AS Coursework - Research Ideas

This film poster inspires us as it symbolises the unknown. We can't see the face of the person, giving it an air of mystery as we want to know who they are.
The words 'fear moves in' could also hint that the character looking into the window will be that fear.

Coursework Ideas

I have already established that I am going to create a film opening for my coursework. I will be working with Luke on this. We haven't been given a specification but we have been thinking about some ideas.

•A Horror Theme - Night time, mysterious characters, dark colours (e.g. red, black, grey).
•A Romantic Theme - Candle lit dinners, Romantic Setting (Countryside), nice and relaxing colours (e.g. pink, cream).
•A Thriller Theme - Cliffhanger, very mysterious, makes the audience jump.
•A Mystery Theme - Nothing to be exposed, scary to some extent.

Exhibition Within Independent & Mainstream Cinema
