My group narrative:
My idea of a narrative for a new thriller film is a teenage girl has an argument with her boyfriend, causing him to walk off to go a get his car from the car park so he can go home. The girl goes after him but is too late. The car park is dark and deserted with no one around. As she stands in the middle of the car park alone, crying, she notices a tall figure standing in the way of the exit. She soon realises that it is a man who she often sees looking at her regularly; like a stalker. She starts to become panicked as there is no exit apart from the one he stands in. She pulls out her phone to call for help but has no service, leaving her unable to reach anyone. She decides to risk walking out of the dark car park without acknowledging him, however he grabs her and threatens her with a knife and says she is to go with him otherwise she will die.
- There are 3 characters, therefore each member of the group would have time on screen.
- Enigma is incorporated into the scenes
- Conventions of a thriller are included
disadvantages:
- the torture scene may be hard to create
- May give too much away for an opening sequence
Group member 2:
Farmhouse into oblivion
A thriller in which the family that mysteriously went missing in a secluded farmhouse, in which a group of sixth form students (aged 16-17) go out to investigate the structure to see if they can find the origins of the disappearance. The protagonist of the film would be one of the group members, who will receive the most screen time (antagonist undecided)
advantages:
- Included conventions of a thriller
disadvantages:
- antagonists not specified
- there isn't 3 characters
- Location might be hard to find
Group member 3:
- Forest
- low key lighting
- killer might have a mask
- urban myth that a killer lives in the forest
- group of teenagers
- wanting to explore the urban myth
- all sneak out of house at night
- decide to meet at forest
- all explore the forest
- they think its not true
- they hear some rustling
- start to get a little scared but brush it off
- then killer comes running out
- briefly show him with the handheld camera
- they all start to run back
- screaming and shouting
- end
advantages:
- Conventional to a thriller film: for example the location
- Location would be easy to access
disadvantages:
- May need more people to fill all characters needed
