Filming Our Thriller- Mise en Scene

There were only two characters within our opening titles of our Thriller. This was an ordinary man (in the morning) and a villain. To exaggerate the fact that the villain was infact the villain, we dressed him in a mask (colouring in the gaps for the eyes for an extra creepy effect. The character of the ordinary man was then dressed in pajama bottoms and with no top to make it seem as if he has only just gotten out of bed. The whole opening (filmed just as the ordinary man has awake) was therefore filmed in daylight to support the fact that it was set in the morning. The house itself was made to look as if the man lives by himself (so no one bumps into the villain and the ordinary man can't be saved). This was done by making sure only one toothbrush was in the toothbrush holder, breakfast was only being made for one, the man spent most of the time alone etc.
