with a dead body, a knife and blood on his hands.
His brother is a police officer who is after his convicted
brother. However it was actually him that committed the murder crime…
Idea Two:
A man wakes up After Being Knocked out, he has a head injury.
He has a bomb strapped to him with a timer. Abandoned in a warehouse he gets a
phone call from men. He is being told what to do and if he doesn’t there will
be severe consequences…
Idea Three:
A man wakes up and no one knows who he is. Not even his own
mother. A case of proving identity…
We have decided to do ‘Idea Three’.

Mise-en-scene-
Thrillers
are normally located in dark and gloomy places, in big cities or weird
locations. This is to create suspense and tension as the audience don’t
know what could happen. An example of this would be at the start of
Bourne Supremacy, where it shows the woman running down the dark
corridor. This fits in with the atmosphere perfectly because it makes
the audience ask questions, and creates unease. We will be using black
and white imagery in our thriller to get the dark effect.
There
needs to be props in a good thriller, this makes the audience feel a
sense of danger, especially if there is a weapon or gun involved. The
props can play into the scene very well, as they can change the whole
mood and change the story line, depending on what the prop is and how it
plays a role into the film, and an excellent example of this would be
in Halloween II as he picks up various weapons to kill people with. In
our thriller we will be using pills, we hope this will put the audience
in fear as they don't know what the pills are and what danger they can
cause.
The
costumes in a thriller have to be dark, and mysterious. Our main
character is wearing black trousers and a black coat and our villain is
wearing a scientist costume to make it known to the audience he is a
crazy unstable scientist.
Chases
are good for a thriller, as they build up tension and add suspense. A
good example for this would be the car chase in Bourne Supremacy. It
will be made known to the audience that someone is after our main
character and then we will use up beat temp music to recreate a chase.
construction-
There
are a lot of shot types and shot angles used in an average thriller.
The best shot to use is a close up. We will use this as it shows the
characters emotions and what they are feeling, it also catches the
attention of the audience, as it gets them involved within the film.
Over
the shoulder shots are very useful too so we will use these as it can
help the audience to pretty much see from the characters view, so it
feels like they’re in the shoes of the character. It also makes the
audience feel like the character is being followed, and this builds up
suspense and tension as they feel the need for the character to turn
around and it gets them involved, which obviously they don’t and they
keep walking.
The
best shot angle to use for a thriller is handheld. We will use This
angle to make the audience feel like it is them in the film, it also
builds up the suspense and again makes the audience feel like they are
in their shoes.
We
are going to use Dark orchestral sounds as it really gives a sense of
danger, and it makes the audience feel like someone is in trouble. There
needs to be fast cuts in action scenes, an example of this would be in
the film Psycho, when the woman is being stabbed in the shower.
Narrative-
There
can be many characters in the opening of a film, as long as it fits in
with the scene and the background itself. The obvious characters are the
killer and the victim. Our killer is the mad scientist and this
character is obviously is moody, and doesn’t speak a lot and is normally
very mysterious.
Whilst
our victim is normally happy, until he gets chases down by the killer
or gets found out. And our character was happy until he took some pills
and his life changed forever.
