our idea for our thriller opening- Amy Beckwith

Our first idea for our thriller opening is:
It starts with a point of view shot of someone looking into the building from the bushes by the road. We are hopeing we will be able to see the figure of lady from the inside of the building so it will look like the person  is looking into the window at the woman. The shot then changes from outside to the inside of the office where the woman closes down her work, turns the lights of and goes accross the corridor and into the toilet, the shot then switches to her wasing her hands and behind her in the reflection in the mirror is a dark figure slit framed in the cubical. she then walks back into the office and her computer has opend up and new screen with the words "i can see you" on it, the office also looks like its been raided by someone. she then closes the screen and looks around for someone in the office. then suddernly her and the camera fall over and she is dragged off the screen by a unknown person.

We have talked about this opening and think that it is too much like a horror so we are going to change it slightly.

The idea we have come up with is geting rid of the drag scene and the computer i can see you part and change it to lots of files have been opened on her computer like someone was looking for a file on her computer, she closes a few and then the camera panns behind her where you see a siloute behind her with a gun and asks her where a certain thing is at the moment we are thinking "Scarlett" as it creates enigma as we dont know who or what Scarlett is as it could be a code name for somthing or a person thats missing, the woman smiles slightly like she was expecting it and knows what to do. The camera then panns back to the computer screen where there is a file open with the word scarlett in it, this will be the title screen. The film after our opening would then maybe flash to the woman being tourtured and men asking "where scarlett is" or the woman back at home like it has flashed back in time. The story of the film would either be finiding out what "scarlett" is or them trying to find it.

  1. Edit this and make it into a shot list of each shot you intwend to take. you can then use this to create your storyboard and animatic.

    I lioke the idea of the woman and camera falling over and being dragged away,

    Consider terminology when writing Amy - opprtunities for cross cutting here, subjective camerawork, depth of field etc etc.

    Your spelling!!!
