• First, I need to do a title sequence for about 30 seconds，in this sequence there have a shadow of floating smoke, and the white foam of the drug dissolve into the water … in the first minute of the film, a girl woke up in the suitcase, she efforts to try to recall the last things what have happened of the night…she was reading in the living room and her sister handed her a glass of water, this cup of water has been put into some sleeping pills by her sister, and She drunk up the whole cup of water then go to bed … later at night, the older sister went into her room, then attempt to push the younger one to see whether she was sleeping or woke. Then she pushed the suitcase into the room & put the younger sister into the suitcase. When the night passed, the younger sister woke up then struggled, but no one noticed her screams. The older sister is very happy and doing her favorite things: manicure, surf Internet, reading books, put on lipstick…the younger sister recalled some of their past … A few days later when day at night, the older sister began to hallucinations, seeing her sister on her behind, but in fact nothing happened. Many days have passed, and the younger sister is not noisy at last, perhaps hungry died in the suitcase, the elder sister to open the chest, and found she fell from the suitcase… playback the plots: There are a lot of people come to their home, guests and younger sister are very happy but the older sister has a very dark look at what has happened … Finally, the elder sister holding her sister said: “You only belong to me at last”.
There are some footages from part 1 (drugging & locking):
- Shooting
- With regard to the film shoot: in July, when I carried out the film’s first shot, the original idea of shooting is what is happening now and what has happened in the past in two different colors, the things happened now used an orange-red tone, the things happened in the past used blue and gray tones. The whole movie shot was using static means. After the first filming there are a lot of issues which have been found in the materials: First of all, the first shooting was using HD mode, so I had to clip in high definition models with subsequent editing, but the scenes which I am in the suitcase can only be shot using DV mode, so that the editing process in the future will be a lot of problems. Second, the film looks too many medium & panoramic lenses, close-up lens is relatively less and static shooting makes the film was too monotonous, and compared with what I imagine, the shooting what I did is in a different rhythm. Finally, the adjustment of the light is too dim, and it making the film texture declined significantly. Then, with a combination of the above reasons, in early August, when I re-shoot the film. The idea of the last one got a lot of changes: First, the basic use of natural light in this film, I am using colored plastic bags for lighting, making a more gentle light textured in appearance. Secondly, the biggest breakthrough in this shot is the use of dynamic lens to shoot, although those can have an effect of making them more vivid rhythmic, the longer the time and the more the number of shooting (due to the inevitable dynamic lens instability, shaking and non-uniform) will be taken, and one shot is often to shoot 5-6 times. Then, I added a lot of close-ups, which will help to express the purpose of the action and the actors emotionally. I also shoot a lot of empty lens, & the use of these lenses is to connect the various parts of the movie.
The reasons why do I want to change the purpose of killing in my story: First, I do not want to apply the one I already know, because the story will only be applied blindly and I will lose my creativity. Second, shooting a funeral is a difficult thing, and I need to find a cemetery, and then to find a number of actors, including a major actor, as well as one need to be played as dead mother. In the beginning of the film when I asked ken, ken said that I do not need to shoot a funeral, only need to be filmed in the form of photographs. This suggested that I continue to follow the point to my new ideas. In the past two months I have been thinking about a reason for abnormal homicide and also a friend of mine recommended me that killing for love or revenge like the old routines, but I insisted to find a metamorphosis reason which I feel able to meet my requirement of the killing subject. Finally, I decided to use for this reason: because her sister’s possession of desire is too strong, and led to her sister think that if her younger sister die that will not keep on chasing someone else to play, and will forever be a girl who belongs to her. I think this is very in line with my theme.
