Location

For our Thriller opening, we have two different locations that we will use to shoot our scenes at. The first location is a Hall with a stage and we thought this location would be appropriate as it fitted the storyline perfectly. 

The second location we have selected is a woodland area as we thought that this would give a dark feel to the opening as woods have connotations of obscurity and evil. 

1st Location- Main Area of Shooting

Other area of shooting

In this photo we are going to be shooting a scene that contains a box buried underground, hence the hole in the ground.

2nd Location- Main Area of Shooting

Other Angles of Location

Here we have some other angles of the location including a POV shot from one of the characters and a low angle shot. These types of shots will be incorporated in our Thriller opening and this shows an accurate representation of this. 

Final Storyboard for Thriller Opening

The following images below are our final scanned storyboard to the opening of our Thriller Movie. All the images are listed in order of the shots. 

Thriller Survey Results

Here are my results from my survey about personal preferences and people's way of thinking about Thriller Movies. By using these results I can take into consideration the opinions of the viewers and therefore make my opening more successful.  

From the first question, I can conclude that all the people who participated in the survey watch Thriller Movies.

For the next question there are mixed reviews for how often they watch Thriller Movies. Two out of the three people said that they watch Thriller Movies 1-2 times a month with the last saying they watch them 3-4 times a month.

The next question was about putting the listed films into order of personal preference. The two films that were the most frequently selected at the top were Inception and Bourne Ultimatum. The film that was at the bottom every time was Vertigo. This could be because of the age of the film.

Question 4 asked about where people watch Thriller Movies. The two highest answers equal in score were DVD and Cinema. I was quite surprised at this as many people use the internet and online film companies to stream films.

 Here, viewers were asked to choose their favourite director. The director with the highest votes was Christopher Nolan who directed films such as Inception and Dark Knight, two huge Thrillers.

Question 6 was one of the questions that was going to help me with deciding on how to produce my opening as it showed what people enjoyed seeing in a Thriller. The results revealed that the most popular sub-genre was action. This is the most probable route I will take with my Thriller opening.

Finally, the last question asks for feedback from the respondents about what they think makes a successful Thriller. Comments include "Mystery", "Suspense", "Action" and "Sound Effects". I will be taking all these into consideration when I create my production.
