Thriller Proposals

What we propose to do for our thriller is highly influenced by pitch idea number 3. This would be set in a barn along the Thurlby fen that has been abandoned, so this would instantly give it a creepy, eerie effect. The plot of it is an unfamiliar female killer who kills her male victims for whatever reason. She takes them to this barn and eventually kills them. This is effective and would surprise the audience as it is a take on the cliché' that killers are male and the victims are female. We changed it round to make it more original and unique to our piece. Obviously, we propose to use a variety of shot types in order to enhance the scene and mise-en-scene etc.

The typical mise-en-scene for this idea would include props such as shovels, rope, rags for gagging and so on. Very similarly, the clothing we plan on using would include standard ripped and bloody shirts, hat to hide the killers face. Being as it will be set in a barn, you should expect to see a lot of bricks, grass and general woodland.
For the sound, typical eerie, minor sounds should be expected. String instruments deem to be highly popular within the thriller genre so we would want to interpret this into our piece also. However, we need to be careful with copyright issues and not steal anyone else’s soundtrack. We will want to include fast paced transitions in order to juxtapose with the pace of the scene, and inserting it where appropriate. Grainy, black and white effects would be expected within the thriller as well as it gives it an additional bland effect, also in relation o the scene.
