Our Thriller

Establishing our groups and ideas

In class, we have been put into groups to start thinking about our ideas for our opening title sequence of a thriller.

We all shared our ideas, none of which we thought were either interesting or achievable. So we developed a new idea. We have yet to establish what the synopsis of the film is but the opening sequence is like this:

A close up shot of a digital alarm clock. It is dark and in a bedroom. The window is opening and there is wind coming in and blowing the curtains. There is a shot of a tap dripping making an eerie noise. All of this tension builds up with a heartbeat sound effect over the top of the clip, then suddenly the alarm clock starts blurting out music, and the man in the bed slams it off with his hand.

I will be working with Luke and Vlada in this task. One of the potential weaknesses could be that we could get bored as our idea is fairly simple. However, a potential strength could be that it is very effective as it is so simple.
