outline of proposal

We decided to make a religious thriller as it was something different for the audience to watch and also living in a religious area it all fitted in well with the plot. What we are going to have is the bible open with some rosary beads in the bible the camera will look at the 10 commandments and zoom into the thou shalt not kill and then move onto the storey , where we will begin with a fallow deer’s head on my abattoir floor we will then have the storey of how it happened. We start of with me getting a syringe ready with a liquid inside and then Hannah is just having a leisurely stroll and ask her to look at a map as I am lost and then I put the needle in her neck and see passes out and goes unconscious, I then put her in the car and take her to a secret location when I attempt to purify her and tie her up. Before this happens somewhere in the script will be a drugs deal with the lad who the victim is going out with. The religious bloke is trying to save her from him and gets envious when he see him with her. After he has locked her in this secret location he then tries to calm her down but she kicks him and he leaves her and locks her up in this place.

Institutions that sponser thrillers

Dimension Films are owned by weinstein company. They specialize in scary, thriller and parody thriller films e.g. scream and scary movie. This Institution would be good for promoting our thriller as it has dealt with some very scary thrillers that people who like a thrill have known as classics like scream and Halloween or Darkness. (All films released by Dimension Films prior to October 1, 2005, remain the property of Miramax Films. Miramax also retains a license to use the Dimension label for distribution of the film library it controls. According to the Associated Press, "[Miramax] continues to share half the proceeds from theScary Movie flicks and any other future installments in pre-existing Dimension franchises, it was founded on 25 November 1992)(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimension_Films)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v90lQq1wEoo&feature=plcp&context=C3170f2aUDOEgsToPDskK9AzSEJdxLkNoRpSWOi7R1

our prelim went quite well as the corridors were mainly empty. we did alot of takes of someshots due to the noise in the back ground. we had an hour to film this peace and we also had planning time before. I really wnjoyed performing this peace and acting in it, luckily for us we had a expert camera woman well infact we had 2 and we included a verity of shots. the things we struggles with were passing students, not enough time to film and a decent place for 'The Agents' to take place. our srengths was our team efforts and good communivation skills. some of our weekness was our editing but i feel that wew will pick up of this soon after getting used to the macs.

Reseach of a thriller


What is
Thriller Drama



A thriller is
a film, video game and television program that uses tension, suspense and
excitement as the key elements. The most popular subgenre is a

psychological
thriller. After JFK was assassinated political thrillers and also paranoid
thrillers became popular. The examples of thrillers are films of Alfred
Hitchcock.



A thriller
stimulates the audience mood the key moods are a high level of anticipation,
ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, anxiety, suspense, excitement,
tension, terror. Red Herrings and cliffhangers are often used throughout films.
A chase or fight scene are common in thrillers it could also be a subgenre.



Crime
thrillers often have methods of mainly ransome, captives, revenge kidnapping
where as mystery thriller uses the whodunit technique and investigations. A psychological
thrillers most common elements of mind games stalking confinement and a
psychological themes.  Some other
elements used in psychological thrillers of false accusations fringes of
paranoia. 



The audience
experience tension when a character is placed in a menacing situation or traps
that seems impossible to escape.  And
another time when the audience experienced tension is when a life is threatened
by character being involved in a dangerous for potentially deadly situation.  The plot of a thriller is to conflict with
the outside forces.







What setting
is for a Thriller?

An atmosphere
of creepy menace and sudden violence, crime and murder characterise thrillers.
They mostly are adrenaline rushing, gritty, rousing fast-paced. Thrillers
mainly take place in ordinary places. Though sometimes, they may take place in,
deserts, Polar Regions, or at seas. The heroes in most thrillers are frequently
ordinary citizens unaccustomed to danger. However, more common in crime
thrillers, they may also be "hard men" accustomed to danger, like
police officers and detectives. While such heroes have traditionally been men,
women lead characters have become increasingly common. Hitchcock's films often
placed an innocent victim (an average, responsible person) into a strange,
life-threatening or terrorizing situation, in a case of mistaken identity,
misidentification or wrongful accusation. (wiki)









Definition of
a Thriller



Thrillers may
be defined by the primary mood that they elicit: fearful excitement. In short,
if it "thrills", it is a thriller.

The ideas

1:WW2 theme based.
Location: The air field in Folkingham.
 Includes: War machinery, Fields, Old tractors, Hangers, Silo’s.
 Story line- Man goes to war, dies, ghost haunts the air field where his wife goes to “feel his presence” on a regular basis.
 
Old machinery
Rifle
Hangers
Tractors
Missile silo
 
Helmet
Blazers
Smart trousers
Smart Dresses
Medals
 
Old airport road leading to the modern barn in Farmland near Folkingham Airfield. This WWII airfield was open between 1940-1963 and was originally a "decoy" site. During the day there were dummy planes and lots of activity. During the night it was a Q site or night time decoy (with dummy lighting fitted) that successfully attracted the Luftwaffe. It was redeveloped in 1943 as a proper bomber airfield. The station was later turned into Thor missile base in 1959, but finally closed when Thor missiles were taken out of service in 1963. All that remains of this are three sites with a characteristic ground signature on the Folkingham side of the airfield.
2:
Hostage situation
Set at Henrys abattoir, Hannah tied up
Flicking between the girl hung up and the dad wanting to save her.
Conflict between kidnapper and dad of the victim, he’s keeping her hostage to get money and to prove a point.
Ideas for this from the film ‘taken’ which is a action thriller about a dad chasing his daughter around the world to save her from being taken hostage.
 
Provocative clothing
Black balaclava
Black clothing
Leather gloves
Dark Leather jacket
 
Rope
Knife
Gun
Dead animals
Phone
Briefcase
Money
 
Common abattoirs, or slaughterhouses, are used to process meat for human consumption as well as animal by-products.
This will be an interesting and captivating place to film our thriller, as it is a gloomy, gory and scary location that will give of a mysterious atmosphere that we need to portray.
3: 
Psycho idea.
Man’s daughter dies of having a mental break down and drowning herself in the bath. he got rid of, so he got rid of her.
At the funeral the man has flashbacks of his daughter dying as he was the one who actually killed her, as she wasn’t the ‘perfect child’ and was rebellious, him being a religious control freak couldn’t andle it and everything he didn’t like
 
Black clothing- funeral.

Coffin- bake-o-lite
