Location Research
The ideal location for our opening shoot is during a busy day in town overlooking from a high vantage point making the people flow into one showing there insignificance. Whilst one character, faceless, is standing overlooking the scene as if observing the mundanity of life. The opening ends with the character turning around but not seeing his face. This gives a sense of mystery and wondering what this character is to do with the film.
These locations will be ideal when busy as there is a lot to look at and there are easily accessible vantage points.

Initial ideas for names of thriller film:
Blogger - thriller about an invented family that lure two guys into a psychological trap via blogs, facebook and iphone. The family turns out to be one twisted woman who leads them on a trail that turns into a nightmare. The two guys struggle with the belief of wether the family is real or not until they fall out and carry off on different path further into the traps with the odd woman predicting every move.
EDIT - A high tension thriller where a man works out how to edit memories and convince people into working together to overthrow the world leaders, yet one girl stumbles upon his secret lab and has very little time to re edit the memories. This leads up to a very tense lead up and an explosive finale. The girl starts to get lost in the memories however and starts to like the power she has just found and starts to get addicted.
Entendre Conjugation - The film starts with a murder with two obvious suspects both looking like they made the kill, the story backtracks through the story with both characters trying to prove there innocence, however neither can remember being at the crime scene. Both characters are trying to prove the others innocence. Leading up to a massive reveal with a huge twist.

The two characters are contacting each other via mobile as soon as they get off the phone to each other they both make phone calls to a phone that is connected to the power to the lights. All electricity is cut much pandemonium ensues when the power is reconnected both teams have vanished without a trace, story carries on explaining how and why.

Ident
This is a mock up of a possible design for the ident, we are using aftereffectsCS3 and using a similar green background. This design was made in photoshop and will be animated in the final, it will also be less pix elated and more complex.
classification 18
-Only suitable for adults.
-Only those 18 or over can view the film in the cinema or buy/rent it.
Despite this there are exceptions such as:
• where the material is in breach of the criminal law,
or has been created through the commission of a
criminal offense.
• where material or treatment appears to the BBFC to
risk harm to individuals or, through their behavior,
to society – for example, any detailed portrayal of
violent or dangerous acts, or of illegal drug use,
which may cause harm to public health or morals.
This may include portrayals of sexual or sexualised
violence which might, for example, eroticise or
endorse sexual assault.
• where there are more explicit images of sexual
activity which cannot be justified by context. Such
images may be appropriate in ‘R18’ works, and in
‘sex works’ would normally be confined
to that category.
We are going to use this classification for our film as we then have less limitations and we can target our audience to adults. This way we can explore more themes and keep the thriller more serious and confusing.
