Initial Ideas

Initial Film Ideas
- Teenage Girl goes on killing spree and kills all the boys she has dated due to a curse given to her when born.
- Boy murdered, best freind unfolds the mystery behind the murder
- Girl abused by bully, turns into psychopath
- 4 teens in a media group , little do they know that one of them is a psycho, however all working together until they start to get freaked out by eachother
- teenager finds large amount of money in a train station and doesnt know what to do with it..unaware that he has soem of London's biggest gangstas tracking him/her

Types Of Characters We Would Use In Our Opening Sequence:
- Young adults - the reason we would definitley young adults/teenagers as our main characters is because as we are teenagers ourselves it is more convenient then having to schedule to film an adult and we can relate more to their lifestyles so easier to act out.

- Detective
- Psychopath
- Criminal/Villain
- The undercover enemy (enemy pretending to be friends with main (good natured) character but is secretly evil.

All of the above character types have a sense of mystery behind them, and to build up a film there needs to be alot of mystery and questioning, therefore these are strong characters to fill our film with suspense.

Types Of Locations We Would Prefer To Use:
- Basement
- Photography darkroom
- Park
- Canteen Area
- Elms Office

Location

This is just outside the room that the group of students were in - this is where they would come to when they leave the room on the other side. We chose this location because the classroom was not to far from the door and in front had night lights which were like dimmed glow that helped anchor a convention of a thriller, and create an eery atmosphere.



This is the door opposite the image above - this is where the group would exit.



Here is another better view of the block and the windows to the right is where Shenice would be filmed when she receives the phone call.



This is inside the classroom. Flashbacks would be filmed in here and this is also where Shenice comes in to get her phone and is filmed throwing furniture around.



When the group exits, this is where they would go on after they leave the classroom. They would walk down this pathway to exit the school.
As ideas changed and time went over, we decided later on to not film this part.


As for this image, it is a view of when you leavce the school gates. This is where the group of students would walk down and split up to go there seperate ways and eventually lead to a scream or somethign happening to one of them.
As for the previous image, this was not used or filmed because of time going over and ideas changing.

Analysing Results
























When looking at the result above it showed us that most people liked thrillers that were phycological. From this we will make sure that our opening sequence will show phycological elements because it is only an opening sequence not an entire film. If it was an entire film we would most probably use this result to choose the genre of thriller, because that is what most of our audience would like.
