Genre

    The thriller/suspense genre is meant to create a fear and uncomfortableness. It has many unexpected twists and tension and it can be a bit hard to make a professional well done thriller film opening. I want to create a more original thriller film opening where it is not predictable. Many suspenseful films begin with a shock factor where the audience knows what's to come. It is like a mystery just with more fast paced moments and much anxiety. I want to make it a more psychological thriller because of my main characters experience with this man who has obvious issues. 

   I want to use references from kidnapping movies like "Amber Alert", even though my film would be completely different, it would have the same anxiety feeling the audience gets while watching this girl n.a bike being watched and kidnapped by a man in a car. I think in an angle where you see the man in my film sort of standing alone staring from afar and a close up of this girls face looking behind her to notice can produce some sort of chills especially adding one of the most important parts of the genre; sound. The eerie and uncomfortable noises and jumps of sound will make the scenes way more intense then they are. Since most thriller have some thin high pitched noises as their shock factor sounds, I can create some with any instrument and find a way to make it originally creepy.

     On Celadonbooks.com, they mention that, "Psychological thrillers are terrifying because they shine a light on the dark side of the human mind. " I want to make it clear on the opening the malicious thoughts this man is thinking just by portraying his face with no dialogue just expression. Obviously, the whole plot of the movie is pretty dark and surrounds a negative topic. This thriller will have fictitious aspects and I'm not sure where I want to add some supernatural effect, but it will come to me as I keep planning my film opening.
