Plans for initial ideas

The fierst thing to do is to short out which clips we are going to use of our opening sequence. Then we will drag the correct clips on to the timeline so that we can edit them. The second is to put our thriller theme tune on to the timeline and to work out where the sound track should be playing in the background and where  the sound track be not be played ie when there is speech. Then we need to put all the titles and credits then and make sure that everything is complete. 

Plans for Initial Editing

The first thing to do is to watch all our clips we recorded from our filming day to see which will be the best clip to use. We will then select the best ones to put in the timeline, We will now add in the theme tune to help us decide how long it should go on for and when to fade it in and out. The final phase will be to make the moving from to scene to scene succint and run smoothly so it keeps the fluency and doesn't become confusing,

Old Boy 2003 (Korea)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNeFVV-QlfU

Old Boy is a Korean film and was directed by Chan-Wook Park. The film centres around a man called Oh Dae Su played by actor Choi Min-Sik. He plays a korean business man who is bailed out by a close friend Joo Hwan on a drunken night out on the day of his daughter's birthday. However, he goes missing as he has been captured and confined to a cell for 15 years. He then embarks on an emotional and thrilling journey to find his captor. The opening sequence is in keeping with the thriller conventions as it is very ambiguous and leaves many unanswered questions for the audience. Such as why was he kidnapped in the first place. It leaves the audience feeling the urge to watch on as it poses more questions that answers in the opening. it is quite confusing as it quite difficult to understand. However, its got a good ability of engaging the audience and making them watch on.

From looking at our thriller opening sequence, the audience would be expecting to see a gripping storyline coming through which makes them want to watch more of the film. Also, they would want to see plenty of action in the opening sequence in order to help with the aspect of making it more appealing to the audience. Specifically our film will be classified as a 12 as there is moderate amount of violence and there is no physical violence involved and no prolonged psychological approach or intentions that could disturb young people.
