Initial Planning for our Film Opening

Our initial ideas where to be different from the rest of the group. We had been studying film noir style films and analysing them to gain inspiration and ideas for our own film openings.

Most of the class had decided to follow what we had been learning and to base their own film openings on film noir style. However, we decided to be unique from them and go with zombie/horror/thriller.

Some ideas that we had at the beginning were two male survivors left, and they were taking refuge in a house from the zombies. The male characters were significant so that the audience can realise there is no chance of re populating the earth.

Another idea was to start the opening at the end of the film, to build enigma to what has already happened in the story.

We had also considered the lighting for our film opening which typically in a horror/thriller is dark and shadowy.
