Xx Directors comentary- script and plan xX

1. We wanted to create a sci-fi thriller about the end of the world.
2. The opening sequence causes suspense and tension and entices the audience into the rest of the piece.
3. In terms of production we wanted to establish two main themes throughout Nibiru, historical and scientific
4. During the sequence, we only needed one main character. A young Female victim to evoke sympathy from the audience she is panicking and running which creates tension and ambiguity to the audience as they don’t know the reason behind her panic
5. We wanted to convey passage of time therefore we cut the shots in a fast pace of editing to add to the tension.
6. There was a change in the time of the metronome to portray the change in atmosphere this was achieved through a close up of the Newton’s balls clicking out of sync
7. When the protagonist was running there was a tracking shot to be next with prosthetic burns, which we made out of latex glue and corn syrup blood, we specifically changed the pace of editing to a longer manipulation through long shot. To create a contrasting relaxed atmosphere inside the blood cells.
8. We used an explosion as a transition shot in order to change into the planet sequence, we used after effects for this process therefore a fast zoom through the universe was created. There were moments of contrasting zooms such as fast and slow, created by increasing and decreasing the speed of the zoom. The purpose of this was to show abnormalities in the solar system and the passage of time

9. During this we changed the textures and colours of the planets to add to the abnormalities and unfamiliarity’s of the traditional universe

10. The majority of the production was made on adobe after effects, as we wanted to demonstrate surrealism and provide a unique selling point, enabling Nibiru to appeal to a wider distribution of the demographic profile therefore increasing its number of viewers.
