Thriller Idea Pitches


This is a powerpoint presentation we made to show 3 ideas we have come up with, we presented it to the class to get some feedback on what works well and what may not be practical.

We also took inspiration from films such as 'Jumanji' as we though with a twist the idea could be thrilling as it would all depend on the luck of a dice.

We thought about using contact lenses to create a realistic effect of snakes eyes on a person and we also will find a local reptile centre to film at.

for this idea we took inspiration form costumes and props used in films like 'The Da Vinci Code' as we agreed it gave a very mysterious effect.

One of the key elements of this idea we would focus on is the idea of fire and candles as they would create a very spooky lighting effect, especially if reflecting of a face or other props.

The overall ideas for this idea was to focus on the idea of different peoples fobias and bring them  to there worst nightmare.

We then decided that childhood fears are particularly scary as they can affect many people and  would make a good thriller as music could be made form nursery rhymes etc...

  1. Still alot missing that, unless you do it, will cost you marks - there's not enough evidence to show how you developed your own production. You need:

     Post summary of conventions for opening of a film – re: camera, editing, narrative, mise-en-scene, sound, etc
     Write a questionnaire to explore your audience’s expectations of the genre, distribute it and analyse the results – post copies of questionnaires and results on blog
     Explain how your audience research will affect your production
     Record your target audience’s reactions to your pitches
     Explain the rationale behind the idea you have chosen to develop into the finished product; concentrate on justifying your choices in terms of your audience research and knowledge of the conventions of the thriller genre.
     Post copies of storyboards and shooting scripts
     Post and explain images to justify mise-en-scene details
     You should refer to your audience research in order to justify your planning and ideas.
     Record details of how the shoot / editing went – things that went well / problems + how you overcame them etc.
