Asset List - Characters





Conclusion
The characters are important as they make the 'Enigma Code' work. Even playing dead they build the question of why was Matt there? why are there dead people around? what is happing with the flashes that have fighting in it? ect. They also reinforce stereotypes of thrillers, protagonist, antagonist ect which is what we want in order to not reveal the antagonist.

Costume Design




Conclusion
The costumes are important for our Thriller Opening Sequence as they will make sure that the actors/actress looks more realistic and that they are relatable outfits to the audience watching and what they would expect from the stereotypical hero, heroine and villians.

Test Footage



Conclusion
This test footage has allowed us to realise that our original plan needs more to the story- his journey to the warehouse as well as the fighting scenes he remembers as due to class feedback there is not enough to set the main scene. In our real title sequence we are going to have the MI6 double agent following his female colleague to the warehouse with the drug dealers finding out he is a double agent so that it makes more obvious sense to the audience. the lighting will be made dimmer with a grey blue tinge to the shot to make it seem more like a thriller and a decipher between the real world and his flashbacks.

Thriller Target Audience Research


Conclusion
When research Thriller Target Audiences we found that they are mostly made for Men aged 18 - 29 but can sometimes be made to Women aged 18 - 29.
From this we decided to interview three from each group.
We found that even though made for men, women have a greater understanding of Thrillers and for most it is there favourite type of genre.
This is important as when we make our Thriller Opening Sequence we must consider that although there will be a female audience watching. So when making it we can remember to include aspects that will appeal to both audiences.

Final Time Line for Opening Sequence


Conclusion
This is our final draft idea for how we think the Opening Sequence should go. 
But looking over it we do think that some modifications need to be made.
Also we think there need to be more memory flashes init in order to build the plot and enigma code more to get the right amount of suspense that we want and to hold throughout the sequence.
