Remember:
An opening sequence can be used to introduce a range of genre characteristics
· character types, the way they look, their role and purpose (two detectives in Seven)
· main themes of the film (eyes and voyeuristic looking in Vertigo)
· some narrative elements (pre credit sequences in Seven and Blue Steel)
· symbolic and iconic images (hypnotic images in Vertigo, the killer's obsessive record keeping in Seven)
· some visual references to the title (think of Blue Steel, Vertigo, Witness)
· a sense of danger (Face/Off, Blue Steel, Seven)
Will you use a pre credit sequence and a title sequence or roll the credits across the first piece of action? You will only have a few minutes so don’t try and tell the whole story.
Things needed:-
· lots of close ups
· attention to detail, it’s the details that count
· think about camera position, framing, angles, moves etc.
· think about Mise en scene, what is in the background is important
· lighting can usually be improvised. These cameras work well in low light
· films get made at the editing stage so plan your editing from the start
· also plan how you are going to use added sound, titles and Photoshop work
Objectives are:
· to create an appropriate mood and style for your film
· create interest in the audience who should be left wanting to see more
· show an understanding of a range d thriller conventions show good/advanced skills in all the relevant technologies
