The main task is a 2 minute opening sequence to a thriller, it is important to think about past thrillers, by researching them and also thinking about the whole idea/plot of the film to get an idea of what to show from the opening.
I will be looking at 3 main thrillers showing, how a thriller opening is produced adding tension but also showing the important information, as in the main cast, directors and distributors.
