Filming of our Movie Opening.

When beginning to film the opening of "Hotel Road" our opening to our thriller/horror film, we wanted to keep in mind and use typical conventions of a thriller to create a basis and all round dark theme when filming. We based the time of our film around nighttime which can relate to many horror films and the time in which dismal incidents take place by a murderer or unknown suspect. We created unlevel, shaky filming towards the start to make the viewer uneasy and suspensful of what will account next.
The clothing worn by Mark, dark clothes, emphasises the basis of danger and mystery within the thriller which can then add to the effect of our film opening to create a more frightning sense to the film. The non-diegetic sound we used is also very sharp and edgy which can add the uncomfortable surroundings within the film and creates a huge amount of tension to each scene filmed.
As we filmed, we attempted to keep the scenes as dark as possible rather than implying a sense of light or comfortable features so the viewers would experience the most uneasy environment possible. We broke the conventions of a thriller slightly in the use of costume worn by the girls within the film, as these are quite casual and could add to the effect of normality within the household.
