Q5
Our film is created as a psychological thriller
because our story is about a girl that has a nightmare and gets flashbacks of
the dream, which slowly becomes reality throughout her day .Our film also
includes aspects of an action thriller as it gradually shows a guy following
the victims every move, which he will eventually ends up kidnapping the girl.
We are going to use important aspects that have been picked out from other related
film, such as the way our kidnapping scene should be portrayed, also how the
atmosphere of the film should be to set to get that feeling of tension and
suspense. The main themes in our sequence will be mostly based around
kidnapping, which will be slowly developed throughout the sequence. As there
will be range of clues/traces that will all be make sense and fit together to
help the audience to know what the storyline is really portraying. The camera
angles that would we used will also be used to explain and show what sort of
characters our actors are portraying, such as tilted angles which helps build
up some form of a story to the character, e.g. when the girl is running out of
the house in fear of the kidnapper the angle of the shot is low angled and
tilted upwards to show she has little power. The tilted angle shots to build
suspense and tension, which will get the audience more involved. Long distance
shots are also a very significant camera angle for a thrillers because it gives
us and idea of how the characters feels due to the body language, it also gives
the audience a great idea of the ambient the opening scene is trying to connote,
which we used for some scenes such as when our character was walking fast away
from her house looking for somewhere to escape to. The sound used in opening
sequence is what will help set the tension and suspense as to what is going to
happen, this will also help the audience have a better understanding of the characters.
The location that our opening was set was a strong point that helped improve
the film as in the scene where the torturing was taking place was made in a
dark gloomy place which helped set the scene, as in contrast to the characters
reality which was light, homely and normal; but after the dream happened the perspective
of the traditional home changed in the audiences eyes as they would then start
seeing the home as more creepy.
