Development of ideas for our thriller

In order to develop our ideas for our thriller, we decided to look at the James Bond introduction sequences to give us inspiration of possible creative ideas that we could use and apply to our plotline and genre.

  We have also decided to experiment with the use of vignetting round the edges of the screen as well as smoke, as seen in the Dante inferno game introduction. This is so that a dangerous unsafe atmosphere is created, giving the viewers a glimpse of what is to come in the film.  We will also experiment with the use of negative space for our title sequence, for example in “The thing” the title gradually appears through the use of light .We may try to incorporate this idea, however with the use of smoke making up shapes using the negative space.

As our lead role is of an artist, and his paintings of the girls are of large significance within the film, we are going to try to experiment with the shapes and effects of paint and ink on the page and in water. We will carry this out by dropping ink into a tray of water and filming in slow motion in order to show the shapes and movement of the ink in the water.  For example showing in “Black in and Water” YouTube clip. We will also try applying water on as page in a shape, using petal water brushes which we will buy from amazons. Then we will drop ink on the page which will follow the water and appear in a shape. We will take a close up shot of the ink and slow it down into slow motion to show the movement of the ink, as shown in “Water Ink.”
