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.

Analasys of Vertigo thriller scene

Vertigo Rooftop Scene



Conventions of Vertigo
an obvious crime has been committed because you can see the potential protagonist chasing the antagonist. Suspense is built in the scene because we do not know what the crime is or whether he will get away. Suspense is built, again, when the protagonist is left hanging on the gutter, on the side, of the building as he slips off of the roof. The policeman comes back to help, the protagonist, and in turn falls to death himself. This tricks the audience and leads them to believing that the protagonist is in an impossible position. Jump shots are used in the scene to create excitement when the protagonist is hanging. The jump shots change with the music from a point of view shot, of the man looking down, to the reaction shot of the policeman.

Prelim Task

We are doing this Preliminary task to prepare ourselves for our main thriller project and to familiarize ourselves, again, with the equipment and skills.




The first few minutes of the clip is an establishing shot of the North Pole, which is recognizable by the white landscape, frozen seas and glaciers. It is effective because it makes the audience ask questions and wonder why they are there.




In this clip, there are plenty examples of close ups and extreme close ups. This is very effective as it shows characters reactions and could make the viewer uncomfortable as it is the only thing they can focus on. It also makes
