I am so excited to start this project. I've already started looking into possible ideas for a story and have begun preliminary research to ensure a quality final product. I'm thinking of filming the opening to a suspenseful crime thriller like the movie Se7en, which has a darker and gritty aesthetic throughout the entire film.
Here are the opening credits for the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEZK7mJoPLY
I really like the font they use in this excerpt, and how it helps establish the really creepy nature of the scene, setting the tone for the rest of the piece. I'm thinking of filming the beginning of a similar film, and thus movies such as this one that show serial killers at work are going to be researched heavily. Something else I've come across in my media consumption is a pattern in the TV show Criminal Minds.
The ABC show opens every episode with a serial crime, typically a death caused the unidentified subject that the team will try to stop throughout the episode. I've watched a good amount of episodes from the show and I really think I'm going to try and emulate the tone setting they do at the beginning of each episode.
As I continue to dive further into crime thrillers and dramas and my research continues to grow, I'll formulate a better idea of how to execute my opening and the specific story I want to tell.
