My groups initial idea for our opening is a crime Thriller. We are planning to film in central London, maybe Oxford and Regent Street or Southbank. We want to create a tense, busy, quick-fire mood, rather than a quiet, spooky suspenseful feeling.
We came up with a vague storyline. Instead of having a stalker plot, we decided that the goodies would be stalking, or rather searching for, the baddie. What the audience will gather is that there is a company following a man, but they don't know what he has done. The head of the company will be a woman as we thought a man chasing a woman would send out a more perverse message than we intended.
There will be a lot of difficulties to face whilst filming, for example, we want to make it look quite big, and spectacle-ish with big buildings and computers, and of course we don't have the facilities or abilities to film that sort of thing. Hopefully our shots rather than the content will be assessed. Also we are filming in a very busy area so we will have to be careful with the equipment and hope that the busy effect we are aiming for wont just turn into a mess where you cant see who is supposed to be on camera.
We've taken inspiration from crime thrillers such as The Bourne Trilogy, where you are thrown into the story with no information. We are relying on having the enigma we will hopefully create to give the film tension.
Our film fits the thriller codes and conventions with the mood, which is tense and exciting. We have the stock characters of 'goodie' and 'baddie', and are filming in an urban area.
