3. Ideas Rejected: Part of our idea for our opening scene, is to have a home made video. We are going to show this by having a screen like the picture shown. However we all decided that this would be a bad idea as we need to show the examiner that we can use other cameras using different skills.
4. Inspiration: Below our some video clips which inspired us with our idea: Cloverfield Cloverfields was one of our inspiration as they have used some home footage to film. The footage which is used still captures the audience attention which we hope ours does. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufYF0f-zMgY
5. The saw The saw is one of our inspiration as it is a well known thriller film which has used a lot of ‘cutting out footage’ which we aim to use.
7. Below are pictures that we found inspiring as when we came across them we thought they would work well within a thriller or horror film because they’re hidden away in places that look and seem mysterious. The road looks like a place a stalker would wait around at and the spy hole always makes thrillers more exciting!
11. Casting For our thriller opening we have decided that myself, Lauren, Emily and Kerry will be in the video ourselves because we auditioned people to play the role for four characters but we didn’t think they were good enough, we could not find the right people to play the role of the characters. We will all be a key character and so therefore we will all be in the opening film. We will play four girls who are making a home video As our film is based on a stalker, we need someone (particularly a boy) to play the role of the stalker. Kerry’s friend Ben has volunteered to play the role of the stalker so we have decided to film him acting to see if will be the best person to act as our stalker.

14. Final idea: Our final idea for our thriller opening is: Four girls are at a sleepover, making a home video, however during the video making there is a power cut. During the power cut, the girls are confused to what's going on so go out to see what's happening, however what they don’t know is that there is an unknown man watching their every step. When the girls go back into the house to carry on filming, there is a knock, however the knock has not come from the door so the girls choose to ignore it. The knock then turns into a bang at the window, the girls go to see, however open the curtain to an unknown figure of a back of a mans head. Tagline: The known is unknown.
