There are many different thriller films that have been produced in the film industry, but after coming to a group discussion, about which films relate to our upcoming opening sequence, concluded to a very dense amount of films.
The top five films consisted of:
- Saw
The link shall lead you to the opening sequence of 'Saw'. The idea we got from this, was the use of two characters up in an area, they don't know how they got to. The way we changed it was that the two people in our opening sequence know each other. The main idea from saw was the use of two characters having to make a sacrifice, to be set free.
- Seven
The idea from seven, was mainly the scene from the end of the film. When Morgan Freeman's, character and Brad Pitts character, both have different views on the outcome that will take place within the scene. The only difference is that unlike Morgan Freeman's character in 'Seven' neither characters in our opening sequence know whats actually inside the box.

- The box
Now from the film 'The Box' which focuses mainly on the psychological affects throughout the film. The scene which sprung out to us the most, was when Cameron Diaz's characters along with James Marsdon, as the husband. Are given a choice to complete the offer they have been given, by a mysterious character. Which is to push the button to become millionaires or to ignore the offer. the catch, is that someone in the world shall die. Our groups idea was for the characters to encounter a box and a note giving our characters an offer. Which is that only one can open the box, while the other shall die. We hope to create that same psychological argument between our two characters leading into an unexpected outcome.
- Pulp Fiction
Similarly to 'The Box' the use of the main prop in pulp fiction is a briefcase. That only certain characters know whats inside. The scene that caught our eyes, was the religious scene featuring Samuel L Jackson and John Travolta. John Travolta in the scene is the only one who opens the brief case and knows whats inside. Leaving both the characters within the scene and audience clueless. Now, because our scene has a character opening the box, we hope to bring questions to mind to our audience.
- Inception
With inception the obvious of the dream world had to be used, for our opening sequence. obviously we didn't have such a high budget for our production. Just the idea of our characters unable to escape the place that they are in, seemed interesting to use. Son instead of the characters having to fall to escape the world they are in they 'HAVE' to open the box
The chosen films relate to our upcoming opening sequence for two precise reason. one being the fact that three out of the five of these films, consist of the prop being a box. (Pulp fiction, The Box and Seven). he uses of the box in these films are used differently and seemed pretty useful to use in our opening sequence.
The second reason is that all five of these films consists of characters having to make the right choice and suffer the consequences during the course of the film. In the opening sequence the prop being the box causes psychological problems towards the characters. Which were similar techniques used in the films above.
