Editing Plans

We have several ideas for editing shots in our sequence to give them a more dramatic feel. We have decided to add smokey, cloudy effects to the titles to make them appear more dramatic and spooky. We are also going to use a glow effect on our characters face to make the scene seem more shocking.
We are also going to use CCTV's in our footage and make the image glow green and add several numbers to the frame to make the CCTV footage seem more realistic. Finally, we are going to dim the entire footage. It wont be made black and white but it will be dimmed to give it more of a dramatic feel.

Costumes And Location Plans

For our thriller sequence, we have several idears of where to film our project and what our characters would wear. We have sized down from our original plans of having a woman dressed as a businesswoman. Instead we are going to dress our character more casually, in ordinary day clothes. This is easier for us to get hold of, and makes the time we have to plan easier and more manageable to work with.

For our location, we are planning to use a changing room set, possibly using a showroom to give a scary, deathly effect of a shower running. We can use several locations to film different parts of the project. We can film some scenes in a small bathroom, possibly at college or at someones house. We can then film the other parts of the sequence in an open changing room, with maybe add on showers. The showers could be used to film the aftermath or the killing, and where the body of the murdered character would be left.

Our thriller title sequence

We have made alot of changes to our original plans, this was because of several unforceen events that caused us to change our plot. Our original plot involving the stalking of a business women as she is coming home from work and at her home and in the bath this plot didnt happen as we were unable to film over the weekend that we had planned. So we had to rethink our sequence, so we decided upon a flashback sequence that we could film in college and use effects instead of camera techniques to make suspense etc. our plot was of a girl getting ready for a night out so she is putting on her makeup in the mirror that is a flash back then we get to see her when she has been killed and she is lying in a shower cubical of a changing room we dont no why she is there and what happened but we can here the sound of the shower so the killer is trying to get rid of the finger prints and washing away the blood. The sound of the shower wasnt load enough in the original film so we had to rerecord the sound of the shower and played it all the way through the sequence. This was done just as an experiment as to see what it would sound like, but it actually sounded quiet good so we decided to keep it. We also decided to put our titles on an animated cload/fog background the aim of this is to create a scene of mystery and awe. The tittles move across the screen slowly to try a pressent a scary atmosphere. 

The First Drafts of our storyboard

More Advanced Plans

We have decided to change some aspects of our thriller opening sequence. Instead of using a large set for our thriller we have decided to size it down and have come up with several new ideas. We would still be basing it on a dark theme, using the same sinister music and titles. However our storyline has been altered to fit our new requirements. We have decided to look at close up shots, filming and editing close up shots to look dark and creepy. Our new sequence would feature close up shots of a character who is applying makeup while cutting her arms. Blood would flow from her arms and there would be no emotion in their face.

The female character would be applying make up to her face in the bathroom, although our camera would only catch close ups of her face, and you wouldn't see any of the set. and she keeps looking behind her because she hears noises and thinking she can see someone behind but when she turns around there is nothing there.

We have decided to give different camera aspects to our title sequence. We have changed the filters on final cut to give a mysterious aspect to the film, this includes black and white, and filtering different colours into or out of the film.

films that we are inspired by to help create scenes in our thriller. by fathima begum.
