Beginnings

For my AS Media course, I have to create a 2 minute film intro in any style of my choice. My deadline is the 22^nd March and I am working in a group of 4. The group consists of other people in my media set who are Hoiman Chan, Daniel Johnston and Tyler Wilson. In our short film we must include different types of camera angles (that are characteristic of the genre) as well as using editing to create an effective image.

We have decided that the film is going to be under the genre of thriller since it is a genre that we all enjoy and believe that it will be an enjoyable task to attempt. To get an idea of what things we should incorporate into our film we have spent time in class looking at different opening scenes to various well known thriller films as well as writing detailed plans about what things we should include in our film. The openers we watched were from films such as Se7en, The Matrix, Drive, Goodfellas and Fight Club. All of which we have taken ideas and techniques that we are likely to include in our own piece.

We liked the idea of using voiceovers much like in the beginning of Fight Club as well as the fast moving frames that are found in that film alongside Se7en.
