Feedback and Response on Thriller Ideas





                Thriller Idea No.1



Here is my feedback:





Response:


I would, try to expand the sequence by adding another element before or after. For example, her daily routine: brushing her teeth, drinking coffee; going to work. That could then lead to the scene where she is sitting on the sofa. Or I could add a section after showing the killer interacting with the victim. I need to add another element in the opening sequence to make it interesting and engaging. I would like to show the killer’s interaction with the victim, and perhaps use P.O.V or interesting camera angles to give a distorted and uncomfortable feel to the situation. From the classes feedback, I’ll try and explore the killer’s normal everyday side and her dark and evil side in order to create an interesting and original thriller sequence. In short, I need to add to my opening sequence idea in order for it to maintain a tense and interesting tone across the two minutes.



                Thriller Idea No.2





Here is my feedback:






Response:

I need to add more conventions of the thriller genre from the start in order to make it more clear that it is a thriller. I could do this with the use of non-diegetic sound such as an eerie soundtrack or using diegetic sounds e.g. kettle whistling, to create tension. In my original idea I tried to condense an entire film in to the two minutes; the opening was very detailed and showed their relationship becoming murderous; this doesn’t leave any more space for the film develop. Therefore, I should keep my opening sequence simpler and dilute the amount of information I give the audience. I should show the dysfunctionality of the couple as an element to the film rather than the central focus, It would make the narrative more interesting. I could alter the opening sequence, to show that they are a normal couple and the man is talking to his wife, not realising that she is dead the entire time. This would create tension and shock and would allow for the story to develop from there. After taking the feedback into consideration I could: simplify the opening sequence and add more thriller conventions to make the genre more evident.
