Wrong Return: Thriller Opening Research and Planning

RESEARCH AND PLANNING


1.   Explain how the treatment for your film fulfils the conventions of the thriller genre?

My treatment shows what has happened in the end but then cuts to reality and how it all started. The audience is left to suspense to think what has happened and what will happen.

2.   Do you intend to challenge the conventions in any way?

Not dramatically, but in some ways.

3.   Which real media texts do you think have influenced your creative choices regarding narrative?

The beginning of ‘The Road’, by how there is a flash back with happiness and sadness. But I will do that in the opposite way and have the sad bit of the movie to show first to the audience and the have the title which will lead to the happiness. 

And,

I have got this idea for m film from ‘Shifty’ and how he has his main problem and his life.

4.   Have you been inspired by the opening title sequences of other real media texts?

The Road and Shifty.


5.   As an institution, what kind of film company do you see yourselves as?

We see ourselves as a small independent (British) film company that specializes in thrillers.

6.   Who is your intended audience?

The age of our intended audience is 15-25, however, due to the large amount of sub-genres, i guess the film will attract younger and older ages.

7.   How might that effect distribution and box office takings?

I think it will be a success to box office takings due to the fact that this age group are the most popular age for cinema tickets.


8.   What technical skills do you think will be improved by the making of this film?

Editing skills. The film contains endless shots and musical effects of various lengths.
Our camera skills. There are a large amount of different locations such as: the forest, houses, rooms, streets, shops and many more...

9.   What difficulties do you envisage?

The main difficulties I think we will face is the length of the clips we should have and possibly the correct locations. We don’t know yet where we could film for the house location because we need quite a modern kitchen to film in.

10.                 Explain how camera angles and editing will help you create tension and what your intended effect on the audience might be?

Sometimes camera angles and editing give a movie that magic touch and creates a attraction for the audience. We will be using a range of different camera angles, such as: close ups, panning shots, medium shots, moving shots, high/low angles, really close up shots (eyes fill the screen). The really close up shots are quite common in thriller movies, to show the detail of the facial expression the actor is trying to show.
