Some great examples of good title sequences.

You will need to go out and recce as a group to find suitable possible locations for your thrillers

You need to identify at least 3 locations and post photos on your group blog and reasons why you think they are suitable

You also need to start holding casting sessions for your main characters
You may either film and post auditions or take and post photos

You need to make a decision on your antagonist and protagonist by next Friday

We will peer assess your location and casting choices next lesson

You will also be pitching your treatments at the beginning of Wednesday's lesson, so be prepared to present!
Your pitches need to be ready for Ms Khan's lesson on Tuesday

Thriller Research

Write a short analysis for each on how they create meaning and what is successful about them - can you offer any improvements?

Post 3 font styles you may consider for your own production
Write what each connotes, why you like them and how you think they would help represent your thriller genre

Don't forget all this research needs to be posted on your THRILLER BLOG and will count towards your planning marks
