Thriller Treatment
When we thought about ideas for our thriller opening sequence, we thought about what type of atmosphere we wanted to create for the audience and how the different shots will create effect.
We started with a count down from five to zero with a blur effect which built up tension and it gets the attention of the audience very quickly. The fan slowing down as the first scene makes the setting intense and may make the audience ask questions about its importance in the opening sequence , this may make the audience unease as they will feel like they are not in control and my make them produce questions from the beginning. A shot of knifes on the floor at his bedside could show he is use to using weapons and indicates danger to the audience.
We first see the character asleep on his bed, he has four flashbacks. One of the area which are flats at night time this sets the scene the angle makes the flats look bigger which may show why the character is disturbed by it, then the sign danger which could be a warning that there is danger to come then the last two flashbacks are of a dark figure moving quickly across the scene to different locations. Those flashbacks help to show to the audience some things about the characters past which will make sense further on the opening sequence.
He wakes up startled and gets up, he rubs his hands then quickly turns his head towards the fan. This could shock the audience which will keep the atmosphere we are trying to maintain. He stand up and turns off the fan then checks the time on the phone, even though we focus on the time the wallpaper is more important then the audience may think. It is a picture of a baby which could be his child and could play a big part in the film itself.
He takes two from many knifes on his TV stand and places it within his rucksack, those shot presents the main character as a danger to society and that wherever he is going to at the moment requires him to bring weapons with him. This is a key part of the opening sequence as it reviles parts of the characters lifestyle. Mise en scene is shown as we look at the characters custom as it is dark which is normally related to a negative character, also the props which were the knifes and the rucksack paints a bad picture to the audience. We us match on action when he is leaving his house so shots of him leaving his room and down the stirs to his door.
We then create an atmosphere where it seems he is being watched by someone as soon as he leaves his house. We then see a dark figure of someone standing waiting for him to leave his house and as the character is walking, we have a shot were we are in the place of the dark figure slowly creeping towards the victim. The dark figure reaches an arm towards the victim and as soon as he places his hand on him it goes into the title. The last scene was able to build up tension as the dark figure approached the victim and I think the music was able to produce the type of atmosphere we wanted and the sound of an explosion as the title will shock people.
