Thriller Opening- Initial Ideas

For my Opening Thriller task I will be working with Tammy Baldwin.
Tammy is going to be in charge of the camera while i will be playing the 16 year old girl in the film.
We will also be using friends and family members in our film to make up the remainder of the characters. 

Scene 1: (Girls house)

• Scene one will be set at dusk. 
• A girl, aged 16, is having an argument with her parents
• she storms out, slams the door and starts to pack her bag while angry music will be  playing over the top of the scene, and this stops when she slams the door.
• The camera pans across some pictures on a shelf, the first one is of her parents, she smashes it on the floor.
• the next one shows the girls 'war hero' grandfather and the music changes to an emotional piece.
• she looks at the photo and then packs it carefully. She takes a deep breath then leaves her house (diegetic sound used).

Scene 2: (Grandmas house)

• The next scene is a dark rainy night.  
• The 16 year old girl knocks on the door and her grandma lets her in and proceeds to give her a drink. 
• (A montage with the same emotional music is used).
• Her Grandma and herself  sit on the sofa looking at an old photo album, by the fireplace.
• The girl yawns and they set up a bed on the sofa because the spare room in the attic is full of her granddad's old belongings.

Scene 3: (Grandmas attic)

• Scene 3 is set as a bright sunny day (morning).
• The girls grandma is downstairs and the girl is looking through the boxes of her granddads old belongings.
• she comes across a box filled with war medals etc., and a strange ripped document.
•  Finally she puts the two pieces together and finds something surprising. Dramatic music plays and the title sequence starts.

We will be using different types of natural lighting such as the dark and the light and probably some artificial lights to create a more dramatic setting however this means that we will have to be careful with our continuity. We will also use different camera shots and angles to make the overall video feel more real and more dramatic as it should do.
