Story Boarding

We have started to draw up our initial story boards for the opening sequence. In these story board we will explaining what type of shot it is, such as a dutch tilt. Also how many seconds it will be so we can make sure that we are not going over the time limit. We shall be updating you throughout the weeks.

Music Inspiration

This bring forward a lot of effects that we might be able to use in our music for the thriller opening sequence.
Reverb and Echo are the most important parts in this song, even though it does not make this particular song eerie it is however used in thrillers or horrors to make it unknowing and distant. It is often used when a scream or strange sound is played in the sequence.








these songs are very interesting, they are both quite beautiful songs but are also quite chilling, is we find music that is similar to these it would help bring forward a tense, interesting and beautiful feel to our movie opening, it will also help draw the audience in as these songs are quite modern which ties in to our movie.

This is the opening to the movie 'Seven'



The idea you get from this is confusion, everything is being thrown at you and if over lapping with disturbing images and edited shots, i think this links well to the image we are trying to make and we will be using 'Seven' for many of our examples.

This Is a Clip From CSI

This episode is one of a continuous mini series about the 'miniature killer'
this is where we have got our main theme from. a killer using art as insperation for the murders.

'Looking From Above'


Treatment, Plot, Characters, Loctations

The story begins with a flashback of the woman’s life which is her witnessing her father murdering her mother in cold blood, straight in front of her. This sudden image immediately flashes right back to the present day, which brings us into her life as an artist, in a small home studio. She is played by a young woman around the age of 27-28 who has very scraggily hair and a long pale face to create that sense of her troubled life.
She wears clothes flicked with red paint and lives in the roughest area in London. Constant abuse threatens her everyday, from the terrors of the east London area. As the story progresses we see her life get better and better as she starts to enjoy killing these people; just an adrenalin junkie loves to take risks. We see small miniature sets of what the scene will look like when the murders take place. Boxes litter her floor until she has no space left. The story ends with her lying down after all of the boxes have landed on her. The police find her three days later. A small box in clenched in her hand, showing the set of her death.
The locations that will be used are the paint shop in a damp dark shed to host all of her miniature models. The abuse will be set in the ally way that is attached to the back of the house/garden, she will be able to see them from the back of the shed, thins is where she begins to plan the murders for the abusive people (Lads).

Dream Sequence From the movie 'Dreambound'

There are a large variety of different techniques used in this to create a abstract set.
We would be looking for ideas that can relate to our piece and incorporate them into our work as we progress throughout the course.
Because we need our thriller to be dreamlike we need a large amount of filtering in the final cut. This is because we want confusion and suspense. In this sequence they use effects (faders) such as doubling over the image to create confusion.

Looking From Above

Hey guys this is our first blog introduction into our As-level Media project.
We will be updating you on all this blog throughout the coming weeks. Updating you with all of the events and all the ideas we have relating to our project.
Regards Benjamin And Cecily.

This is a Basic idea of what we have in mind for our set, we would like it to be a messy art studio, with disturbing things on show eg, knives, images with disturbing content and other things. we have taken part of this idea from the opening of 'Seven'
