Thriller Shot List




In fridays lessons, myself, Jemma and Elise took this time to focus on what type of shots that we will be including in our opening sequence. These are the following shots that we come up with:
- Images of Newspapers
- Close up of the words on the newspapers, for example a headline saying 'TEENAGE GIRL MURDERED'
- Close up of the girls different body parts whilst laying on the bed
- Establishing shot of the new family walking into the house then mid shots of them walking around the house
- The title sequence mixing in with the action

The next thing that we come up within our group was the title for the film. We decided to call the film 'Inner Fear'. The reason why we decided to make this our title was because all the fear from the little girl who had died will be coming from inside the house.
After that we decided to work on the order that our opening sequence will follow.
The first thing that will appear on the screen will be totall darkness, then 10 quick layering images will appear of newspapers. Then the screen will go black again and some titles will appear then we will have a shot of the new couple walking into the house. After that, our names will come on the screen followed by another 10 quick shots of newspapers but this time it will be close ups of the different headlines about the girl that died in the house. The title 'Inner Fear' will then come on the screen followed by short sequences of the couple walking around the house in different bedrooms. When we film in the bedroom, there will be a flash back of how the girl dies, screaming, then the little girl screaming will zoom in on the girls mouth then it swaps to the woman screaming. Then we will have a shot of the couple cuddling at the top window and a ciloette walks past behind them. Then we have a shot of a newspaper saying a young couple have died and no evidence has been found.
As we started to work on our final ideas we knew that the idea with the flashing moving images of the newspapers coming on the screen with the headings would not actually work as we did not know how to produce this idea. Because of this I come up with a new idea of having flashbacks of a girl that was recently murdered appearing on the screen in the house where a couple were being shown around by an estate agent. The whole reason why I liked this idea was because it would be easier to produce and it still would come out with a great effect.
We also worked on what characters we will be acting as.
Little Girl Murdered: Elise
The Couple: Nathan and Jemma
Estate Agent: Elise's Dad
