Alex's Individual Narrative
My main ideas for my thriller film:
Characters:
Antagonist: The killer would have a hidden identity to puzzle the audience, he would have a large body build.
Protagonist/Witness: Someone who will see the first murder happen which will make them a main character throughout the rest of the film. They will be hunted by the killer because they have witnessed the original murder. The witness will be confused and scared throughout the rest of the film.
Victim: The victim would be an innocent female and not much would be known about her to increase the audience's appeal for the rest of the film.
Theme:
Murder in the opening scene to shock the audience because it is a murder and in the opening scene to surprise the audience. Set in a house in a woods. The victim would be alone and unable to gain help from anyone.
Narrative:
The first thing to happen in my thriller film will be a chase scene between the murderer and the victim, followed by a murder scene.
Opening section.
Conventions:
Time: Night time (around 23:00).
Murder in the opening scene.
A victim and a killer.
A chase scene.
Set in a lonely house in the woods.
Helpless Victim.
Liam's Individual Narrative
Narrative
Film starts with a person on their computer doing some online gaming when suddenly a chat box pops up in the screen. At first the person ignores it thinking its just another pop-up, soon the killer typing to the person starts revealing personal information that no one else could know. The person is now scared and getting abusive to the killer, the killer then shows a live feed of the room the persons in, the person tries to run and escape, noises and footsteps can be heard throughout the house. Just when the person believes to be free and thinks he has evaded the killer but is cornered in a room, he appears behind him and swiftly stabs the person.

Target Audience
The target audience for this particular film teenagers fifteen and over for this reason the film would be rate a '15'. This is because is meets most of the specifications of a '15' film according to the British Board of Film Classification website. It has moderate violence and language throughout the film, showing some quite gory scenes very occasional which is justified by the context of the film.

A psychopathic serial killer wonders the dark streets in search to kill his father. The father neglected the boy since he was a young because he cared more about money and his job, and so the boy was left to do everything himself. The boy ran away from home at the age of 8, hoping his father would come looking for him, but he didn't. Now at the age of 16 he is known as the most dangerous serial killer in the UK. His father knows something is wrong as his memories of his son reappear, but is it too late to regret what he has done.

Your group narrative shows basic group planning and this is because you have not considered the advantages and disadvantages of all group members.
ReplyDeleteAlso you need to expand on the group narrative in more detail and provide more detailed reasons for your audience, themes and conventions
