Soundtrack Idea!

Group meeting 2: Reflections

After our first teacher feedback we have to reconsider some narrative aspects of our idea such as the party.
I am very pleased with the group meetings so far, I think we've progressed a lot in terms of developing our idea for the opening sequence. We're all constantly coming up with ideas and communicating them within the group is quick and easy.

Group meeting 1: Reflections

I thought our first group meeting was successful- we agreed on a great idea and established similar styles, programmes and films as possible influences. I am looking forward to seeing how this idea develops and working on it with my group ;)

Clips of influences

The idea of someone seeing things that aren't really there was influenced by the hallway scene from 'The Shining' (Kubrick, 1980):



The idea of a character witnessing a murder comes from Shaft (Singleton, 2000)

The idea of a character stalking another comes from Following, (Nolan, 1998)

Initial Ideas

Here is my brainstorm of possible events our sequence could revolve around:

Genre Research

Research

After our group meeting in class, we decided that the genre of our opening sequence would be 'Thriller' I looked through the various sub genres, of which psychological thriller interested me the most.

From Wikipedia:

This is mainly because it doesn't rely heavily on the use of props  (guns, knives etc) as much as 'elements relating to the mind'- which could become complicated but allows us less limits and more space to be creative as potentially, any thing could happen.
