Opening Sequence of a Thriller!

For my main task i have been told to create an opening sequence to a 'thriller', which should have a duration of 100 - 120 seconds. The thriller must also include both titles, and opening shots. Other Students in my AS Media Studies Class are working as a group but i will be working solo due to being put in a pair with another student whos ideas and views are in a different contrast to my ideas and views on a thriller.

PLANNING/BRAINSTORM
To create the opening sequence of my thriller, ment that i had to go through a planning process before i started filming and editing. First i created a brainstorm on the theme 'thrillers' and listed what a thriller contains to then adding ideas to what my thriller could be about. After i annotated the brainstorm, i then chose what ideas of mines that i liked best and what sub-genre my thriller was going to sectioned under. I then brang all my ideas together on a piece of paper to create the Storyboards of my thriller.




STORYBOARDS
My storyboard consists of numerous shots showing images of each shot and including sounds, effects, mis-en-scene and what is happening in each shot. This storyboard will help me within the process of filming the opening sequence to my thriller.



SYNOPSIS
Tyler Coast, aged 17 is sitting at home eating a bowl of cereal while watching the news to see what is happening around the streets of London. As he is watching television, East Londons biggest M.O.B 'Bloodshed Hunters' are learking outside his house plotting the right moment to run into his house leaving him in a mouse trap and either killing him or beating him real nasty, due to him being a former member and messing around with Tony Feccetti, Bloodshed Hunters Don/boss. Tyler hears two workers from the Bloodshed gang and makes a quick escape from the living room to his room rushing to find clothes to put on before making a backroute escape from his house after his front door has been broken down by the gang members. He makes a rapid escape dodging numerous routes blocked by the gangs members and makes a tremendous escape while being chased. He meets up a friend who he calls to meet him with a change off clothing so he can mismatch his dresscode/identity fooling the gang members. He then rips off a poster the gang members have placed around his local area sayin 'wanted, reward given if he is caught!', with his face placed on the poster. A gang member at this point walks past Tyler being absolute fooled by his change of identity/clothing and tyler has a little laugh to himself. The question left is will the Bloodshed Hunters get their hands on their man they've been trying to get for the last year and a half?
