  INSPIRATION • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1nsgU0meaw • Iam inspired by the narrative voiceover in the trailer of Top Boy. I really liked the way its shot, with loads of montages and extreme close ups. Also, the iconography of the genre which I will then alternate to make it unique and to unit to our thriller. • I am also inspired by Halloween 1978. The idea that the murderer has mental health issues is something I want to try and incorporate into my opening.
• 3.
  IDEAS • So far,I thought an idea for what the film could be is someone who escapes from a mental institute so that they get revenge on someone. The reason to the audience is unknown to keep suspense and so they can discover the enigma. • I thought I could start with a narrative (the escaper) explaining their story, why they are doing what they’re doing and why they think they should do it. • Another possible idea could be that the girl is having family problems, and is running away from home.
• 4.
  LOCATION • For myfilm opening, we will be using a lot of different locations, the opening of the film is set in a park/woods which will either be filmed in Crystal Palace, Blackheath etc. • For the montage there will be a series of shots filmed in a lot of different areas such as a forest, house both interior and exterior, a quite road, and at Maudsley hospital.
• 5.
  SOUND • For theopening of my film, I’ve have decided to use slow soft orchestral music which slowly speeds up gets louder. I have decided to use this because it will gain tension between the viewers, and also sets the tone of the film. • Here is a piece of music we are thinking of using for the opening; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdd4wkWgvfs – adele- hometown instrumental http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeEDQMLtyGY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZemAoRzmobw – One missed call music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hio1fHy_3HM&list=RD02ZemAoRzmobw – dead silence music There will also be a lot of enhanced diagetic sound which will exaggerate scene and make the viewers tense.

  LIGHTING • In thethriller opening I am using, there will be a lot of low key lighting during the narrative part of the opening, but as the opening continues into the montage it will contain a lot of fairly high key lighting of the main characters and the setting.
• 8.
  CAMERA ANGLES • Iwill be using a range of camera angles which will firstly establish the setting of where the film might be set, also I will be using a lot of close ups and extreme close ups to show the emotion of the characters face, I will also be taking a lot of long shots and wide shots to show that the character is vulnerable and isolated.
• 9.
  EDITING • There willbe a huge amount of editing done in this opening scene, I plan to use a voiceover at the beginning of the opening, to tell a story as the starts straight into an action scene, also I will be including a montage of different scenes and locations what will appear into a film. • There is also going to be a filter on the camera which will make it seem melancholy and gloomy, which is also a typical convention for a thriller film.
• 10.
  CAMERA ANGLES • Wewill be using a range of camera angles which will to firstly establish the setting and also give viewers an idea of who is who. ESTABLISHING SHOTS At the beginning, I plan to use many establishing shots to set the scene and let the audience get a sense of where they are. CLOSE UP’S In the trailer for Top Boy, there was a series of close ups on what is probably the main characters. I liked this idea and thought I could in cooperate it into my opening. OVER THE SHOLDER I want to use this shot to give put the audience in the shoes Mise-En-Scene I also though it would be good to do a few shots of items that are typically found in a thriller e.g. Blood, knifes... FOLLOWING SHOTS I want to use following shots when the ‘victim’ is running through different places, to emphasise how far she ran for. Extreme Close- Up To show emotion of the character.
