1. Initial Ideas - The Crime - Comedy
‘Stripes of Events’ Film Opening Idea
Film Transitions:
I intend to use swipes going down for my title
sequence.
I would like to use match cuts, entrance/exit
shots, foreground wipe, look off and reaction
shot. I will be using these shots in-between
scenes and character intro scenes.
These shots require different techniques.
They add uniqueness to the film
Film Title:
The film title ‘Stripes of Events’ comes from no
inspiration but mine. I had an idea to use stripes
to represent events that happen throughout the
film. However, I did get the events part as an
inscription. Colours had meanings so why not
use the meaning of the colours to represent an
event. Although, the colour will have a dark
meaning to it.
Film Soundtrack:
The music I intend to use in my film opening
should be slow paced o allow the audience to
get a feel of the genre I chose.
The song shouldn't start playing as soon the
opening starts but I would like it to be a build-
up.
The song will not be forgotten by the audience
The Film Idea - Narrative:
The film will feature a murderer (the main character)
in a psychological thriller. The murder will be played
by a women. The women lives two lives, the second a
mystery. She is a normal working class women with no
family by day and by night she changes completely
into a murderer. She has friends but they don't know
her secret. They also don't know they are the victims
towards her killings. Her relationships with her
friends are very close. They think they know her very
well but they actually don’t. The reason why she
makes them her victims is because in her past they all
seemed to have negative impact in her life.
The opening sequence will have an introduction of the
murderer and towards the end it will have an intro of
Clothing
My costume will play an important part to my
film. The costume tells the audience a bit
more about the character and is somehow one
thing that sets the mood.
My costume will be very modern/western as
the film is set in this era.
Clothing I would like to use:
Blazer, plain white t, heels, sneakers, jeans,
leggings, hats, shirts, gloves, dresses, skirts.
Title - Stripes of Events
The title is based off of the stripes painted
down the woman’s face as well as, that is her
signature mark. The title will also allow the
audience to relate to the type of events
happening throughout the film.
Psychological Thriller Inspiration:
I enjoy how thrillers give off a sense of
mystery and how the story unfolds. I as an
audience enjoy trying to figure out who is the
murderer or who is the next
My inspiration came off the enjoyment of
watching other thrillers e.g. The Silence of
the lambs, American Psycho,
