Location

For the location of our opening we originally wanted to set it outside by a canal, we then thought about this more and listening to the feed back from teachers we realized that our story-line is already quite cliche, and by setting it outside we are adding to this. We came up with the idea of setting it in a bedroom, we all had roughly the same idea of what the bedroom would look like, so i went home and took pictures of my spare room, what i thought would be a good place to set it.

Props

For our thriller opening we want our room to look different from what would usually be associated with a thriller film. After we thought about the location, we then thought about what props we could use in the room to make it look different, we looked in the art cupboard and got some ideas to push us forward in our planning stages.

Location

For our opening we have been thinking about where to film it. We wanted a location that isn't cliche but also that is associated with a thriller. we came up with the idea of locating it by a canal, we haven't seen or heard of a thriller film that is located by a canal, because hannah lives near one she offered to go and take pictures of it so we could see if it was suitable for our opening.



I think this would be a good location, i think that it would be more effective if we shot is either in the morning when it is still slightly dark or in the evening.

Brainstorm

We did a brainstorm in lesson to come up with ideas for our thriller opening, we thought the most important thing to think about was the basic story line, from that we could figure out the events that would take place. We thought that a flash back would be a good idea, this is because form past experience of watching films danni, hannah and i all enjoyed this sort of interesting openings of films and from our research we found out that our target audience prefer films that involve a bit of thinking. Our idea was to zoom the camera into our characters eye, giving the effect that it was going into her brain we then were going to create a montage  of pictures of her past, we also thought about having something in every pictures that connects with each other, so at the end of the film the audience can relate them together. We also thought about deaths, because we want our female character to die, we were thinking of different ways this could happen, originally we wanted to have it as a stabbing but soon realized that this had been done many time before
and we wanted to do something different.
