Scene Walkthrough

Starts with a shady character talking to the assassin. They both nod at each other and look up and the camera cuts to the hacker.

There is then a long shot of the the hacker to show his solidarity.

There is then a tracking shot of Stephen walking through thebuilding into the room with the computer where he will complete his hack.

It cuts to Harry walking down the stairs near the room where Stephen is. He breaks in through the window before Stephen walks in.

There is then a panning shot of Harry holding a gun to Stephens head and making him walk.

There is then a close up of Stephens face when he is made to sit down by the computer.

Finally, gunshot.

Thriller Opening Titles Practice

We have also added titles to our thriller opening using Adobe After Effects. 

Characters

Computer Hacker

• Props - for the computer hacker we need the actor to wear either smart office wear or casual wear, depending on the hierarchy of the workplace. More props that the computer hacker would need is a computer, a chair, an office and a desk. Various other office equipment would be advised as well.

• Additional Information - The computer hacker is going to be played by a male as I think it appeals to viewers that can associate with violence, also if played by a female the film would be too controversial and risky. The face of the computer hacker may or not be shown, depending on who and how well the actor beforms.

Killer

• Props - for the killer, a hooded jumper or jacket may be needed in order to cover the identity so that the viewer is left in suspense and left wanting to know who the killer is. Another prop needed would be a knife or a gun. However a knife is easier to find than a gun so this would be the more likely weapon.

• Additional Information - The killer can be female or male because the killer will be almost covered to hide the identity of the killer. A mask may be worn but this could borderline onto a horror movie. 

Our Thriller Ideas

Moodboard 1

This is a collection of some of the ideas for the characters in our opening for our thriller. We will also have the build-up of how the murderer gets to the scene. One idea would be to arrive by car then have shots of the killer travelling by foot. In between this would be shots of the computer hacker at the scene of the crime working by a computer, with close up of the screen such as the middle-right picture seen above. Then as a cliffhanger the computer hacker will by stabbed in the back by the killer. This will finish with the killer walking out of the building. Hopefully this will create suspense for a thriller film.

Rainbow Productions Intro

For our production titles introduction we used Photoshop and Keynote to create the effect that makes the rainbow wipe across with the title. We also added audio from the opening intro for Paramount, which was trimmed in GarageBand to fit to our production intro. Also I think that the audio fits with the background as it looks like a picture from Wizard of Oz.

Rainbow Productions Logo

We based our logo on Castle Rock Entertainment Intro in which the lighthouse shines it's light to reveal the words. We believe that our logo represents our production and that with an animation can be added to the beginning of the opening title for our film.
