Midterm Idea

Elevator Line- As the captors remove his blinders, Scott has seconds to try and escape.

Theme- I want to make an action short. Utilizing After Effects I will create styilized muzzle flares, explosions, and manipulation of characters on video layers. The short its self will be about a man trying to escape from mysterious captors.

Synopsis- We open in a basement, a man with a hood (Scott) over his head and bound hands is placed on a seat. The hood is removed then he is asked for cooperation, after agreeing his hands are cut free. Once that happens he attacks one of the captors grabbing a gun from his hand and shooting another man across the room in the process. Then he begins to go up the stares and as he is about to reach the top a man opens the door. Scott shoots a propane tank he is carrying down the stares. After a few moments of reaction from Scott he makes his way out the door ending the short.
-place- basement/house
-time- night time
-atmosphere- tense and suspenseful

Tone/Execution- I want the short to look like contemporary films that take notes from film noir masters. Like Brick. I want the aesthetic to be very starkly lit and I also want the composition of the frame to be extremely controlled to the point of it being graphic.





Objective- The goal of this piece would be to create a good looking composited action scene. I have never attempted to create an action scene and I feel that After Effects Lends its self well to this sort of project. Over all I want to gain more experience with video compositing that looks realistic.
