My film opening is going to be very basic as I believe that
the most basic film openings are the most effective. The genre of my film will
be a thriller film, and in the opening I hope to make the audience uneasy and
make them feel uncomfortable whilst watching. It will involve somebody sitting
in a chair I a dark place, probably a forest, whilst a hooded figure circles
them. The hooded figure will be holding multiple weapons, including a golf club
and a knife. As the majority of thriller films do involve weapons I thought it
would be suitable and would add to the verisimilitude if a weapon were
included. I will use a variety of shot types, using extreme close ups, high and
low angle shots, to show both of the characters. I am going to use creepy music
to build suspense, with the music increasingly becoming higher pitched. I aim
for my opening to be very basic, however I hope in doing this it comes across
as very effective.
My opening will be a montage opening, showing lots of quick
shots in my opening and having the credits over the top. I have decided to do
this as I believe that it will be the most effective, rather than having an
animated opening for example, as this type of opening wouldn’t be as effective
for the type of film I am doing. My film opening isn’t going to be in the
equilibrium stage of the narrative theory, as it is going to be set at a
different part of the story. This will then allow me to do more in my opening.
