Development of ideas

During the process of our filming, I found that some of our storyboard ideas did not show a clear link betwen shots and made an engaging appeal to the audience. Therefore, instead of having a direct shot from the close-up of the eye to a
mid-shot of the girl. I decided to show photographs of the girl and her friend to illustrate to the audience their significance within the opening sequence. For the flashback to show who was the murderur, I decided that instead of using a flashback of the killing, the girl ripping the photograph would clearly connote to the audience who was involved in the crime and to make it seem more realistic and believable. This also made the flashback flow better with the other shots in our sequence.

As well as this, i decided to use a link between two of the characters in order to make our opening more interesting. Therefore, i used two of the people at the murder scene cleaning blood of their hands.

In addition, i decided to use use more shots of the boy to connote his significance within our opening sequence. This included him crossing a date out on a calendar and going in a lift. This made our thriller more interesting and also to connote to the audience that he was going somewhere mysterious on that particular day. I believed this would make the audience begin to ask questions and be more engaged with our thriller. As well as this, by not showing his face it would create an interest amongst the audience. Along, with Iqra's idea of showing a point of view shot of him pressing the lift button. We as the audience can see from his perspective and would be more involved.
