Opening Idea For Crime Thriller
We will begin with Peter Watt who is the main character walking away from a mysterious dead body. Peter will be in disguise but will have a significant clue on his body which is the tattoo. Peter will then be seen carrying out his everyday life as a detective. We will see the wife, Claire Watt, leaving the house on numerous occasions wearing different outfits. There will be dates in the corner to show each day. Bottles of alcohol and drugs will be shown to give clues that he has an addiction. The amount of drugs and alcohol will increase throughout the opening. A heartbeat sound will be played at different times in the opening which will signify his heart rate. It will increase each time. The husband and wife's relationship will start to become distant.
Synopsis For Crime Thriller
The main character is a rich and wealthy man who is a detective. He is a drug addict and an alcoholic which explains why he murders his wife. Throughout the storyline we see he becomes more and more paranoid because his wife is constantly leaving the house to go out. It begins to bother her husband. We then realise she isn't going anywhere which would effect her husband.
We will begin with a dark figure walking away from a dead body which is his wife. This will connote mystery. A significant sign will be used which is a tattoo to show the murderer who will finally be revealed at the ending.

Our results show that they enjoyed the opening because it was mysterious and it left you wanting to find out more. They wanted to ask questions to show that they were intrigued such as why the woman eyes turned green and why has the man got a scar. The eerie music and lighting made the opening fit well in the genre, however there was no fighting in the beginning unlike other crime thriller genres. The research also shown that it wasn't like other crime thriller genres as it began with a man and women which could come across as a romance.
Audience Research
We used survey monkey to ask a range of people different question about a crime thriller genre. We tried to ask people of different ages to get the best results. Our results show that five out of six people like a hook at the end of an opening therefore we will be sure to put that in our opening. It makes people want to find out what will happen and draws many questions. We asked people what their favourite aspect of a thriller genre was and half of the people said a plot whilst the other half said the characters. In our opening we will make the characters intriguing and the plot mysterious. The movies Se7en and Now You See Me were the most popular crime thriller movies they have watched so for our opening we will use elements from their opening. We wanted to know what makes people watch crime thriller movies and the highest percentage was being introduced to new characters and watching them develop. Therefore when we create our opening we will be sure to use interesting stock characters to keep the audience entertained. Four people said romance isn't suitable in a crime thriller movie so we will keep the main focus on the crime and the investigation. 83.33% of people said they liked mysterious characters and therefore we will make the main character mysterious and suspicious. We will do this by eerie lighting and dark clothing. 100% of people said they want to feel intrigued when watching a crime thriller movie so our opening will be very intriguing and captivating.
