It is proposed that the film will be of 0 to 2 Minutes duration, and that it will be filmed at the following locations:

This film will include the following conventions of thriller films, Low key lighting is a convention we will use when we film, because this can be used to show mystery, yet it also is used for foreshadowing bad events. Suspense can be created through the sounds that we use, deep dark music can represent bad events. We will also be including shots of overcast weather, used for foreshadowing purposes, weather such as overcast dark and grey lighting, which will give the film an aesthetically interesting angle. In which can create a suspenseful yet meaningful opening sequence for the audience.

Here are some locations (with pictures) that we have chosen to film at:

Shack,

Auckland Viaduct,

Bali,

After watching Shutter Island and The Dark Knight Rises thriller films/thriller openings I have been influenced by strong symbolism and foreshadowing that create a strong grounding in which the audience will be hooked by. After seeing the Shutter Island opening with an opening sequence not containing much color, but only grey skies and dark rooms. This sets the scene as a more serious and intense movie. The isolation factor of both The Dark Knight Rises and Shutter Island is very effective because it tells the audience that the characters are away from society, away from any help.

Problems encountered: The limitations of our thriller film is that we only have certain areas In Auckland where we have found where we can shoot, and one of our main sequence characters will be away for half of the time we have for filming. However we have attempted to fix our disadvantage, because our team member is going on a trip to Bali where he will be able to capture some mesmerizing shots for our film, such as the one above.
