IDEAS FOR OUR THRILLER OPENING

IDEAS FOR OUR THRILLER OPENING

 

 

 

 

We have had several ideas for our thriller opening. Firstly we wanted to research locations. We discussed different areas around where we live to see if they were appropriate to what we wanted in our opening. We wanted a forest like location to film in. Rachael suggested a location near where she lives. However, so have I, we have decided to take a look at both locations to see which one we prefer or which one is more suitable.

 This is the sort of location we are searching for to film our thriller opening.

We knew we wanted the atmosphere to be rather eerie and needed a character based around this atmosphere to make the opening tense. We decided to have a girl dressed in a white night gown, either a ghost or a mental institution runaway, we are undecided at the moment. We wanted her to be sat under a tree, and have another character running in the forest, on her way home from the gym or the shop etc. It was her normal route home, but this time the unexpected occurred. I thought different angles and shots crossing over of the girl and the white night gown girl to show how she's looking for her until they are face to face. I recently thought of two ideas to make the opening more effective. A. Have the camera zoom into her eye as if it was a flashback and have her at the police station trying to get her attention and then the credits, or just after the face to face encounter it go black with a slight ringing in the background then the credits coming on.



This is the sort of thing we are searching for,
for the girl in the mental institution.
