This is Damien with his wife and son. He is the perfect example of an older viewer that would enjoy this film with his family. They enjoy catching up for dinner and a movie and admit this film would be great.

This is Stacey, she is eighteen years old and this is her idea of a great film to watch at the cinema with her friends or on a night in with her boyfriend. She is looking forward to watching the film.

This is the house where the basement scenes will be filmed.

The script

There is not a lot of dialogue in the title opening sequence. There is more action and music used. Here is the dialogue that will be used in the sequence:



The phone rings as Stacey is walking down the street after leaving the house. It is a quiet but an embarrassing ring tone. She answers the phone;
Stacey: “Hello, It’s me, I am on my way to the train station I won’t be long.”
She hangs up and then continues to walk down the street.

Opening Sequence Plot

Our Group Meeting

In one of our group meetings we decided the storyline for our film of our opening title sequence. The film is about a psychotic man who stalks his victims at an underground subway station and takes them to a basement at the school where he works as a caretaker. When he is stalking this particular victim he is with his friend who makes it his mission to find his friend as memoires of the kidnapping haunt him. The question is will this friend find him in time before the killer can finish his work?

We also decided the title of our film which is Fifth Avenue as it fits well with the storyline and leaves open many possibilities.

The location of the underground station scenes will be filmed late at night at Fifth Avenue underground. The exterior shots of where the basement is will be filmed at Greenwich college round where there is a dark exterior hallway with a door that looks like it goes down to a basement. The basement scenes will actually be filmed at a house that has a basement.

Costume that they will be wearing will be smart/casual clothing as the characters are out in the evening returning home after a party. The killer will be wearing work clothes e.g. overalls and the make-up will be very pale make up to make him look creepy and ill.

The lighting in the sequence will be quite dark as it is in the evening and filming in dark places with shadows. This follows conventions of a thriller film, having “shadowy” rooms.

This is a Spider diagram of possible ideas about our opening credits

The opening title sequence uses many codes and conventions of a thriller genre film such as intense music, a quick pace and flashes of bright light.

The music in the opening title sequence is a high pitched instrumental sound which creates tension for the audience. This is non-diagetic sound. There is also some diagetic sound in the sequence of a character screaming and her heavy bleeding and the sound of the blood dropping. This sound hints the genre to the audience. It gets their adrenaline pumping and starts to make them feel nervous. This grips them to watching the rest of the film.

The editing and camera movement has a quick pace which is in time with the music. There is a zoom in used to get a close up of the blood dripping off the knife on to the floor. The music matches this action. The prop of the knife is another big clue to the audience of the genre of the film which is a thriller film.

The type in the sequence is yellow and looked etched on with a sharp implement also to hint genre and create horror just by words on the screen. The type had yellow nail marks through it to show that this is not a science fiction film it is a horror with humans in. Through some of the type was bright flashing lights to hint the setting of the film. It would be dark and light would be needed. It also creates tension.

All of these things create tension and fear for the audience which is what keeps them gripped throughout the film.

Possible Location

This is a meeting room that was a possible location. However we decided not to use it because it looked more like a lounge area than a meeting room. Another reason we decided not to use this is because it did not have many office features, for example an interactive whiteboard.

Possible Location

This is another possible office space we were considering using but decided not to because of the divider you wouldn't be able to see a lot of the actions.

Preliminary Video Plot

The plot to our preliminary video is about a female character called Stacy that finds out she has done something wrong towards her higher ups. She goes to her boss’s office to explain and ask for his forgiveness when it all goes horribly wrong. Only to wake up back at her desk to find out that most of it was a dream and still needs to come up with a solution.
