Individual ideas for my thriller film.
For my thriller film I am going to use conventions like a female victim, have the killer use a specific weapon and use a tense upbeat soundtrack that fits in with the thriller genre and my specific film. I am going to use these conventions because they are effective at building a tense atmosphere and engaging the audience, which is important in thriller films. The narrative will appeal to the audience as the use of popular thriller conventions will attract audiences that enjoy thriller films, the narrative will also appeal to the audience as the use of a villain that is trying to be a kind of vigilante, which i think will appeal to a large audience.
My idea for a narrative.
In a empty are at night time the long shot shows a group of teenagers that are trying to hurt an old man that's on his own, the camera then shows a close up of the 'villan' in a mask, he is angry at what he is seeing happen to the old man, so as he comes out of the shadows he shouts over to the group of teenagers to stop. The camera shows the reaction of the old man as he is on the floor with tears rolling down his face, the camera then cuts to the leader of the group who is laughing at the 'villan' who is walking slowly towards them. As the man gets to the group there is silence until the 'villan' shouts at the group of teenagers who are standing there surprised at what is happening, the villain then helps the old man stand up, he then tells him to leave, the man is seen to be limping home as he is holding is arm in pain. Some of the teenagers begin to walk away as they are laughing but the leader of the group stays and the masked villain then whispers to him, 'there will be consequenses'. That is all that is said, he looks scared and he turns away and sprints off, the rest of the group follow him shortly after. There is a long shot that focuses on the masked villain standing on his own in the middle of the street in darkness. The next shot is of an abandoned wear house, where the masked villain is sitting alone sharpening his saw, the shot after is of the group of teenagers from the previous night, they are all laid on the floor with their Mouthe's taped shut and their legs and arms tied together, one or two of them are crying. The final shot is of the masked villain slowly walking in their direction, and he whispers in the same teenagers ear, 'what did I tell you'.
Your individual narrative demonstrates a good understanding of what an opening sequence is and what you would like to include within your sequence. You have considered the purpose of some of the conventions, but you also need to explain how your narrative, will appeal to your audience.
