Script

Within our opening sequence of ‘Premonition’, as a group we decided not to have any dialogue. We felt that dialogue would distract the audience from watching the opening sequence, and the clever shots that were composed. As a group, we thought that dialogue would also have a poor affect on the surreal, and sinister atmosphere, which we wished to create. In order for the surrealism to be created, we wanted the audience to understand this by actually watching the opening sequence, and allow the shots used to convey this approach to a Thriller genre film, rather than dialogue to ‘tell’ the story. Moreover, our carefully conposed opening sequence, we felt would be ruined with the use of dialogue as Damien would have no one to actually talk to. Also, we felt that it would overtake our very well thought through shots and use of non - digetic sound, such as the keys, the fridge opening, and the toaster popping up the toast.
