2. Rejected Ideas
• A man being a serial killer, and keeping a record
of all the girls he has murdered on his bedroom
wall. There would be a wall covered in dead girls.
• A lady who kills those who have hurt her in the
past, and now she has come for revenge.
• A young boy doing nothing with his life, no
qualifications, no parents, and no friends to turn
to, takes his anger out on the rest of the world.
I rejected these ideas because I thought it would
be difficult to portray this in just the opening
sequence without giving too much away.
3. Final Idea
• My final idea of the opening sequence will
be a conniving young women, be dating
more than one man, have them killed and
steal their money.
4. Inspiration
• My inspiration has come from a
programme Crime Watch, that I watched
on TV, and it was about a women who
married men who had loads of money, and
then killed them and got off with
everything they owned. I think this would
be a good idea because it is different to
most thriller films that are made.
5. Production Logo
• I will make my own production logo,
which will appear before and after the
opening sequence begins
6. Camera Angles
• My opening sequence will have a range of
camera angles, even when the same scene is
being shot. I think this will make it much more
interesting and realistic.
• I will be using close-ups for most of my opening
sequence so that not much of the scene is given
away, and would make the viewer wonder.
• I will also be using long shots, medium shots,
over head shots and over the shoulder. I think
over the shoulder would most probably make the
viewer feel suspense.
7. Characters
• The characters that I think I will use are my
friends from out of school because I feel they will
be serious enough to help me put this opening
sequence together.
• I thought that using people from my school,
would be difficult because they may have a busy
schedule and not have enough free time to film. I
will try my best to minimize the amount of
characters in the opening sequence.
8. Music/Background Sound
• When I thought about the background
sounds, I knew I wasn’t able to make a
sound good enough because I hadn’t tried
it before, so I thought it would be best if I
used a sound that was already made.
• I will definitely be using music which will
build up suspense and let the viewer know
that my opening sequence is a thriller
movie.
