Opening Scene Idea

-Sherlock Opening Scene, we felt that this would be good inspiration as the sped up scenes of London would show that our film would be fast passed and exiting this mixed with a lone figure standing in the each shot would create enigma code the audience wouldn't know who he was.

-Morecambe and wise, we felt that this famous comedy sketch was good inspiration as then we could add bits of comedy to our breakfast, showing that the protagonist doesn't take himself seriously.

-Dexter Opening, we thought that this would be good inspiration for our film, as it would create a good example of a binary opposite as to have the comedy and then to use a match cut to show that he is a killer will help engage the audience.

Trafalgar Square-
I think that this would be a good choice for the setting of our Thriller Opening, as I really helps to set the scene and it will instantly tells the audience where the film is based. We felt to film this in London due to the fact that it is a recognisable city and has a deep history of  conspiracy and murder.
      

Piccadilly Circus-
I felt that this would be a good way to also show what will happen in our Opening due to the the fact that most thriller films have excitement throughout the film, and Piccadilly Circus is one of the busiest places in the country to the speed of the cars and the manic panic to get to where ever they going.





1)For the opening scene idea takes inspiration from some of these famous opening scenes and sequences. Our idea is to have shots of London that have been sped up apart from one man in the middle dressed in a suit. Then we will reveal the title and then fade into a house where we shoot through a window and see the character while he makes breakfast similar to the breakfast Sketch from Morecambe and wise, during the scene the character is listening to classical music, while he makes breakfast we want to use a match cut to cut to shots of just his hands about to murder people (an example is as he goes to butter he goes to cut some meat we use a match cut from his hand at the highest point coming don of someone but then cut back to the breakfast scene before we see the body)  until the door bell goes and he has to go to the door were he is given the dispatching.

2) Our second idea was once again a psychological thriller, it starts with a number of murders throughout a remote village in rural England during the time of the First World War, the job of investigating these murders is down to a young ex-military policeman. The opening would be a birds Eye view of the present day Somme which would then how some of the major credits, like Actors and Directors, it will then use a Match Cut to what would be 1915 Somme were the trenches are up and the war is in full flow. Then we continue the bird eye shot which continues over the battlefield seeing mass battles in a quick period this will then zoom into the body of one soldier who is dead and will reveal the title.   

This idea wasn't as strong as the first idea and gave the impression of an action maybe even a horror film, in addition to this the opening sequence would too difficult to film due the setting of world war 2 being that we don't have the capability or resources to create this idea. 

3) Our third idea for our opening sequence was a car park chase scene resulting in the death of the false protagonist. Although we could see this idea having a certain element of success however once again it would have been too difficult to film with all members of the group being unable to drive. As well as this the setting of a car park in which we could film in would be too difficult to acquire. As well as this i think the start of this film would give the impression of an action film and may divert potential audience members who would want to see a thriller film.
