Individual Ideas for title sequence.
Genre: Thriller
Initial plot / storyline ideas:
After researching and looking at thriller films and their title sequences a lot has come to mind when thinking about my own title sequence, as a film student, last year my group and I made a short thriller film of someone that had been kidnapped and having that experience of making a thriller film is very helpful when thinking of ideas for our title sequence. We have a agreed to using a Discrete title sequences which uses both moving images and titles however isn't telling you clearly what the film's plot or storyline is, gives you information to help set the tone and gives you clues on what we could expect to happen.
As of ideas for the plot / storyline I was thinking something along the lines of:
- Torturing someone : Struggling, depression, anxiety, leads to confession
- A missing person : kidnapped, posters, detective
- Psychological thriller : planning a murder, twisted side of beauty, revenge
- Showing the obsessive nature of a character : stalking, certain items / objects / people
From creating a shot by shot re-make of SE7EN I like idea of using close ups and fast cuts of props and objects that could be significant to the character, setting or plot as I want the title sequence to offer vague hints to important plot elements and events that would be in the film.
Key character 'types' :
- Criminals
- Stalkers - One Hour Photo directed by Mark Romanek
- Innocent victims - See No Evil Hear No Evil directed by Arthur Hill
- Someone with a dark past - Silence Of The Lambs directed by Jonathan Demme
- Psychotic individuals - The Shinning directed by Stanley Kubrick
- Obsessive nature - To Kill A Mocking Bird directed by Robert Mulligan
- Police
