Preparation for Thriller opening

Setting/ Location:


We are using two rooms located in different houses, we are using the bedrooms of the two actors appearing in the film, one is very small with limited lighting, and the other is a resonably sized loft conversion with lowered lighting.

Costumes and Props:

The actors are dressed casually in their "home clothes" throughout, apart from "Dan" who appears to change his clothes as he heads to "Tom's" house.
We placed a few bottles of Budweiser on the desk behind to show he is in a relaxed state of mind and shows he is at ease which in turn makes him seem vulnerable.

Editing and Camerawork:

The Eastbalishing shot is a shot of the TV screen where we see a war game being played, we then cut into "Dan" who is speaking over the headset to show he is speaking to a friend online. We then fade into a shot of "Tom" who we see is also playing online, after several cuts to show the conversation, there is a high angle of the chair "Tom" was previously sitting in which is slowly moving, it then cuts into a shot of the door way were we see "Toms" legs being dragged out of his room. It then cuts into opening credits

Story and how the opening sets up:
A Stalker has been tracking 2 friends online who had previously beat him in a game and is seeking to get revenge, with no help from the authorities Tom and Dan have to save themselves from murder.

How characters are introduced

The start is an over the shoulder shot of the 1st character Dan, who we see playing an online game in his room, it is very dasrk and messy.

Special Effects

There will be various fade cuts and a special effect at the end which cuts into a "se7en"
