Thriller Movie Planning

My group for the opening sequence of a thriller film is me Nathan and Danielle. In the first lesson Danielle was not in school, so me and Nathan discussed a few ideas that we might use. For instance:

• Revenge
• Murder
• Flashbacks
• Relationships

The idea of a flashback came because watching several thrillers we see that the majority of films that we have seen use the idea of a flashback. Another idea that we had for our first shot was going to be of a man laying on the floor blooded because this is also frequent in thriller films. We also considered a rough plan of the shot list.

• Credits
• Man blooded in floor
• Close up of mans face
• Blooded weapon on floor
• Close up of part of attackers face
• Establishing shot of area

This is as far as we got with this idea because we didn't plan for very long due to thinking of other ideas in the process. Another idea that Nathan came up with is an idea of several photos of characters being shown and the final picture would be of one of the characters dead. An idea to add in that i came up with is a time line type of picture sequence. Showing the characters life up until their death. These ideas are things we are just thinking about and are not guaranteed to use however we are more than likely to use them. The rest of our film will result in the characters death being solved and the story line being explained.
