My Idea For Thriller Opening
Characters:
2 Teens
One Man Holding A Knife
Plot
The opening will start with a teen sleeping alone in his bedroom. (He lives in the same house as his mate who is in another room)
It is in the middle of the night and the house is completely silent.
He then hears a glass smash downstairs and wakes up suddenly. He thinks that he is just imagining it so goes back to sleep thinking nothing of it. Shortly later he hears the same sound and wakes up again.
He then shouts "Jack!" (his mate to see if he has heard the same sound) but there is no response.
He grabs a knife and torch from inside the drawer in his room.
He decides to go and have a look to see where it is coming from.
As he opens the door in his bedroom the creaking noise from the door will be exageratted so it builds up the suspense.
He tries to walk down the stairs as slowly as he can to reduce the sound of the creaking from the stairs but each time he steps on a stair there is a load squeaky sound.
Eventually he reaches downstairs and walks slowly and quietly to the front room. Just before he opens the door there will be a close up shot on the teens facial expressions because he will be looking very nervous he slowly opens the door but it makes a load noise.
He walks in nervously into the room and looks around but there is nothing/no one there. So decides to look in the kitchen. The kitchen door is open, but as he walks closer the door slams shut. He then stands back and calms himself down.
He then walks into the kitchen and there is Jack getting a drink but he had smashed a glass on the floor by accident, but outside the window just behind him is a man with long hair standing there holding a knife.
As soon as we see the man the screen turns black and dramatic music begins.

Thriller Film Survey (Zak Green)
https://www.surveymonkey.com/analyze/vAN6g_2B9mdaqbWDfPMh_2BXQTObX2bzLvd2DmOJNUkJwx8_3D
Looking at the results of the survey that i recently completed we can see that the majority of the people that completed the survey were between the ages 10-20 (With the majority of them being around 16 years old). I decided to give the survey to people aged around 16 years old because we are aiming to produce a thriller opening which is 15 years rated and we could see what they liked about thriller films and then include it in ours. Looking at the results we can see that everyone that completed the survey liked thriller films and most of the people liked the suspense build up of a thriller so this is something that we should really include in our thriller opening. Also we can see that only a little bit of the plot should be shown in our thriller opening so that is something we need to take a note of. Another thing i found out is that the people who took this survey thought that make up and props are important in a thriller film so we need to make sure that we include props in our opening. We also need to make sure that the plot is good because the people surveyed thought that was a very important factor of a thriller film. Finally we need to include music in our thriller because apparently that helps with the build up of suspense and we want to build up as much suspense as possible to make it enjoyable for the viewers.
