Final ideas

During our lesson on Thursday with Rebecca and Laura, we had been set the task of brainstorming our ideas about what our real and final thriller film opening was going to be like and what type of thriller it was going to be. Our first task was to decide on what type of thriller it was going to be e.g. political, sci fi, supernatural. After a group discussed we finalised that we wanted to create a political thriller with a hint of supernatural. Our next task was a lot more challenging than deciding on what type of thriller we were going to create, we now needed to create a plot for our them of a blend of political and supernatural.
Summary of our plot:

A ‘business man’ heading down the stairs/escalator.
‘Business man’ walking through the crowd, we use P.O.V shots at this point and Mid-shots.
We then see him heading unto the DLR and once again, we use P.O.V and Mid-shots.
After this, we cut to the next scene showing the city skyline and Canary Wharf in the distance (this shot is going to be filmed from Greenwich Park).
Throughout all the scenes above, we get constant close up at the suitcase.
The ‘business man’ then gets into a lift and we use match cutting again to show him as he gets off the lift. Finally, the suitcase is left on a set of steps.
Whilst doing all of this we also had to incorporate all of these ideas into our pitch that we are going to present next lesson to Mary. We had designated different tasks put to different group members as everybody in the group had to speak during the pitch. A pitch is when directors go and propose their ideas to publishers e.g. Fox Century or Warner Bros.
