Group Narrative Miss Georgiou

Rhianna's Narative 

Themes: Phycological Thriller

Characters: Girlfriend

Boyfriend

Stalker

Setting: Stalker's home

Plot: The sequence opens with hands cutting up pictures of a good looking boy. The hands are easily identified as women's hands, and they are cutting very slowly and carefully. The hands stick the pictures into a photo album, which on the front cover says 'My lover'. On the wall behind the stalker is many pictures of the good looking boys girlfriend, with pins and darts in her face. The stalker goes into her draw, where she pulls out a knife, puts it in her bag and leaves the house.

Camera Shots + Editing:

Slow paced editing to create suspense and tension. Extreme close ups of hands and scissors. Also of the pictures, to show the intensity of the stalking.

I think that this would be a good idea and would look professional. Also it can lead to a long story line which is what we need as its the first 2 minute clip of a film. Also because the victim was a boy it goes again the conventions of a thriller film which will be more interesting for the audience to watch. As she leaves her house we don't know what's going to happen, this will lead the audience on and make them want to know what's happening since there is a good looking boy who they are drawn to and want to know more about him. 

Millie's Narrative

Themes: Haunting, teenage boy, trapped, Physiological thriller.

Characters:

Teenage boy

Spirit

Setting:

Dark shed, night- time, evening.

Plot: The opening would start with a boy running into a shed, looking distressed and pale. He sits in the shed, crouched down nearly crying.

He hears scratching and whispers, also a woman's scream.

He cries out 'stop', 'go away', writing on steamy windows 'I SPY'

Cut, scream, Cut

Blood on window, man hanging from ceiling. blood on floor.

'Tommy Ford's body was never discovered, His family moved from Essex and never returned. 10 years later The Smith family moved in'

Camera Shots + Editing

Quick cuts to fasten the pace of the sequence.

Point of view shots, panning around the room to show the whole room and that no one is around.

Extreme close up

Millie's narrative is a very good opening scene, its something which i haven't seen before in a thriller film which is really good and would get us a good grade. Where the new family moves in shows how you can make a full film on that and it would be fun to watch and evolve the secret of what happened. The villain has a hidden identity which is a convention of thriller films but also adds mystery which can be found by watching the full film. With low key lighting we'll be able to have more conventions of thriller films and make the audience for scared.

the problem with Millie's is that the victim is a boy which isn't conventional for thriller films, we are going against the conventions and hope that he is still vulnerable in the situation. also this is good as it can gain more audience and is a better film for it.

Aimee's Narrative

Themes: Haunting, teenage girls, trapped, Physiological thriller.Characters:
Teenage girls
SpiritSetting:
Hotel room, after prom

Plot: The opening would start with 4 girls coming back from their prom night and staying in a hotel. they thought it would b a good idea to do a ouiji board. Evil spirits come our of the board and killed 3 of them and 1 got away but then she starts getting haunted by these evil spirits.Camera Shots + Editing

Extreme close up

Aimee's narrative isn't a very good story-line with a long film after the 2 minute opening scene. this is conventional as well as their all girls which isn't going against the conventions and is also closely linked to another film called 'prom night' which is quiet similar. Its also set in quiet a known   setting so would be gaining as many points as we could.

Rhianna's narrative is conventional because it is a phycological thriller which will be easy for the target audience to relate to. Also the hidden antagonist at the beginning hides the identity so the audience are using their imagination. Also the fact that the sequence goes against the grain as the antagonist is a female.

The disadvantages of Rhianna's narrative is that the setting is not very eery or creepy, this could make the finish look immature and may not build enough tension for the audience. Also the darts in the victim has been done before and may be predictable.

After discussing, all four members decided to go with Narrative 1 which was my narrative. This is because we feel like it will have the most impact on the audience as it is a phycological thriller, putting the audience on edge and allowing them to relate to the situation. Also the unnatural happenings will create a very jumpy and eery effectThe low key lighting is conventional as it creates shadows and hides any lurking unknown characters.
