Initial Ideas:
As a group we have discussed different story lines that we think would be best to create the most suspenseful opening to a thriller film. We also looked at different story lines that previous thriller films have chosen to use and judged which ones we think were most effective.
We circled around some ideas of themes that we could base our storyline on, four of them being a kidnapping, murder, stalker and a robbery. We feel these would be a good idea as they fit the stereotypical theme of a thriller film and will create suspense for the audience.
After much thought and discussions we eventually decided that we would look at doing a robbery as we felt that it would be a good theme to have as a base of our storyline. We would make it suspenseful by having the robber be caught by the family in the house making it more suspenseful and add the thriller aspect. This is significant in a thriller film as suspense is a key thing to be able to make the audience gripped and to want to continue watching it.
Firstly, we planned out the key points in the opening sequence to do with what the characters did and said and the main parts in the opening that had suspense. For example, our first idea of creating suspense is that, it will show the family coming back to the house while the robber is in the house and the robber is trying to get out of the house but is eventually caught.
After looking at our initial ideas of the plot we started to think about possible locations and props we were going to use. For example, we need a relatively big house to show the places in which the robbery is happening and him trying to escape upstairs.
Our task in the next lesson was to present our pitch and initial ideas to the rest of the class and get feedback about ways in which we could improve the pitch and things that we could change to improve it. Below is the link to the Prezi we made of our pitch that we presented:
