I think hat this is a good image because the fire looks very menacing and ominous, also you can not see what is being burnt. I think this would be a good shot in a thriller as it is a well composed shot and it is very mysterious which is good for the opening of a thriller when you are trying to create suspense.

I feel that this is a good shot as it follows the rule of thirds and it looks as though the trees/bushes on either side of the path are trying to cover the path. The shot is also good for the opening of a thriller because it is hard to tell what is at the end of the path and also, i feel that a thriller film is journey just like walking down this path.

I feel that this is a good shot because in the foreground you can see trees which makes it feel as though the camera is 'snooping' around just like in the opening to the sixth sense. In the background you can also see a building which raises questions such as 'What is in the building?' and 'Why is it hidden in the woods?'. This is a good thing because a thriller opening often leaves the audience asking questions which get answered later on in the film.

This shot also shows the rule of thirds with the trees on either side of the building and again rises questions to the audience. I think this is a good shot as it shows the building has been vandalised and in a slow opening to a thriller this shot would be used to set the scene to the audience.

I feel that this shot would be good for a thriller as the foreground is blurred which suggests movement to the prospective audience whilst the twigs and branches of the tree appear to be 'hiding' something which would raise questions to the audience engaging them deeper into the film.
These images are OK Tom - however many look the same. Good to see you completed this HW task - but now that you have been working in your group on the actual task, and you have come up with an idea for filming - you need to take actual shots of the locations you genuinely intend on using in your opening sequence. If you leave these posts as they are - they have no relevance to your finished project... and that defeats the point of your coursework blog.
