One idea i thought might work well for a thriller would be in a location in a remote area, with nothing significant surrounding it, making the characters in the scene come across as vulnerable to their surroundings (a common feature of a thriller). We could use panning shots to establish the location, also through point of view shots of the characters, helping the audience to feel although they are in the scene.
This idea could also lead to using a non-linear narrative into flash backs of the characters journey before they ended up here, for example a flash back of a chase scene, using close ups of the shoes, i have seen examples of this in other students opening sequences, and i think it works effectively.
A second idea could be having it being set in a normal, everyday location, much like the idea behind the thriller "birds" which strongly suggests butting the extraordinary in the ordinary.
The story line could be made mysterious through the use of close up shots of body features such as eyes (a body part commonly associated with psychological thrillers). Using the idea that the main character has a secret that has a central theme of identity- mistaken identity.
A third idea could be making our thriller into a sub-genre adding for example adventure into our thriller giving it a different aspect and a stronger storyline towards a quest.
Our group have a story line in mind for a final idea
