The Bridge - Opening Scene Ideas
The sign of the 'cyclists dimount' indicates that a bike must not be rode across the bridge. In our first scene, our agreed to have a boy wearing a hoodie, riding a bike across the bridge to imply that he is a 'bad ass' and a rule breaker
Wet and gloomy surfaces is another thriller convention and, as it's winter, it is bound to be wet during the time that our group films the opening.
A view looking down from he high bridge creates fear and signifies power over everyone passing under, making them and the cars look vulnerable.
The graffiti is a great generic convention of a thriller as i suddenly creates a rundown area which immediatley looks crime invested.
During our filming, we want to film around late afternoon so that it's not too dark but is clear enough to see the action and the church in the back which lights up as it starts to get dim/dark outside.
The car lights will be bright and, as a team, we decided that it would look good if we speeded up the cars so it looked like time was passing by very quickly.
Well done Anna for taking these photographs of possible locations.
ReplyDeleteYou need to add captions explaining how they reflect conventions of the thriller genre, you could also reference case studies/film which have influenced your ideas.
