This is our planning for our evaluation questions 1-3. This will help us when we answer our evaluation questions as we know what the main points we need to make.
We thought it was important to do some research on the content, style and feature of the films openings to identify techniques and incorporate the features into our short thriller opening sequence.
Different sub genres of thrillers have different openings it’s very important that the opening sequnence engages the audience into the story line. Opening sequences highlight the sub genre and what the movie is about. As I researched in more depth I realised that the opening sequences of the two main sub genres if thrillers; action and psychological. The opening sequences of thrillers are normally very vague and intense most of the time the audience is left to their own imagination. Action In action thrillers the scene starts with fast paced music in the background, jump cuts the actors are normally doing something interesting this keeps the audience want to keep watching. The scene is shot an unknown location and the opening sequence if very vague, which keeps the viewers on edge. The special features used connote to action. For example, the character is holding a weapon, which connotes to danger and action. Psychological Psychological thrillers start of with dark lighting and intense music the camera movement is normally very slow and with slow cuts. The opening sequences of psychological genres are normally very intense to keep the audience hooked. The content is very vague within the scene and the story unravels as the movies continue. |
