opening sequence

In our opening sequence we will need six characters. We need a victim that you see walking through a field ready to be attacked by the murderer, the murderer, a few faces of people who have been killed by the murderer before. Me and Nathan are the two people being filmed and having the main part of this film whilst Danielle is filming. We both have important roles as we have to act as people we are not used to. The other people who we are taking pictures of for the board in the police station are Danielle and 3 other people from our media class. These pictures will appear on the screen at the beginning of our thriller film.

My opening credits are inspired by the film Se7en, the opening credits in this film are world renowned for one of the best thriller opening sequences ever. I like the idea of the text not being on a blank screen and being on top of the film as it plays on because it is different and almost breaking conventions of thriller movies. My opening credits are very similar because i have still shots with text on top of them.

Here are some images of the Se7en opening sequence and of my opening sequence.

Script

At the beginning of our thriller film we are in a police station. In the background we hear police talking about the murders that have occured whilst giving clues to the audience as to why these have happened and there background information. Also phones are ringing in the background to give the effect of a everyday office. We can hear two policeman talking.
Police1: I don’t understand it…
Police 2: We need to find this man…
Also, there will be a news report on the murderers T.V as he is watching it, talking about the crimes that he has commited, which gets the murderer scared as he knows the police are after him. Today yet another victim has been found dead, stabbed a number of times. The killer has left behind a ring near the body and detectives are going to run a number of tests in order to find this killer; this is the fifth victim in the past week and police think it is the same person committing this crime.

Editing

Yesterday i had a free period and went to BB13 to continue editing my film. I added in titles and transitions that made my film look much more realistic than before. I cut out parts of shots that were not needed, i got samples of songs that i plan to add to my movie next time i am on the mac.
