Final Synopsis Idea
The final synopsis idea is that there is a box that everyone wants a man has the box and is burying it meanwhile a woman enters the area, takes a shovel hit's the man over the head with it (kills him) and takes the box. She then opens the box and looks inside, the viewer cannot see what is inside the box. She then closes it curb stomps the mans head and walks off with the box.
My Film Synopsis Idea
I was thinking that the general plot of the film would revolve around a box that everyone wants for some reason but the viewer themselves don't see what is inside the box until the end of the film. This idea I think fits nicely with the thriller genre as there is a sense of mystery and enigma as the viewer wonders what is inside the box. The film is given an edge to it as people would even kill for the box rather than just steal it. This would be shown in the first scene someone would kill there best friend for the box. Inside the box is the key to eternal power but no one know's where the door is. The killer now has the box and is trying to find the door. Other people find out about the box (main protagonist, criminals, other people) and are hunting down the killer. However what they do not know is that the killer is actually trying to find the door to destroy the box but he's going through anything to stop people obtaining the box and eternal power.
The film opening itself would be set in a woodland area or park. I think that it would be shot in a grey filter to make everything look grim (just incase it's a sunny day.) The opening would contain a man trying to bury the box and another man coming from behind him, killing him and taking the box. I don't think I would show the killer's face. I'm debating putting a narration over the scene just to describe the history of the scene, but I would want to create more questions than answers so it doesn't explain the scene just gives the viewer some context.

Student AS film review
These are some student films that I found interesting.
I think they have made this film in a great way I especially like the camera work because all the lines where done in one take so their was a very creative element that they used. However I think that the follow camera could have being improved but I can see how they tried to do an elaborate story. I think that the fast paced shots could have being improved.
I liked how all their lines where in one take so I might try to recreate that. although it would be hard as all the lines would have to be short and straight to the point.
I liked this opening because the general plot was good and I liked the use of close ups to highlight key features such as the persons face on the pages of the photocopier and the close of the wedding ring. However I thought that some of the camera shots were a bit shaky
I think I might use the tracking shot they used where it was a mid-shot at first and then the camera backs up as the person comes forward.
I think I will try to keep the camera on a tripod to make sure the shots aren't as shaky as this films.
I have to say this was probably my favorite film of the three because it used a wide range of creative camera shots such as the one from inside the hole with the actor looking down into it. I thought that the transition from the blanket to the inside of the picnic box was a very smart idea. My only criticism would probably be the flicker in the movie I personally wouldn't have added it but it was a nice effect it wasn't terrible it would just be a preference I wouldn't want.
I had something in mind along the lines of the blanket transition but mine would've being a boot steeping on the camera with some titles on the sole of it. I think I would like to use an effect like the static but mine would probably be just a grey filter or a light grey filter to make the film seem more dim with low key lighting.
Overall I liked this one the most as the plot is original and the camera shots/transitions are create and I enjoyed the film.
