Initial Ideas for Opening Sequence

When coming up with an idea for our opening sequence to a film so many ideas went through the groups heads. What we firstly did and thought was a good idea was to do spider diagrams of some genres and write down our thoughts for them. We did diagrams for Thriller/Horror, Romance, Crime and Action. We decided not to do comedy because we knew that it is the hardest to produce and film. We also found that action was quite hard to come up with ideas for because there is restricted things to do. For Romance we came up with a really good idea but just couldn't picture were we could film it, to get the right scene and message across. So that left us with Crime and thriller/horror. As a group we had a lot of ideas that we kept coming up with for these genres. Eventually after debating for a while on which one would be better to do we came to the conclusion to go with horror/thriller. We chose to do this because we thought that the idea that we had come up with we be better to film and would have more effect on the audience. So just like for our preliminary task we got started on the story boards. This was just to give us an understanding on how we would work and also give us an idea on how many characters we would need and what sort of props we would need to use. After that we had come up with idea which would be to film at night in a long stretch of path way with the idea of a women running thought there being chased but we don't know who by. All the audience will see is the shadow of the chaser. We have gone with this idea because we thought the effect on the audience would be really good an would thought as a group we would all be able to contribute to it and make it effective to watch.
