence portion (dark, blue hues, mysterious figures, etc.). The quality on the pictures is a little iffy, but it’s definitely what we want to go for. The blue hue gives off a mysterious yet calm feeling on the audience as they’re trying to figure out what’s going on and why it’s there in the first place. The dark color also compliments the lowkey lighting we want to go for as well, even if that will take a lot of editing. It will benefit the feeling we want to evoke in our audience.
The next scene we have is the conversation between the female lead and the male supporting actor. For this scene, we want an office type of setting with warm undertones. It’s not anything super special but it shows the office setting and the feelings surrounding the case as well. It mostly sets the scene for the detectives to start investigating and being able to easily have that interaction between one another. The picture isn’t exactly what we want (or what we can get either), but we want an office building of sorts with this sort of feel.
We take a lot of inspiration from Murder On the Orient Express from both films to shape the sequence of our own mystery movie. It’ll work a lot better for us if we got the lighting and the look we are going for.
