We have finally come to the decision of using the murder in the bath idea, however watching the previous video i posted it still doesn't seem like an opening to a film as too much is happening. Eg- the knocking on the door this happens to sudden and i don't think this much action would usually happen in the opening credits.
Looking at the 'Se7en' opening it gave me inspiration and ideas on how we can change ours to look more professional. In the 'Se7en' opening credits nothing really happens, it is very straight forward and there are only tiny clues of the film could be about, none significant happens as there is no action and kept very simple. I really like the idea of having a girl cleaning a bath full of blood however i think we should take the knocking on the door scene out and just stick to one location- the bathroom. Like the Se7en opening i think it would be effective if we don't show the girls face and this will also add suspense. We plan on filming at night so the lighting wont be bright when filming which will help show what type of genre we have decided to use. Another reason i dislike the previous video i posted was because of the dialogue, they often don't have dialogue in an opening unless its a 'cold opening', this is due to the fact it would be giving too much of the story away in such a short space of time. I like the idea of using backing music throughout, this gives us an excuse not to use dialogue and i believe if we find something well suited to our piece it could make it look better than using dialogue anyway. However, we still want to use a typical convention of thriller, we have decided to film a two shot mirror scene where the girl looks in the mirror and sees a figure of some sort ( the person she killed) Tayler will play this role, i think it will be appropriate to do this as the rest of the film is going to be simple and focused on the amount of blood in the bath.
