Individual ideas for a narrative- Miss Georgiou

-Inspiration from other films
I have got inspiration from prom night as in the beginning it is set in a normal house where anything scary is unexpected to the audience. So for my thriller opening I will try to trick the audience into thinking its not the thriller genre by using high key lighting and bright colours therefore when something happens in the film which is scary it will build tension and suspense really quickly.I also have got inspiration from the film scream as there identity is hidden which is a good idea to build suspense and tension for the audience.
I have inspiration from saw as it uses low key lighting throughout the film which is a good way to build tension and suspense.

My idea of the opening scene is that this young six year old girl gets bullied at school or at home as a result she tries to murder the person therefore she ends up in  a mental home. A month later she escapes and comes back to haunt the family/school and ends up killing the whole year/family. The six year old girl will be very innocent and will have typically have blonde hair whereas after she has been at the mental home she will look distorted and look completely different as this will build a relationship between the audience and the character as they will have sympathy towards her and it will show she has changed and become even more mental. It will be set in an urban area because its not typical and will interest the audience more. The main concept of my idea is for it to be jumpy as this is conventional to the thriller genre. My idea is different to typical thriller films as the character is both the victim and the killer so that the audience will engage with the film more as by having one character but being two role will interest them. The main conventions of the scene will be the use of low key lighting throughout and the murder weapons. The victims will look really innocent before with blonde hair but after the incident of her murdering someone and going to a mental home she will look completely different by looking older, having darker hair and wearing dark clothes so the audience are aware that she has turned into the killer and can see the contrast in characters. I will use low key lighting throughout as its very conventional to the thriller genre and will build high suspense. I will rate my idea as a 15 as there will be slight violence, dangerous weapons and blood which young viewers may find offensive.

  1. You have made a start in describing the inspirations that you have had from watching various thriller films, but aim to include screenshots to support the points that you have made.

    You have also made a start in describing your individual idea for a narrative. But again further detail is needed, by considering the opening sequence and what will be shown to an audience. This can be achieved, by expanding on your points above
