Our inspiration

This is a trailer for the film one hour photo. It is about an old man who has an obsession with peoples lives. He wants to be a part of them and stalks a local family. This was part of our inspiration for our thriller titles because we thought it was a subtle yet scary topic to cover.
However, we didn't base our whole thriller sequence as we wanted to add our own ideas.

Animatic group feedback

• The class liked how we incorporated the titles and names into the sequence and thought it looked professional.
• They also liked the motion of the animatic and the way the camera zoomed in and panned onto different points of focus in the picture.
  
• The class suggested that we could incorporate different focuses in the clip which would reflect on the actual title of the film.
• The class described how the pictures were detailed and how easy it was to understand what is happening.
  
• Everyone suggested that a sound track is key, for the animatic set the atmosphere.
• Also the theme was represented well by zooming in on the pictures on the wall, this showed the state of the character and gives an insight to his state of mind.
  

Animatic storyboard completed

Our animatic storyboard is now completed however we have run out of time to upload sound to the video. If we had upload sound though it would of been dark tense music which would of had you on the edge of your seat and be wanting to know what was going to happen next. The next time we are making an animatic story board. We now know we need to manage our time better and we will take this into consideration when filming.

Our idea for our thriller title sequence.

We have decided to set our thriller around missing and murdered teenage girls. We will open the sequence with a man in an apartment/photo development room. The audience will then see lots of photos of girls that have gone missing and have been murdered we would like to have a computer with lots of different windows and tabs to social networking sites and messaging sites with the 'villain' talking to teenage girls. The scene will then switch to a police station to show the investigation. You will then see pictures and newspaper articles over the walls of the people that have been murdered.
We want lots of short duration shots to set the mood and build up tension.
The setting also needs to be dark to set a spooky and mysterious atmosphere.
