Our thriller clip starts with a shot of a fuzzing TV, this would hopefully create an enigma as it would unnerve the audience, The narrative begins with Robyn a blonde female character, we chose a blonde female because we thought it would be conventional to a thriller genre. The girl wakes up like a normal day, we see her getting ready putting her make up on this is to make her seem innocent and build a relationship with the audience as they would sympathise with her, this is suddenly interrupted by fast editing where we included jerky images of a lamp we got this inspiration from Se7en where the clip is very jerky and distorting we hoped this would get the audience on the edge. As the opening scene continues we see the girl walk into the bathroom pour water on her face then walk downstairs to get some water whilst this is happening we have included editing of jerky images to unease the audience. The scene continues with the girl starting to act weird sitting down and pouring the glass of water on the floor this makes the audience think something is up and the audience will be able to unravel that the once innocent is far from normal, this will create suspense as the audience will know its building up to a climax. The water is being poured out of the glass we have used editing to make this slow to emphasise the water is deadly as the girl got possessed by the water. By being possessed by the water the girl is seen walking through the forest during these scenes we included jerky images as well to keep the audience still on edge and keep them engaged, we dragged out the walk through the forest to leave the audience in suspense to see how the climax ends. The girl has finally arrived at the lake after being possessed the final shot is then zoomed in on the water to show the girl has killed her self by jumping in the water.
I believe our opening scene has the conventions and elements of a good thriller clip. We tried to incorporate the idea of typical thriller conventions such as low key lighting we thought to include this idea as it emphasises the iconography of the young girl because the dark lighting, will make the girl seem brighter because what she is wearing. This will make her seem more powerful and therefore will add to the already established relationship between both the audience and the characters because it will make her possesion seem more individual and will add to the sympathy.
You have given a basic overview of your sequence, explaining the general idea behind it; however, you need to think of this as a frame by frame recount of your storyboard, explaining what you can see/hear and the cinematography, sound, editing etc. used at each stage.
ReplyDeleteYou don't need to explain why you have used things until the end.
The main body needs to be more detailed
