Synopsis: (written by whole group)
A man is following girl. She comes from a rich family and so he'd kidnapped her to hold her for ransom. However she escaped after he attacked her and this is where the film opens from.A girl wakes up in the road and is clearly confused as to where she is. she then has a flashback and remembers that she was chased, she is running from a man who looks dangerous and is after her. She runs into a dead end and screen goes black then cuts back to her looking up and the mans there in front of her.
CASTING: (chosen by whole group)
Girl : Leah Aldrich
Chaser : Kieran Murray
We have selected these two actors due for several reasons. Their accessibility makes it easy for us to find time to film our opening. We chose Leah as she has an interest in drama and so her performance skills are good, and also she has dark hair which we wanted in our female character as in keeps the theme of our dark colors which we intend to use.Lighting decisions: (Hannah)
Again using other thriller openings for reference I came to the conclusion that generally thriller openings are either shot with very high key lighting, or very low key lighting. I think that this is to emphasis the mood of the sequence because just a standard 3 point lighting wouldn't create tension.
In the opening to 'The girl with the dragon tattoo' a very effective lighting method is used where the majority of the screen is dark however key aspects are highlighted using a key light. I think this effect would be easily achievable in our opening and would work effectively to build the initial suspense.
