An idea we had for our thriller movie opening was to head to a busy shopping centre and film people going about their daily routuine for roughly 10 minutes or so. We thought this might work until we realised that it might not be allowed by the shopping centre. We were going to interpret this into our thriller by using this to show a sense of non linear and time travel (not like back to the future). The music would need to be fitting to the pace and serenity of the scene, so we want it slow paced and very minor sounding. As I said, the problem with doing this pitch idea is it might get really busy around our location and also security reasons.
Pitch Idea 2
Our second pitch idea was probably our strongest and most convincing one, and the one we are most likely going to use. For this idea, we thought we'd take the cliche' of having a man as the killer and woman as the victim, and reverse it so we have a woman killer and a male victim. This would work very effectivly in the way that it would fool the audience and make our thriller unique. The music that we could use could also be non-digeting wind and just creepy/eerie music in general. The location we decided for this would be like an old abandoned barn or warehouse. This would add a key thriller aspect into it and make it even creepier. The mise-en-scene, again, would include bloody/ripped shirts, knifes, rope for hanging, broken glass etc.

Pitch Idea 3
Our final pitch idea was a rather cliche' one at that. It was to be filmed in a woody area like in a wood and we were going to do a chase scene. We had a lot of shot ideas for this which was very good, although as stated earlier it is quite a cliche' plot so wouldn't be as effective. The music would want to be fast paced during the chase, maybe with heavy drums, and non digetic sounds of maybe wolve howls and wind. We were also thinking about filming most of it from the killers perspective to make the audience feel more involved, although this could lessen the quality and standard of it. The mise-en-scene would typically include props such as knifes, torn shirts, fake blood etc.

This is a presentation we showed the rest of our media class. We recieved an amount of constructive critism about our ideas and how we can improve them. We certainly took these into acount. Also, we did this presentation after an advancment in planning with pitch idea number 2, which is the one we are definitly going to persue.
