Initial ideas Storyboard for my thriller opening....
From the first square you can see a girl , and the moon and stars are there to emphasise that it is night time which is very typical for the thriller genre. However i have chosen to go against one of the main most of the main character's and first person you see in the opening of a thriller is a man, whereas i am using a girl. This may not sound appealing or successful to many people as girls are stereotyped as weak and helpless and dramatic but all these things are going to help emphasise that my genre is thriller!
In my second box i have used the girl listening to music, i might still use this but it might ruin the flow of the sketch and would have to be careful when running with it that it doesn't fall out or ruin the scene.
In the next four boxes i have a male character creeping up and scaring the girl but it just turns out to be her boyfriend. After lots of consideration i have decided that i want to keep dialogue as little as possible and so i may leave this character out or have a shadowy figure follow the girl instead. However i feel like a small cameo would be better than leaving him out completely as it invites new characters into the storyline and a potential hero that reinforces Propps theory.
The last sketch on my storyboard is when the girl eventually slows down from running or her boyfriend leaves, she turn around starts to walk and then an arm grabs her from a bush and as she screams its a muffled sound as she drops to the floor. The scene cuts and the opening ends with you not knowing what has happened to her. This is conventional of a thriller because it sets up a plot scenario for the rest of the mo=vie and many thrillers always link back to the opening sequence because people make there mind up about the movie in the first few minutes.
p.s. my image takes a while to load.
