Research and Ideas
- Over the Christmas holidays I have watched a few thriller films to get some initial ideas. I thought we might be able to incorperate some of the methods used into our own thriller.
FILM 1 - The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Good Points:
- I really liked how eerie the forest felt. It made for a very disturbing setting
- The hand-cam effect made it so lifelike! It made you wonder if it was real or not. Could we incoperate the same idea?
- The characters appeared completely vulnerable and isolated, set for their ultimate doom
FILM 2 - Psycho (1960)
Good Points:
- This film always managed to keep you guessing. The twist at the end was brilliantly plotted - maybe we should do this?
- There was a great sense of 'the unknown', the unknown location, the unknown killer etc., this made it very mysterious
- The film incorporates aspects of other genres, such as horror - however seeing as we only have 2 minutes we should really stick completely to the Thriller genre
FILM 3 - The Matrix (1997)
Good Points:
- I liked the idea behind the psychology of fate. The film really plays mind-tricks with you and keeps you guessing
- The character of Neo seemed very vulnerable but he has a real depth and is very interesting
