These were the first ideas I had for my Thriller Opening. The victim was going to be a teenage girl, while the villain was going to be an elderly man who had previously lost his wife and wished to replace her with the young girl. However, after further consideration I decided to change the plot as it seemed too predictable. Therefore I moved on to the idea of the victim and villain being friends, making it more psychological as you would not expect it to be someone so close to you. To help I will be sticking to the phrase "keep your friends close but your enemies closer".
The first mood board I created was based around my second idea about the friends being the victim and villain, combined with some ideas from the previous idea.

After completing my questionnaire I decided to change a few of my ideas. For instance, I was going to have middle and long shots of the characters in the opening sequence to introduce them all. However after further reflection, I have come to the conclusion that it would be more effective to have over the shoulder shots of the characters as well as close ups on significant items, to create a snare and enigmas for the viewers to resolve throughout the film.
Also, I took away any obvious religious signs as the villain is not influenced by a God or Devil, what makes the friend do these actions is just an obsession that has gotten out of hand. Instead, more props were added, such as the red make-up and the props with the main characters hair or lipstick marks to emphasis how far this obsession has gone.
