Thriller Idea

Crime/psychological Thriller-

Crime is taking place and someone is being pushed, mentally, to the limit.

Locations:

School (classroom), Shed/Warehouse/Dark chilling room. The reasons why we need a normal setting for the flashback in a conventional house. For the torture scene we need a dull "creepy" setting.

We have a twisted scene with entwining stories, the main character (the torturer) is repaying his fathers death that becomes apparent during the clip.

Actors/Characters:

Saul - The Tortured,
Hakan - Brother of torturer
Will - Torturer (looking for revenge)

Director:

Jack

Related film/s: Reservoir Dogs.



Title:

Our credits will appear each time a character is introduced, naming them. The font will be quite jagged to suit the 'eeriness' of the film. They will be placed in the corners of the frame so they do not take the audiences attention away from the action.

Music:

We will have some contrasting music to create a freaky scene. We will use upbeat and happy music to add to this. It will make it look like the torturer is enjoying it.

Shots:

There will be a flashback that will be in black and white. The shots used in this will be jump shots and a close up of wills face to show his reaction to whats happened. The torture scene will also include jump shots and close ups to maximize excitement and emotion.

Certificate:

The certificate will be at least a 15 because of the level of violence and blood, however it is still TBC.

Analysis of a production Ident,

LIONSGATE Ident:-


'Lionsgate' uses an interesting Ident that attracts the viewer by using animation, which effectively keeps the viewer interested enough to keep the production companies name in there head. The writing is very square and bold and covers the majority of the screen which draws the attention of the viewer to it. The background is dim and plain to avoid eyes wandering off the production name.

Mise-en-scene:-
The mise-en-scene is key to setting the mood in this opening and for the rest of the film. All places on camera are either dark or uncomfortable in some way this sets a scary and uncomfortable mood which lets the audience know its going to be a thriler. The only place which makes the character feel comfortable is M.F's apartment which is seen as a, sort of, safe house. It looks warm and bright and is focused around the bed which makes it feel cosy and comfortable and allows teh audience to relax as they know he is safe. Everything else like the rough streets in the rain and the house with the dead body in are made to feel very uncomfortable for the audience. The character of MF is shown when his 4 important items he takes woith him to work is his pen his glasses a wallet and his knife are all neatly lined up on the desk near his door.
