For my film opening, my initial idea was that the genre would be a crime thriller, and it would be inspired by the likes of 'Murder, She Wrote' and 'Agatha Christie's Poirot'. However in today's lesson, as a class we all got the opportunity to share our ideas to each other, and then receive beneficial feedback from one another. During the conversation about my ideas, we soon came to the conclusion that instead of a crime thriller, the genre would be better as a comedy mystery, as I could incorporate much more ideas into this genre. For example, one of the things I could do is create this character of a clumsy/ditzy detective, which helps me keep the comedy aspect as well.
We also said that it would be a great idea if we could somehow play with the audiences minds also. For example, after the crime has been committed and the group are surrounding the body, I could have shots of someone mysteriously putting something into their pockets and another person shifting in a suspicious way. I think this would be effective as it creates and enigma for the audience and makes them ask themselves if it was them.
Due to the fact that I wanted to add more impact and suspense to my opening, I decided to make the unknown killer a serial killer, which brings me to another idea which was contributed during the discussion. After the person has been killed, I think it would be a really good idea if someone could find a note by the crime scene saying 'Who's Next?' (or something along those lines.) It tells the audience that trouble isn't over and that there's more to come, this would be my narrative and the thing that keeps them wanting to watch the rest of the film.
And finally I have decided that the name of my film will be called 'Kreviss.'
