I envisioned the camera rising up with Taylor as he breaks the water’s surface. I wanted tohe audienced to be involved personally with the protagonist as he crosses from one world into another.
I really wanted beautiful flying shots over the city, to give the film time to breath. For budget reasons, it was cut.
I wanted to drag this sequence out and really let Taylor drown slowly in this room. The tension was supposed to build here before he gets out. But again, due to constrainteds in and with the tank, this sequence was almost completely abandoned.
The door blows off. I wanted to see the bed, lamp, and other elements from the room floating around. I envisioned a low green light similar to underwater lighting for these shots.
“The water falls to the ground. Then he turns and we dutch angle slam zoom into the door just as it-”
“In the lower two panels we have the drop of water landing on Taylor. He looks up and sees the water covering the ceiling. Then the drops start to fall.”
“In the lower two panels we have the drop of water landing on Taylor. He looks up and sees the water covering the ceiling. Then the drops start to fall.”
“I wanted very long, tense pregnant pauses between the earthquake tremors. I then envisioned Taylor entering the bedroom.”
The first flashback for Taylor. “The earthquake sequence was meant to be much longer in its build. But due to time constraints, ithad to be rushed.”
