Planning: Final Ideas

 

We as a group decide that would like to have an antagonist that is obsessed with something or someone, but in out thriller we decide it should be a person. Also another thing that we decided that we wanted in our thriller is kidnapping as it can lead to the torture that one of the group members thought of.

Film Influences:

Scream that influences our idea of death

Hawaii Five-O (Halloween Episode) This Gave uses the idea of the party scene where the antagonist is in the corner at the party.

Cruel Intentions gave use the idea of the obsession of the antagonist

Grotesque gave us as a group the idea of the torture scene with all the power tools.

Why is the opening conventional to a thriller?

Our opening is conventional to a thriller because we show the female victim straight away in the storyboard and then you see a silhouette which is shown as the antagonist, this is conventional because the audience will know two characters in the first 30 seconds, the audience will get the idea of who the victim is and the antagonist because the storyboard shows that the antagonist is stalking this victim for a long time.

What themes does our thriller present?

Our thriller presents three themes in the narrative of the story, they are; torture, death, obsession and kidnap. As seen in the narrative of the story, in the beginning of the thriller we show the obsession of the antagonist with the female. Then the torture of the female is shown in the torture seen after he kidnaps her from the park, as he tortures her he becomes unstable and then we show his intention has changed and it has changed to kill her instead.

What response will you get from your audience?

The response that I am aiming to get from the audience is to feel scared so that they have the shocked feeling with the story, also I want the audience to want to know what is going to happen next so they have ore interest in the thriller. Furthermore after they have watched the thriller would like them to feel paranoid because I want the thriller to show some realism so show that this could actually happen in real life. As the paranoia will effect the audience it allows them to talk more about what they have watched to other people.
