Thriller Notes...

Many of the thriller film introductions we have watched have very little dialogue; therefore in our film we have no script.
We are going to have diegetic noises for example heavy breathing from the stalker and his heavy footprints when he is stalking the girl in red - victim. The Victim's diegetic noise will be when she screams as he kidnaps her.

A thriller from last years group 'The Followed' has a similar plot line to our thriller. A camera shot they did that we liked was a low angle shot of the stalker walking, we are going to have low and high angles of the stalker following the victim through the churchyard.
Another group had a shot of their villain walking through a metal fence we are going to do shots of the stalker following the girl through trees, bushes and fences to show his point of view watching her and as the audience's view of watching the stalker and the victim going past.

The victim is wearing a red coat which will be the only colour in the thriller like in 'Sin City' the red symbolises red for blood and shows how the victim is sexually alluring towards the stalker.

The film 'Leon' a shot which we liked was when the villain was behind the victim and the camera was moving towards the back of the victim, as the villain moved towards him with the knife, this created tension because you couldn’t see behind until the knife appeared around the victims throat, the victims heavy breathing also built up the suspense.
