PLANNING -

We have been discussing as a group ideas for our opening sequence of our thriller. We had some ideas about using a discrete title sequence with flashing images and non-diegetic sound, the main part of the opening would be a girl walking through an alley. This would have left the audience to make assumptions about the film and the variety of shots would help to imply what the film would be about.

However, we realised that this would be a common choice and that we should have some ideas that would not have been thought of before.

Nyomi suggested using an elderly woman as the main character of our film. The woman would be walking home/to her house and drop her shopping. A man would then offer her help but at the end of the sequence he would be filmed lying on the ground and the woman would continue walking. 

This type of opening would be a narrative opening. 

One of the locations we were thinking about using is Brick Lane as there are many alley's and bridges that would help to create a mysterious atmopshere for our thriller opening.

This idea appealed to all of us as it isn't a typical opening to a thriller, and we could develop this idea further and alter it in the future.
