Groups ideas for Tittle Sequence

We were asked to think of four different ideas. This was to decide from the four what would be the best opening sequence. I like all four of my groups ideas but I think the 'Running Girl' one is best. It would be most suitable to film. It is  also slightly different. Even though it is running like a lot of thrillers are, it's different to the other ones because of what happens. From an audiences point of view I think that it would be understandable to see what was going to happen later on in the film.

                                
                                     Running Girl

I like the idea of a girl running through the woods, possibly Hurtwood woods. You can use the effect of a person running behind her, by using an over the shoulder shot so it looks like its her view and a few wide shots. There is a camp in Peaslake which would be perfect. We can use the camp to have a perverted man that takes pictures of this girl as she runs and then he puts them up in this camp. We could get camera shots of him taking the pictures and of the pictures that are being taken. We could end with her coming in and finding the pictures and being very creeped out. This is how it makes it different from other films as she finds out in the tittle sequence.

Racing Track

We could only do this if we can get hold of a motor track or go-karts. Someone can be getting into the go-kart but without the driver knowing someone has fiddled with the engine. We would make sure that the audience knew something suspicious was going to happen and then the go-kart or car would drive of perfectly at first and then the driver would loose control and crash. Then zoom back to the person that had fiddled with the car to see their reaction. You could do shots from inside the car like they do on actual formula 1.

Abduction

Another idea is having a happy family with three young children on a family day out, including a mum and dad. The eldest one wants to go on a ride at this park but the parents are looking after the other two and say no. In the end the parents carry on walking and stop to go to a public loo and take the two youngest ones in but say to eldest to wait outside and an elderly man comes and says he will take her (the eldest one) on the ride and they walk off and it ends like that. We could have wide shots at the beginning showing the whole family. You could have close ups of the little girl being grumpy when her parents saying no to her.

                                                                                    Home Alone

There is a young girl, about 14, who is babysitting for a 3 year old and it is her first time. She is being explained all the rules of the house. The house is fairly old and people have died there before but she in unaware of this. She puts the baby to sleep and goes down to watch tv and ends up falling asleep on the sofa. She then wakes up to something shaking her but there’s nothing there. Then she hears lots of banging and picks up the phone to call 999 but the phone line has been cut dead and then it would end there. We could do wide shots of her lying on the sofa, close up on the phone. There is a variety of shots which you could do for this.
