Discarded Ideas

When we first started this project our initial ideas were not completely planned out; we knew that it had to be an opening sequence for a thriller film however we did not know exactly what plot and narrative we were going to follow which would enable our product to fall into this specific genre.


We had various ideas at first about what storyline we were going to follow; one of the ideas we discussed was based around a detective who was investigating a serial killer (similar to the narrative in Se7ev) although we thought this was a effective and interesting narrative we didn't really feel comfortable with this specific storyline as we thought it might be quite hard to give the suggestion of a serial killer and we believed we could adapt more to a storyline easier to portray.


We chose to base our opening sequence on a stalker. We believed the storyline we have chose now fits us perfectly as we could experiment with different camera positions much more effectively and could really adapt with it and develop on the idea of a stalker.

We were inspired by films such as the Stalker, Fatal Attraction and One Hour Photo. We gained ideas from watching these movies, to then develop onto our own, to create our opening sequence 'The Pursuer'.
