Lights, Camera, Action - New Ideas

Previously we watched Danny Boyles 'Slumdog Millionaire' due to the fact that it is a British Film and we are studying the British Film Industry in conjunction with the Thriller genre in Media. We were able to use the movie as inspiration towards our opening sequence.

We also realised that watching films made by Alfred Hitchcock e.g.(Psycho) he limited the amount of characters he used in order to create an intense atmosphere for his audience. It turn we narrowed down the amount of characters from four to only two. Characters include; Christopher Morrison and Felista Kubuka. This will allow the audience to establish who is the villain and the victim.

Previously we had difficulties in finding a location to shoot the opening sequence. In order to prevent this form happening, we decided to use a location/setting that was always avaialbe. The only solution we came up with was to use my house; and thats what we did. This enabled us to add more action and drama to our Thriller.
