Anamatic

This is our thriller anamatic.
It is our story bored in motion. It is only a rough guide to what we are going to do, and it will not end up turning out exactly the same.

Ideas and thoughts

Ideas-
1) Abstract opening- no one acting in it, just the opening sequences made out of things. i.e the names written in a pool of blood.

2) Someone being murdered. at night, in a quiet street. no one else around.

3) Some friends out walking when some jumps out from hiding and tries to attack them, they have to try and escape, and then get hit by a car. Maybe....

4) Someone in a house on there own, its dark, they hear someone knock at th door but no one is there. they hear rattleing at the window, start to get worried and scared, they think they can see shawdows outside, dont no who it is tho. The go to pick up the phone but the line is down, and then all of a sudden the lights go out.

These are our first 4 ideas.

Idea 1 is probably the most practical idea as, it will be easy to do, and we might not have to go out of college to do it, a lot of it could be done on the computer, although it might be the most practical it might not be the best idea.

Idea 2 we will have to think hard about the setting, it will have to be chosen well, and a lot of thought will have to go into it. It will not be possible to do some of it in college.

Idea 3 will be quite hard to do, as it will have to be done in quite a specific location, it will also have to have be done in the right light to give the right atmosphere, dusk will probably be the best time. The idea of someone being hit by a car could be done where there is a shot of the car speeding along the road, and then a shot of the people running across the road, and then the sound of a crash and screems and then a shot of them lying in the road.

Idea 4 will be the hardest to do, as it will need to be done at someones house, we will first need to decide who's house to film it out. it needs to have quite a creepy feeling. it also is best to do it in the dark to give more suspense. Even though it may be the best idea, it will be the hardest to do. It will need a lot of thought going in to it. The sequence in this idea will need to be at a fast tempo to make it look effective, this will be good as it will signify the victims heart beating fast because they are so scared.

Real thriller opening sequence - Insomnia

Insomnia- at the start of the titles it is just a white screen with some names on it.


It then goes into scenes of a mountain, which does not give any indication of what genre of film it is.


The music is very slow and low toned, which gives the feeling that it is going to be a dark film. It has not really got any beat to it at all. The opening sequence is really strange, that goes well with the title of the film 'Insomnia'. You do eventually get an idea of the genre at the end of the titles when you see blood on a bandage.


The wholw clip send out out a message of mystery and confusion.
