Planning: Final Idea - MR S

Final Ideas  

Introduction: After reviewing each of our ideas that we came up with, we put all of our ideas together and developed a more realistic plan. 

Genre: Thriller

Sub-genres: Psychological and Crime.

Characters: 

Male antagonist - Amani

A teenage brother aged 18, who has killed her younger sister who is the pro-antagonist in the clip. The audience do not know why he has killed her sister but all they know is he has flash backs of his going mental in his head from feeling guilty.

Female pro-antagonist - Ruth

A young girl who has been killed by her big brother, when the antagonist is having flash backs then we are introduced to the little girls voice who says 'why me always me, its not my fault. I don't like you anymore.' This will only be given to the audience which then they will figure out what is the reason for this young girl to die because of his brother. 

Narrative: Our first scene is set as our male antagonist Amani is walking towards his house which the camera captures a close up shot of the characters hand holding the keys to the door. Then he will be walking into the hut which he has to walk up the stairs to go to his house, he comes across blood that is splatted all over the stairs and then while he walking up the stairs, he comes to the top of the stairs and realises that the blood is leading to his house and that his fronts doors of his house is silently open. So he runs into the house to come across to his sisters body, Amani is the person who killed his sister but because he is guilty, he's acting like he does not know how it happened, He then starts to have flash backs which he hears his sisters voice talking to him. 

Aristotle (theme)- Our thriller is conventional to Aristotle theory as there is a clear beginning, middle and end, however the end is left with a cliff-hanger. This helps to create anxiety and fear for the audience as the audience do not know what is about to happen later on. 

Mise en scene:

• Lighting: Low key lighting will be used to build tension and create fear for negative events. 
• Cinematography: I will be using close up shots to capture the antagonists to facial expression and I will also use a crane shot which will help the audience to understand what kind of surrounding the antagonist and pro-antagonist may be in. 
• Sound: I will use non-digetic sound which means that the sound will not match what is playing on the screen so it will create suspense for the audience. 
• Costume, hair and makeup: The antagonist will be wearing black jeans and a white jean which may show that he is trying to cover up blood stains on his trousers. The pro-antagonist will also be wearing white which shows that she is a innocent child.
• Setting: The first scene that the audience is introduced is the hut scene which shows a ordinary boy walking up the stairs. Then the house scene appears and the reason why we have set this scene in a house is because this builds tension for the audience as a house scene is conventional to thriller films.
• Iconography: The only object that we will be using is a knife which represents violence and fear.
• Body Language and facial expression: The pro-antagonists body language shows the audience that she is helpless as her body is laying on the floor, she does not move at all. The antagonists body language and facial expression show that he is guilty for what he has done, as she is leaning forward and tilting towards her body which show that he is wanting he back but its too late. 

Conclusion

Overall, I want my audience to feel engaged to my thriller film as I have ensured that I use all of the Micro- elements in order to present our thriller as realistic as possible. I want my audience to respond back with fear, suspense through the themes of violence. I want the audience to understand how guilty the antagonist is after what he has caused for his innocent little sister.
