Today we had a chat with out teacher about our opening to our thriller. He said he did not like the part about the ballerina hurting herself because it would interrupt the graceful dancing. I was worried that just having a ballerina dancing would not be thriller like but with the music and the titles we can make it very much like a thriller. After the ballerina scene we are going to have some titles then we will have a 30 seconds of the actual film. We are unaware of what this 30 seconds will be so I have been looking at film openings and what comes just after them.

I looked at the film opening to the others. This is picture is of the last bit of the title sequence. The music is very creepy which lets the audience know this film will be scary.

This is what came next. If you had not seen the rest of the film this house would not mean anything to you therefore this house shot is very random. The next shot is of a woman in bed screaming which again is unexpected. I found this was the same with most films. The shot after the titles sequence is completely different to where the titles had been shot.

My group now needs to come up with the 30 second scene. It could be a few simple shots of a town or city- an establishing shot.
