Update on storyline of Thriller

Over the christmas break, we have decided to change the storyline of our thriller from the opening title sequence by introducing a new character. The reason we have decided to do this is because, when shooting the pilot thriller we soon realised that the opening credits may not be long enough to interest and engage an audience for two minutes.

The opening credits will now feature two different locations; an abandoned warehouse/basement where our original characters will be introduced. This will be two men, who appear to be looking drained and who have just woken up from being unconscious. Both characters will be sitting opposite to one another over a fairly large table, and are tied to the chairs via straw rope. They will be slightly battered and bruised but not enough to draw too much attention to this. However, instead of a gun on the table an old landline phone will be there. At this point, the audience will be left unaware of the importance of this phone, however, after a certain amount of time (approximately 30 seconds into the film) the phone will ring. It will then become evident that the characters are both struggling to reach this phone, as it may serve a level of importance to these characters lives.


This will be set here, in the studio (these pictures have been taken before our set has been made).

Meanwhile, in an outside location in a remote area, we will see a car where a lady with a large cloth wrapped around her eyes, acting as a blindfold, will be sitting in the middle of the back of the car. A man will be sitting right next to her, where he will be holding a phone up against her ear, so she cannot reach it. There will be a driver, however he will rarely be featured. The lady will appear very calm and relaxed.

Both of these locations, the room and the car, will be cut into one another which will build and create tension. The end of the sequence will see one of the men grab the one, answer the call and see a shocked and worried expression on his face.
