2. First things first, after the thriller genre was established by
our media teacher, to portray in our media product. I then
undertook numerous research methods. For example I
watched many thriller opening sequences and many films
to familiarize myself with the basic thriller genre and also
the typical conventions it illustrates in the films. Finally to
apply these to our production. Whilst doing my research
on thriller films, I noticed that in "Vertigo" they used the
eye close up to add more effect and tension and the
criminal is the prime suspect.

3. I used the similar idea of the short title sequence
of 'Whispers from within'. Where they
incorporated their title (Whispers from within) at
the end of their sequence. This gave me the
incentive to include this sort of idea in my
opening of my thriller film. The main my I would
incorporate this in my film it’s so I can create
that dramatic tension, so it makes sense for the
audience to understand the narrative of our
thriller genre. This is because the title allows
the audience the whole plot of our supernatural-
Thriller genre.

4. When shooting the main task, trials were very helpful because it helped me
know how to improve and shot did work and what didn't work. For
example, in the shot to the right, I tried to get this shot in different ways.
One of the ways that I tried to get it was under him, but looking back at
it, it didn't work because we could see the character as well as I wanted
to. The next shot that I tired was doing it behind him and following him;
however this didn't work because the camera was moving too much and
I couldn't get a clear shot of the main character that I wanted. Then I
tired the shot from the front, and this shoot worked quite well, because
it was clear that he was running and I was able to follow him without the
camera shaking as much. This is one of the ways that I developed my
opening.

5. My opening sequence follows most of the
conventions of the thriller genre because it has
a sense of mystery, suspense and tension. For
example, throughout the thriller opening, I try to
keep the identity of the man under the bag a
mystery for as long as possible until the very
end of it where we see that it is the clone. This
creates tension and suspense because the
audience audience won't know whether he is
the antagonist or the protagonist.

6. I didn’t want the story to be given away, by
using other famous convention such as
theme of mystery and by doing this; I got
the codes and conventions, but as well
as that I also broke some of the rules of
a normal thriller. This allows the
audience to want to see more or how it
develops.
