For our thriller opening we decided to have flash backs of a murder, so this is why our shooting script jumps from the detectives finding a body to how the murder took place. We thought this would be an effective way of showing this rather than just the murder being taken place and then the detectives. We decided to have the phone call being placed over a black screen so the audience don't see who/what that character is. We also added a variety of shots including POV shots from two characters which we thought would be quite effective.
