Filming methods

Throughout our 2-3 minute opening sequence for a thriller film, we will be looking into all the elements that form a successful thriller production and adding them into ours. We will ensure that all the micro elements; camerawork, editing, sound and mise-en-scene are added into our opening sequence and used to represent the different conventions of a thriller productions.

Camerawork: A large variety of different shots will be used during our opening sequence to specify the type of genre and make sure that the audience have a clear understanding that it is a thriller production. For example one camera shot that will be used is an establishing shot, which will be used during our opening sequence to show the audience that one of the characters are being followed, this shot fits well with the genre of our production as it brings a sense of tension and suspense to the scene in which its used.

Editing: When our opening sequence has been successfully film we will move onto the editing, this will give the overall film a huge transformation and will be editing using colour change which will be darkened to fit more into thriller conventions, creating a better appeal for the viewers. This colour change will be created using photoshop.

Sound: Sound will be an important factor throughout our opening sequence for a thriller production, as it is used to build tension during different scene and also adds a much more dramatic effect to the chase scene in our opening sequence. An up-beat tempo will be added during the chase scene on our opening sequence as it builds a sense of danger to the scene.

Mise-en-scene: costumes, props, lighting, colour and objects will all be added into our opening sequence to create a more realist effect for the audience.
