Script for dialogue

Currently the opening will include an extract of a wedding pledge:

"Jennifer, is it your will to have this man to be your husband, to live together in the covenant of marriage? Is it your will to love him, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others to be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?"

The use of the opening dialogue creates an idea of the themes involved in the film. In this case a theme of relationships is involved. The scenes that appear after the first dialogue contrast against eachother giving a sence of enigma and mystery to as what has gone wrong.

Unlike thriller films 'Layer Cake' and 'The Sixth Sence' currently we have planned so that the dialogue will not tell the narrative; instead it will add to the visual action as an anchor. This will be done partly because we have a concern that the sound quaility available will bring down the potential of the opening scene and the belief that the less we hear from the characters, the more the audience will ingage in on the settings and the characters features.

On review of other A level students media thriller opening, we have noticed that the use of little to no dialogue helps draw in attention and therefore bring in the target audience. This is done as a sence of mystery and enigma is raised as the voyer is un aware of the full situation. To fulfill this convention of the thriller genre, we have decided to reduce the amount of dialogue in the thriller opening to a minimum.
