Flashback Shots: Blood in Bath

• 
  
• At certain points in our opening, the camera flickers to shots that tell the audience about the killer's past (their past victims etc).
• Included in this are shots of a bath with blood in it, referencing to the fact that our killer bathes in blood to stay young.
• As these shots will not last for longer than a second, I felt that there was no need for a high quality camera.
• All of the shots were close up shots, as the focus of the shots was on the blood, and the body from which the blood is dripping is only alluded to.

• Some of the shots were of blood dripping onto the white surface of the bathtub, inspired by the opening credits of American Psycho.
• These were created by simply dripping fake blood from a spoon.
• These shots were the most difficult, as it was important that the shadow from the camera and the spoon could not be seen within the frame.

• The other two shots were of blood pouring towards the plughole.
• These shots were created by
• I feel that these shots are more effective for the horror genre, as there is a greater amount of blood.

• When the shots are put together in the opening, they will only appear briefly, and will flicker between flashes of white, similar to this short clip:

  Overall, although the shots were not of a very high quality, I feel that this was a successful session, as the shots did not need to be of a very high quality due to the fact that they will only appear for a very brief amount of time.
