Health and Safety considerations:

Lighting:
When using either the red heads or the portable lights we must make sure that any waires are taped up and that the lights themselves are on a stable base as so thay do not fall and cause injury. GLoves will be used when handling these lights, especially when they are turned on to avoid buring

Props:
As we are planning to use knives in our film we must make sure that we handle them with care, especially around other people

Trains:
We are going to be filming at a train station so we must take obvious precautions to not endanger ourselves or other people that may be at the station

Synopsis of Thriller opening - David, Chris and Jamie

We want to keep the story of our thriller opening simple, but we also wish to make the veiwer want to carry on watching the rest of the film. We will do this through raising Enigma codes and use of restricted narrative.



The plot of our thriller will be based on a phycotic murderer who is pursuing a victim. We will base this in a village and the targeted victim will be at a train station when the attackes choses to strike. The victim is then taken back to a house where he is gagged and knocked out by the murderer, with the use of knives the killer will kill people from his list of targets. The list is kept in the form of pictures.

The film starts whilst the victim is on the floor of his house, there will then be a flashback and the story will follow from there.

Thriller opening analysis - The Godfather - David Duffy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_RcT9qCCFo

Charcter Types:



- Man in first shot, statrs off confident and slowly becomes more vunerable. use of toplighting to highlight him and make it seem as if he is under interrigation.



- low key lighting around the room does not reveal the other characters within the scene, creates enigma codes as to who these people actually are



- More dominent male character (Marlon Brando) is slowly revealed - we only see a silhouette of him - this creates more mystery



-Other characters only reveled later in the scene - creates mystery



- No obvious protaganist vs antaganist - not useful for developing character types but still useful for creating a sense of mystery that surround the two characters - so no binary oppostition

- All characters are male and are wearing smart, black clothes. Connotes a sinister aura from each character




Open/closed narration:



- use of closed narration whilst there is a dolly moving backward in the first shot. we only see a silhoutte of him whilst he is talking



- More open narration at the end of the scene where there seems to be more light



Camera Shots:

- First shot a slow dolly backwards from a close up of a man talkingl

- several close ups of both characters

Sound:
- No sound outside of dialogue - no other soundtrack or music after title sequence
- Good use of sinister music during brief title sequence - useful for us as it would be easy to do something similair with our film
- with no music - the mood is set purely by the lighting and the acting

Setting:
- Dark Room - constant low key lighting throughout the sequence - helps to create a sinister tone

Other:
- As this is only the opening to a thriller, we cannot fully analyse this because there is no clear chronological sequence to look at

- All though there is a set up at the beginning of the scene but we have no resolution to look at
