Our group have agreed on the following aspects of our thriller opening:

Location: The woodland area of Grovelands Park, Southgate.

Shooting Schedules: To shoot early morning till midday (roughly). The group are to get there 10minutes before the actor/actress to get set up and organised. Arrival= roughly 8 (to be arranged nearer the time), Departure= roughly 1.30

Thriller opening Synopsis: A chase scene between a young innocent (stereotypically blonde) female and a menacing male serial killer. He has previously drugged her with chloroform and lets her escape. He then enjoys the chasing of her until he finally re-drugs her to take her back to his hideaway where he kills and possibly rapes his victim. We are then introduced to his next potential victim.

Sub Genre:
Due to the film being about the villain specifically, with regards to his behaiour and reasons for it, the actual methods of his activities etc. we believe our thriller is categorised as a psychological thriller and maybe even a crime thriller, due to the capturing of the villain. Therefore we have to be careful with the chase sequence at the start as we don't want to provide concreted connotations of an action thriller.

Mise-en-scene: Pure white for the female victim to connote innocence, purity etc. The male serial killer is going to wear a Black coat and boots to signify his hidden agenda, masked identity, villainous character etc. (Produces binary opposite of light and dark) The use of chloroform on a cloth shows he appears to be a suble and articulate killer.

Concerns:
Uneven outside ground will mean smooth camerawork is extremely hard and so to get a good shot this may mean takes will come in the plenty!

Weather,-it is December and so we are all predicting freezing temperatures. This will slow our shooting and we will need to be sure that the actress/actor is allowed to warm up during takes. ESPECIALLY AS THE ACTRESS IS WEARING ONLY A SMALL SILK NIGHTY with underwear...oh and possibly some white plimsolls.

An outside location in December is likely to put off actors/actresses. Lots of bribing is going to take place over the next few days!

The weather may also change from weekend to weekend which is likely to affect the continuity of our opening. Although we will try to limt this factor at the end of the day if we do not have time to wait for the weather to turn favourably we will have to shoot and hope for the best during editing.
