The first shot shown below show a new setting, the hospital. These scenes were originally intended to appear here to show the audience that what the beat up Drew received previously resulted in him at a hospital. These scene here was very ambitious, now looking back not something that would be easy to do, showing Drew laying in a hospital with two other, shaded, transparent, ghost like versions of himself either side of his hospital bed. The apparitions were supposed to be representations of Drew in his current state, one apparition more clear than the other; the completely ghostly looking apparition to symbolise him in his dream state, the real Drew to represent his real life self and the in between apparition being to symbolise the in between dream state and awareness. Looking back on this shot now I have no idea how this would have be edited or filmed, not surprising me then that we never even got round to filming this part. We tried filming an alternative few shits of various people in hospital beds, tossing and turning as lights flickered on and off but this once again didn't match any vision and we scraped the idea.
The next shot shown here is the extreme facial close up, showing just the forehead and eyes of Drew. The idea of this was to have Drew, the character in a coma, dramatically wake up after experiencing a vivid vision/ dream that we see in the next few scenes. The idea here was to create a sort of panic, the audience turning uncomfortable from the intense stare Drew is giving the camera.
This idea was ambitious, and now looking back, we realise just how silly it was. It is unrealistic of someone to wake up so easily and quickly from a coma, especially after such a nock to the head. We also though that the whole dramatic eye opener was too cheesy and cliché.
The next final shots below are the last shots, showing the ending of our opening sequence. Drew, the main protagonist, in his dream state is waking up in a a mysterious field, a completely different location from the dark alley way that he last remembers being in before he was knocked out. The field surrounding him was meant to be misty and an off colour, looking somewhat realistic however still not completely realistic enough to seem real life.
The last shot before the film title is to be shown here, shot 20 shows Drew walking and exploring the mysterious field, coming across mysterious objects and sounds, looking around. The music to be put in this shot is to be dramatic and eerie, almost static in tune. At this point the shot is to fade, allowing the film title KOMA to fade into the screen, completing our film opening.
