Research for our opening sequence:
Looking into other aspects of our thriller there is the scene from The Aviator that includes a hand washing sequence.
Here the director cuts quickly between a close up of Leonardo Di Caprio's hands and then to his face and then back again. This establishes a link between the actions he is doing and how they are making him film. The use of soap here is key and would be a really good idea to use in our thriller. Also the birds eye view shot looking straight down into the sink is effective, and would work well in our thriller.
Another poignant hand washing sequence is in the film version of Macbeth.
Unfortunately, I could not upload the video onto my blog, but in the sequence we see Macbeth wash his hands in a basin. What was effective in this sequence, was that the speed of the hand washing became more intense as Macbeth felt he could not get rid of the blood on his hands. This would work in our thriller well and would help build tension.
