RESEARCH

QUARANTINE click on this title to review the clip

We researched on a few clips and Quarantine had gave us ideas of how to end our opening sequence. The clip revealed the main character screaming and being dragged across the floor, this had caught our attention because it left the ending as a cliffhanger leaving the audience wanting more. This is how we want our audience to react.

Also, the use of night vision we thought created dramatic effect of thriller and relates to the definition of the title 'Envy.' This is because the connotations of the title links to jealousy and the colour green associates with this very well, consequently, night vision would be appropiate for our opening sequence.

FLASHFORWARD click of this title to review the clip
We looked at this clip of Flashforward that helped us to come up with flashbacks in our opening sequence by the title of the programme, for the audience to understand the storyline of our film Envy or make the audience guess what the film could be about.
The flashforwards in this clip creates good effect of creating the shots unclear and the flash lights which creates more focus for the audience in order for them to see and understand what's happening.

The bottom left hand corner also suggested another idea that we could use a mask for the stalker, to add another ingredient of mystery. The identity is hidden therefore this is one of the investigations that could be solved in the film.

Also, the idea of the main character waking up in the first shot of our opening sequence was developed by this clip as it reveals some individuals waking up middle of nowhere. We thought we should imitate this idea to create suspicion and mystery for the audience adding elements and conventions under the genre Thriller. Here are some pictures from the clip to give examples. Although this is a programme, there are codes and conventions that fits under the category of thriller.
