Inspiration

Flight 2012

      

I would like to interpret a section of this into my opening, 1:26 - 3:06. I like the slow zoom into the fridge, then the hand opening it. The idea that he tries to use all his will power to leave the alcohol and put it down , but isn't strong enough and grabs it anyway. I like how he manages to walk away, then there is a close up on the bottle, then a sudden shock when his hand comes and takes it. The silence emphasises every sound which I think is a good idea. I would interpret this into my film by rather than using a bottle, I'd use a knife and rather than using a fridge, I'd use a kitchen draw.

Shutter Island

      

Another aspect I would like to interpret into my opening is the close up and focus on the weapon. This insinuates that a murder is going to occur. The fast that he also puts his feet on the gun could be an implication that he don't care. This is the kind of look and feel I want the murderer in my thriller to have.
The only difference I see between this and my film my thriller is that I intend to use a knife rather than a gun. However, both will  have a few seconds focused on the weapon alone, to install some fear into the audience.
