Our Thriller plan

Our final Thriller idea is going to be idea 2 out of 3 on the PowerPoint that we proposed to our class. For our idea we would like it to have a similar idea to the opening to the Thriller film called "Seven". This is because we have identified the great success that the scene has had because it makes the opening to that Thriller very interesting and dramatic. Seven has a great opening because all the way through the opening you are always interested into what is going on and this is the type of impact we want in our Thriller. Our Thriller will start off with scenes of the killer and the hostage together in a creepy abandoned house for our Thriller location. During the scene between the two people we will use flash backs of the killer tieing up the hostage and digging a grave ready for the hostage to add dramatic tension to the scene. One of the big features of our Thriller will be the gender reversal which will make a big surprise at the end of the Thriller. Flash backs will also include scenes in which you see the hostage meeting up with the killer thinking that the killer is just a normal person. At the end of the Thriller opening we will repeat this scene but there will be a different person as the hostage which will represent that the killer has done this thing to not only one person and that the killer looks to be killing by using the same technique to lure the people. At this point where the second person is being lured to the killer we will then show the killer's face and they will see that the person is a women which will be a good twist instead of the obvious male killer's. By adding Joel's music soundtrack and some very good editing techniques the Thriller will be of a good standard for an interesting view. In our Thriller we are also going to add some interesting mise-en-scene that suits the idea behind the Thriller. For example we are going to pour fake blood onto the victims shirt to suggest that he has been beaten up and injured. This mise-en-scene prop will suit the Thriller genre as it is a typical convention in Thriller's especially in a Psychological Thriller. Another example of the use of mise-en-scene is when we used the gaffer tape for the killer to tape the hostage. This is relevant to the scene when the killer captures the hostage. The aim for the mise-en-scene features is to make them all appropriate to the Thriller genre. This means using features that are used in Thriller's and not in other genre's. We did this correctly as the sound, editing, props and more is appropriate to the Thriller. We also used some good mise-en-scene lighting in our Thriller that suits the genre. This is because we have made some of the scenes in particular very dark and mysterious which you would expect in a Thriller to make the scene interesting and gripping.
