Examples of influences

There were quite a few influences on our final idea, including professional films and student idea's that we had looked at before starting our own pieces. Taking aspects like fast editing, unclear shots and the idea of keeping up as much mystery as possible until the very end. All these ideas have been brought into our opening and in doing this our opening has followed many of the conventions found in thriller films.

Initial Ideas

At the start we came up with a few ideas and possible openings for our thriller project. Some of our ideas included scenes of a man being followed by a mysterious figure (location: woodland area) - this then involved a fall where the person being followed trips and then the dark figure falls from a tree landing behind the victim. This concept then evolved into the death of the victim. Another idea we had was a crazy man looking up pieces of news paper and gathering information on his latest victim. It was from a mix of these two ideas we got our final idea.

The props used in our sequence are computer monitors, a study, views of doors and house hall ways, a knife, a dining room and the view of someone in a busy area.
We will only need 3 actors for our opening with no extras.
