MEETING NOTES
Meeting 1
We all agreed on using one of the following genres; action, thriller, horror and each came up with a different storyline for our opening sequence for the different genres.

Action- focuses on the contrasting life of a man being a bounty killer, where we see a male figure in danger and having a fight and his real life, which would be presented by dancers to evoke a softer side of his life. We would use harsh edits of him fighting and a split screen effect to show the dancers and the music would just be a beat which is quite soft but the beat drops to be a bit aggressive.

Thriller – Highlighting the man in a couple to being a serial killer of his ex partners as his obsession towards them grows in a twisted psychotic way. This couple have been together for a long period and he wants to get married but she doesn’t so as his obsession is developing, we have flashbacks of his history of murder. We will then relate the flashbacks to his present by using camera edits and special effects. The soundtrack for this would have to be composed yet strong to illustrate the sinister mood.

Horror – based on a stalker who has a history of attacking young, vulnerable girls. In the opening sequence he is presented only by extra close-ups so his identity is hidden to add mystery. His target is a young girl coming back tipsy from a party, as she waits at the bus stop he takes continuous pictures of her but she is clueless. Then we see his silhouette jump on her to assault her and a flash closes the opening scene and the title appears. Music would be high pitched but also composed to add a suspicious atmosphere.
