4. Brief outline of the whole film
A brutal murder caused by two twins sets
Detective Ashwater on a twisted investigation,
which ends up being a rescue mission to save
his partner from the insane killer duo before
he suffers the same fate, with some elements
of the fifties period.
5. What we will include in our
opening?
In our opening sequence, we will have it set in a house, in which it will be
very standard and conventional. It will begin with a display of an establishing
shot of the house, with non diegetic sound effects which will include: sirens,
conversation of the phone call, screaming and crashing of household objects.
The reason for this is so we can foreshadow the events that have occurred,
which in this case will be the murder of the mother.
6. We will display our sequence in the style of a montage
and continuity sequence, because we will be including the
aftermath of the event by using images of newspaper
articles and photographs. Whereas the continuity part of
the sequence will be displayed in the house.
7. Which films and opening sequences have
influenced you and why?
Shawshank Redemption - This film influenced our idea in
some ways because Shawshank Redemption involves a
banker who is sentenced for the murder of his wife, this
theme is similar as our idea involves a family murder.
8. The Walking Dead - Even though this is a TV programme,
some elements influenced our idea because it uses a lot
of foreshadowing, it’s genre is thriller and it includes
many hidden messages in the opening credits in which we
will be trying to achieve for our opening sequence.
