Individual Idea and Outline for a Title Sequence
The genre I have chose to create is: Thriller
Initial plot - storyline ideas:
After doing a lot of research into thriller films and title sequences for thriller films we as a group have decided that the initial idea for our title sequence would be quite discrete, somewhat confusing - but as you watch on everything will link together, and definitely not a title sequence that gives the whole plot of the film away. Therefore, we have decided to create a "film before the film" type of title sequence such as Seven. The title sequence of Seven has had a major impact on our decision for the genre and plot of the film opening title sequence because it discretely gives away a bit about a character's personality but does it in a way where nothing else is given away and it is a bit confusing but very enjoyable to watch - as it makes you curious about the film and makes you want to carry on watching.
As for ideas for the plot/storyline I was thinking of:
- Psychological thriller - an inspiration would be The Shining as it plays with your mind as well as frightening you.
- Murder mystery/missing person's mystery - detectives, old missing person posters, kidnapped
- Self torture - anxiety attacks, dealing with depression, hallucinations
- Character motifs - pieces of objects being visible at all times when something is happening to a certain character or they come on screen
Key types of characters:
- Stalkers
- Detectives/Police
- Mentally unstable
- Someone with a dark past
- Innocent victims
