Influences

The film that inspired us the most to choose a psycho thriller genre is the David Fincher film, Seven. The opening sequence of the film is dark and disturbing, much like we wish ours to be. The idea of a serial killer using the seven deadly sins as his modus operandi inspired us when planning out the plot of our story. With this, we decided to base our film on a recently escaped psychiatric patient who believes he is the next prophet, sending messages from God by killing 10 people who do not obey the 10 commandments.

The opening sequence of Seven involves the killer carefully planning each of the murders. We planned to use a similar approach in our sequence consisting of a number of shots, possibly a long shot, of a wall in our killer's room containing similar plans for the 10 murders.  

The credits themselves are interesting in terms of the type of font which was used, contrasting with the background. This may also be used in our opening sequence although we haven't looked for any specific fonts yet.
