I liked the beginning of Inception when the man is lying on a beach and the audience aren't sure quite how he got there. We thought we would use something along these lines because it creates enigma and grips the audience because they want to find out how they got there. Many of the thriller films we researched as a group played with the narrative structure and began with the disruption. We thought this was also a good technique to use and the films thats used this were often the better films. We decided to have the phone already lying in the field when the film begins because we thought that it would grip the viewer and make the want to watch the rest of the film to find out what happened. We also decided to start at this part of the film because we found that films that use restricted narration grip the audiences attention more because they take the same journey as the characters and find out information with them. We decided to uses this technique by starting with the phone in the field because we found that films with Unrestricted narration because irritating and frustrating to watch. The film 21 Grams research by Emma used cuts between different characters which creates confusion because the audience aren't sure what connects them. We decided to use a similar technique because we thought it was really effective because it created enigma and gripped the audience. A lot of thriller films also use a contrast in locations and settings. We thought this worked well because it enhances the suspense of the opening and adds to confusion.
Researching other thriller films really help us as a group and enabled us to gather good techniques for are own opening. It also helps as discover what didn't work well and allowed us to learn from other people mistakes to make are project the best it could be. It also showed us subjects and plots which thriller films cover and enabled us to come us with a different and effective plot ourselves.
