The Villains

We have not really researched/decided what the two villains in our sequence will be like, so I've looked at how male murders of the same sort have been portrayed in these films. We need to decide on dress, make-up, voice, body language and personality.


Male murders in Films


1) Jules and Vincent from Pulp Fiction

Although these hitmen are a pair like in our story, the characters are too cool and too funny - although they are murderers, there is no enigma about their personalities or characters that scares the audience, which is what we want.

Inspiring Movie Opening

Se7en: Opening Credits



We love the montagey, fast-paced, enigma creepiness of Se7en's opening sequence - is it the murderer or a victim or a detective? You see a hint of information, but not enough to make out a clear character. The titles are also brilliant, hand written on black screens as well as over the action. This technique of mixing the two really appeals to me, as opposed to having black screens the whole time for titles (or vice versa). Also the music in this sequence is so suggestive - it sounds like technology breaking down, computers hissing, dripping water, an electro beat, all mixed together to make an eery soundtrack that compliments the on-screen action perfectly. I think the music is very important - not only the type of music but when it comes in, when it's loud or soft, or when the base is clear/in the background. More than anything this clip inspires inspires you to find great music!
