After alot of research into different areas of the genre 'thriller' we thought about what we thought was most effective and what worked better, what the good things about our favourite introductions were and also what not to do. From there we started brain storming loads of different ideas, we thought of what the whole movie would be about first of all and worked backwards from there. When we were thinking about what the whole movie would be about we thought of the themes from 'Taken' we wanted to covey the idea of a girl being missused and abused, the idea of the 'high life' but the bad point of it, with key aspects such drug abuse, gangs and prostitism. After this with came up with this story:
The introduction starts off with a shot of a girl walking down the street from the behind, she will be dressed in fishnets tights, a fur jacket, hot pants, a white top and black heels. We wanted her to look trashy and cheap to give the idea of prositism. We want her to give the idea that she is under the influance of drugs or alcohol.
From that there is a series of very short cuts showing clips such as a lighter, cards, poker chips, white powder (to create this we will use fake snow), hand cuffs, and speakers. This is just to give a hint to the audience of what will themes they will be seeing in the movie without saying to much. The fast clips are also suposed to portray what the girl is remember from her night out and what has happened in her night.
After the fast clips there is a black out and the first title shows. Following this title it goes back to the girl walking down the street again from where she left off still acting the same, there is then a close up of her face with the wind blowing her hair across her face. Her make up is smudged and ruined to look as if she has been crying. This is done to put ideas and questions into the views heads such as, why was she crying? was she abused? what had happened?
After the cose up there are more of the fast paced cuts of clips, these clips show things such as guns, alcohol being poored, ciggarette smoke, car headlights and an eye.
After this there is a cut showing the title 'EXPOSED' in the centre of a black screen. From here there is a cut to show the girl sitting in the bath, make up smudged down her face still with wet hair, cleaning her self, as if she is trying to get the psychological dirt off her by trying to wash it off. It has been found that behaviour such as this is found in people who have seen somthing they didnt want to see or have commited a murder. They try to hide what they have done or seen by washing themseleves because they think it will almost clean their soul or memory.
There is a title on the screen at this point.
There is then a cut to the bath tap dripping with another title across the screen. It then cuts back to show the girl in the bath putting her head under water, we thought this was very effective because it gives the idea of intoxication and like you are trapped into something. When you are underwater you cant breathe and you are almost helpless, this is to relate to how the girl is mentally feeling.
There is then another cut to the girl getting out of the bath. She then begins to get ready to go back out and do it all over again.
There are cuts back and forward showing the girl in the street, this is showing her waiting to be picked up by someone after a night out.
