PROPOSAL

INSPIRATION• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1nsgU0meaw

• I find this trailer of Top Boy inspirational because of the narrative voiceover. It was edited to have loads of montages and extreme close ups. The iconography of the genre which I will then alternate to make it unique and to unit to our thriller.

• Halloween 1978 also inspires me. The idea that the murderer has mental health issues is something I want to try and incorporate into my opening.

IDEAS• So far, I thought an idea for what the film could be is someone who escapes from a mental

institute so that they get revenge on someone. The reason to the audience is unknown to keep suspense and so they can discover the enigma.

• I thought I could start with a narrative (the escaper) explaining their story, why they are doing what they’re doing and why they think they should do it.

• Another possible idea could be that the girl is having family problems, and is running away from home.

NAMES• I am still uncertain of a name, however here are a few ideas.

The Last One

LOCATION• For my film opening, we will be using a lot of different locations, the opening of the film is set

in a park/woods which will either be filmed in Crystal Palace, Blackheath etc.

• For the montage there will be a series of shots filmed in a lot of different areas such as a forest, house both interior and exterior, a quite road, and at Maudsley hospital.

SOUND• For the opening of my film, I’ve have decided to use slow soft orchestral music which slowly

speeds up gets louder. I have decided to use this because it will gain tension between the viewers, and also sets the tone of the film.

• Here is a piece of music we are thinking of using for the opening;

There will also be a lot of enhanced diagetic sound which will exaggerate scene and make the viewers tense.

LIGHTING

• In the thriller opening I am using, there will be a lot of low key lighting during the narrative part of the opening, but as the opening continues into the montage it will contain a lot of fairly high key lighting of the main characters and the setting.

CAMERA ANGLES• I will be using a range of camera angles which will firstly establish the setting of where the film

might be set, also I will be using a lot of close ups and extreme close ups to show the emotion of the characters face, I will also be taking a lot of long shots and wide shots to show that the character is vulnerable and isolated.

EDITING• There will be a huge amount of editing done in this opening scene, I plan to use a voiceover at

the beginning of the opening, to tell a story as the starts straight into an action scene, also I will be including a montage of different scenes and locations what will appear into a film.

• There is also going to be a filter on the camera which will make it seem melancholy and gloomy, which is also a typical convention for a thriller film.

CAMERA ANGLES• We will be using a range of camera angles which will to firstly

establish the setting and also give viewers an idea of who is who.

ESTABLISHING SHOTSAt the beginning, I plan to use many establishing shots to set the scene and let the audience get a sense of where they are.

CLOSE UP’SIn the trailer for Top Boy, there was a series of close ups on what is probably the main characters. I liked this idea and thought I could in cooperateit into my opening.

OVER THE SHOLDERI want to use this shot to give put the audience in the shoes of a specific character.

Mise-En-SceneI also though it would be good to do a few shots of items that are typically found in a thriller e.g. Blood, knifes...

FOLLOWING SHOTSI want to use following shots when the ‘victim’ is running through different places, to emphasise how far she ran for.

Extreme Close-UpTo show emotion of the character.
