Idea 2 planning of a Thriller

Idea 2 planning of a thriller

The opening sequence would consists of the titles running while there is a close up of photographs in a box being searched through. The opening titles would consists of the main actors, director, company name and logos, these would be shown a type of typewriter font to add to the mystery of the film helping to create a first mood.

The perfect location for this opening sequence would be a derelict building which could be the place of the murder which he recognised in the photographs. this location is a stereotypical dark and abandoned room/rooms.

This type of building would be perfect for the filming of our opening sequence as it helps emphasis the mood of the film type and there is open access to the public (R.A.F Upwood). the camerawork could also help achieve this as we could show the location/setting with the use of panning and close ups on vital props within the location. The other location we would be using is a office/room with a desk lightened with only lamp to create a dark feel towards the story. The other R.A.F base would jump to as the character remembers vital information.

All of these techniques and settings would help us create a believable crime/psychological thriller.
We would use the conventions associated with psychological thrillers such as memories, stream of consciousness so we get an insight to the main characters.

The costumes would be average everyday clothes (not bright colours) as it would distract from the style and mood of the thriller. The main character of the father would wear glasses and formally dress (detective like). The sounds would mostly consists of diegetic sounds such as flickering through photos, footsteps etc. (ambience sounds).

The editing of the title sequence consists of slow fade ins and outs and slow moving cuts to create a dreamy feel to the sequence. flickering text on title sequence (to create the effect of an old slideshow on a projector.
