Thriller Comparison-Miss Georgiou

Thriller Comparison

Do you think you have created a successful thriller sequence and why?

I believe the thriller sequence that my group created was to the best of our ability and it can have the potential to be a successful sequence to our target audience. I think this because the sequence portrays several key themes that can be recognized to the people watching the sequence for example the theme of a tense chase scene is obvious and is something we think the target audience will enjoy through the research we have carried out by using questionnaires.

I also think the thriller sequence that we created can be successful to our target audience category of the 15 rated as it holds several key conventions such as having an antagonist and protagonist and having a exciting chase scene.

Which micro element, best shows your creativity and understanding of thriller conventions the most?
I believe the micro element that best shows my groups creativity is the editing side of the sequence, this allowed the group to manipulate the sequence by adding different sound effects and using simple animations to make the scene of a better standard. In addition I believe that the other elements add further understanding the thriller conventions.

Compare your opening sequence to a successful thriller and explain how your thriller is conventional

Halloween Comparison-
A comparison can me made between the successful thriller film Halloween as it has several POV shots which are included in the opening sequence also this is very similar to the sequence I have created as my thriller sequence does also have numerous point of view shots within both characters. Furthermore the low key lighting in the opening scene of halloween can draw a comparison as my sequence is also set at night with a feeling of horror added within it.


In addition the narrative is similar as their is an innocent victim involved in both sequences as well as it is also a female victim and there also is a violent killer added within the sequence of both Halloween and my thriller. Another comparison can be made through the use of sound effects at different parts of the sequence as my group aimed to create a tense environment that halloween have created for their audience.

AS Evaluation- Question Seven

1)      Preliminary Task- Progression to the final sequence.

The purpose of the preliminary task was to explore the various camera angles that could be shown within our own opening sequence to the thriller film also the whole purpose of the task was to film someone walking into a room and speaking to someone in a minute conversation also it got the group to work as a team as we are going to be working together for the thriller sequence that we are creating and it got the group aware of a filming environment for getting filmed in the actual sequence.

From the task as a group we learnt the different camera angles that could be involved in the sequence that we create also we got used to how the tripod works on the camera but at first this was something that we struggled to work out also we struggled to plan what we was going to say to each other in the time that was given as well as this we had the struggle of moving the camera when filming also we had to repeat some of this because of background noise and to try and get the same exact position of the camera from each time of moving the camera.

The preliminary task was to explore the various camera angles that could be shown within our own opening sequence to the thriller film also the whole purpose of the task was to film someone walking into a room and speaking to someone in a minute conversation also it got the group to work as a team as we are going to be working together for the thriller sequence that we are creating and it got the group aware of a filming environment for getting filmed in the actual sequence. 

Another strength of the preliminary task was it set out all the stages that we have to go through upon making the real opening sequence. A further strength of this task is it got us familiar as of how to edit a certain clip by using final cut pro for the final thriller sequence.

AS Evaluation-Question Five

      How did you attack/address the audience?

      Another way we addressed the audience is through vox pops as we interviewed several people about the kind of things that they would like to see in thriller films and from this we analysed the data and created a spreadsheet and through story boards the most popular answers of what people like to see in thriller films in addition this research allowed my group to create a thriller sequence that different kind of age groups can enjoy as well as our specific target audience. 

b    

       Different posts from blogger also allowed me to analyse the different thriller films that are successful and the different types of micro elements that successful to thriller films also it gave me a chance to analyse the posts to find what works well in the industry.

AS Media Evaluation-Question Four

To continue the audience can build a relationship with the characters as the female represents the teenage female age group by showing a theme of being naive by walking through an alley way in the evening and the audience can build a relationship with the male character as he represents the figure and status of being dangerous and threatening to those that watch the sequence and another relationship can be built with the audience through the female victim being frightened as the audience could have felt this kind of situation that could happen to them or has felt like they have been chased before.

Audience Feedback-Miss Georgiou

Audience Feedback-Miss Georgiou

How is audience feedback important to a production?

Audience feedback is important to a production because it allows my group to gain the constructive critisism that was given out and helps us to improve the parts of the sequence that the audience felt needed improving. Audience feedback also allows the group to understand the parts of the sequence that the group done well in and the parts of the sequence that we need to address in order to make it better as a whole.    

How did you receive audience feedback from your target audience?

We received audience feedback in several different ways for example we presented our sequence as a power point presentation to the class. We used this as a way of getting vital feedback from several students and we can use feedback sheets that were given out to improve the quality of the thriller sequence. Another way of receiving feedback was through the use of questionnaires

How would this feedback benefit your production and the industry?


The feedback benefits my group in numerous different ways for example it enables us to to identify the mistakes in the sequence and where slight different improvements that can be made from the rough cut to the final production of our film. The feedback allows us to change the different parts of the sequence to make it have a positive impact on the direction of the sequence instead of a negative impact.

Comments made on things we could work on

The narrative of our film was mentions by others as they felt it was one that certain aspects could be worked on for example making it clearer to the audience towards the start of the narrative and at the end of the narrative as well.

Another comment that was made is the lack of using sound effects to my groups advantage. The comments showed that we should include different types of sound effects to add more tension and suspense within the scene

A final comment that was made is the lighting of the sequence as people felt it was very dark and it made the sequence unclear of what happened at the end of the sequence.

How the group overcame these problems

We overcame the criticism on the narrative by using and developing more short scenes into the sequence which would hopefully make the sequence clearer to the audience.

The sound effects was an easy problem to overcome as we searched for suitable sound that can be added to the sequence to make a better effect to the sequence and in particular finding the correct sound for the chase scene in the forest was crucial to the sequence.

The lighting problem was another easy problem to overcome as we as a group just went and filmed the certain parts of the sequence that was deemed too dark by the audience. This made the sequence much more clearer and more understanding towards the audience.  

AS Evaluation-Question Three

1)      What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

AS Evaluation-Question Two

Question Two-Evaluation

2)      How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The main character in my group’s thriller film is the victim. The victim represents a clear stereotypical thriller victim including the feature of being blonde as we aimed to highlight the convention of her being vulnerable throughout my group’s thriller sequence by making the female figure being perceived as paranoid as she continuously looks behind her to see who is there and we aim to highlight her being vulnerable as she is one her own walking through a backstreet which has conventions of the young female gender of being naive. The other main character is the killer a masked tall terrifying figure in an attempt to shock the audience by this and we have included these two characters in the thriller sequence as we wanted it to be as conventional as possible to the thriller genre and we thought as a group having a vulnerable Blonde victim and a tall masked killer would succeed as a thriller sequence.  

The gender of the two characters involved in the film are represented in a stereotypical way through the victim being female this is include in various other thriller films such as Scream and we thought it would only make sense to have a female victim in the sequence. The characters would appeal to the target audience that we have due to the fact that the characters involved are the same age as the audience furthermore the  target audience that my group has of the 15 rated category can relate to the female character as she portrays innocence to the female audience that are watching the sequence.

 My group decided that we should have the characters in the sequence the same age as our target audience as they'd be more inclined to watch the sequence if they can relate to the characters and I feel having the characters the same age is the best way of the sequence succeeding if the target audience of teenagers can relate to the way the characters act and the conventions that each character has in particular the female character as she has conventions of the stereotypical female teenager. 

AS Evaluation-Question One

Question One-Evaluation

Brief & Members involved

The thriller sequence that my group created starts when the victim is walking down the street and she cuts on to the alley way to fasten her journey. As she is walking through the isolated alleyway she continues to think that someone is behind her at this point she feels vulnerable and is too worried to look behind her to see who’s there. As the sequence progresses the audience see point of view shots from both the characters to see what is happening from their perspective in addition the sequence continues as the victim has entered the forest just to hear a loud noise from behind her from who which is the killer with a hammer. The victim, then starts to panic as there is no way out from this point. The victim starts to run through the bushes of the forest in an attempt to lose the killer as he is following her close by but the victim falls over and tries her best to hide behind a tree so the killer cannot find her but this attempt fails and the killer pulls the victim away from behind her to finish of the sequence you hear a ringtone of the victims phone on the surface of the forest.

The group members that were involved in this media thriller sequence project consists of four people and they are myself who was the director of photography with two of the actors who are Tom Tovey the killer and Sophie Ledwith who is the victim and our final member was Devon Thomas who was the director of the sequence. My role of the sequence was to film the actual sequence and I was responsible for the camera and tripod when finishing each day of filming. From this role I learnt how to set up a camera and tripod in a film situation as well as the different shots that are involved in the sequence. I believe our group did work well together as we were determined to get the job done as we completed five days of filming together and the team ethic was certainly there within the group. I also think that my group’s thriller sequence was made to a reasonable standard as it followed some key conventions for example a chase scene and the suspense/shock which is involved in the thriller also I believe the twist at the end of the sequence is a great way to end a film. The sequence is also conventional to the thriller genre as it contains a blonde female victim as well as a tall masked unknown killer.

1)      In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

       The generic conventions of a thriller film is for it to contain wide uses of suspense/surprise and shock. Throughout the film also it should contain different elements of sound through diegetic and non-diegetic sound to make the film more interesting to the viewer. 

       Another generic convention that a thriller film should have is an antagonist and a protagonist with a fluent story line. I believe my groups thriller sequence has followed most of the key generic conventions which are involved in the thriller films. For example my groups thriller film did include the conventions of having an antagonist and a protagonist as we took inspiration from the films Halloween In addition having a antagonist and protagionist is conventional to the thriller genre as the majority of these type of films have them. 

      We have included various sound effects that are conventional to the thriller genre as well as having a fluent storyline. My groups opening sequence adds meaning to the thriller genre as through the POV shots and the low key lighting which we have taken inspirations from the film series Scream in addition

       I took inspirations from the film Scream as that film has many different key conventions that are included within the thriller genre. I would have compared my groups thriller sequence to the thriller film opening sequence of Halloween and this is due to the fact they had the same sort of idea and storyline with a masked killer and a female victim also we aimed to take inspiration from their use of suspenseful sound effect when involved as the killer is hunting down the victim. The title of our thriller film is Aphotic which has connotations of isolation which is conventional to the thriller genre and my group chose the title of Aphotic as it has a generic meaning of mystery and enigma that is essential to the making of a film and my group were under the impression that the title of the film would make our target audience already interested in the sequence before it had started.

Rough Cut-Miss Miller

Rough Cut-Miss Miller

 

The purpose of a rough cut is to gain visual feedback of how the sequence has done so far. The rough cut is the best way of getting feedback because it gains a lot of different opinions that can help the group as a way of making it better through peoples opinions on the rough cut.  The rough cut also only can be changed through the editing stage of the sequence.

From the rough cut presentation we got both positive and negative feedback and the use of feedback gives the group a chance to improve on problems that are in the rough cut for example from the feedback that we got we needed to improve a problem within a scene where a group member shouts 'go' that shouldn't be there we can assess this problem by having this feedback and from the feedback we received constructive criticism as we still need to improve the final sequence through the use of sound effects and an eerie sound track that can be used also the credits in the sequence need to be spaced out more so the audience can clearly identify who has done what in the sequence.

We also had some positive feedback through the use of our point of view shots that the audience thought had a unique impact on the thriller sequence and as a group we were impressed by the feedback that we got due to the fact that it can make our thriller sequence to a better standard through stamping out the problems that are in the sequence.

To summerise all feedback both positive and negative is useful to my group for example negative feedback helps us on areas that we need to improve on and positive feedback let's us know where we are doing well on the assignment. Feedback to the group is crucial because it helps on areas that need to be improved and that other areas that we may have not noticed can get improved as well.

 

Opening Scene Narration-Miss Miller

Opening Scene Narration-Miss Miller

The start of our groups thriller sequence starts off with the victim walking down the street and she cuts into a backstreet to speed up her journey. As she is walking through the back street she feels something or someone is behind her she begins to feel paranoid and she looks behind to see who or what is there at this moment of time. The use of a tense sound track will be used with a suspenseful sound effect because it is oftern conventional to the thriller genre when someone is isolated. The victim then leaves the back street but and again she behind to see the killer with a hammer in his hand this will have a dramatic or emotioinal effect on the audience as they will be shocked when they see someone with a hammer in thier hand. In addition it then goes to a POV shot in the victims point of view from this analysis you can tell the victim is extremely worried at this point. As the sequence continues  the victim tries to lose the killer and eventually turns into a forest/field as she enters the field you can hear the heavy breathing and the sound of the victims heart she notices the killer she then attempts to lose the killer by trying to run through the forest but then she falls over a wooden log she then begins to crawl over to the nearest tree and the sound of the soundtrack speeds up as they audience feels the anticipation that the killer is going to get caught. In addition the sequence continues and the killer is looking for the victim but is unable to find her but the victims phone starts to ring and the killer notices this providing the shock of the thriller sequence and showing the high angle at the point to show the victim. The ending of the sequence shows the killer grabbing the victim and the last you see of the sequence is the killers mobile phone ringing on the floor with the victim and the killer no where to be seen.

Overall the sequence will contain numerous codes and conventions that will make the thriller sequence better for example the iconography of the hammer will provide a shock for the audience as they do not expect a weapon like that also another element that will make the thriller sequence better is the uses of point of view shots especially from the victim view as this will give the audience a feeling of what it is like to be in her situation and what it is like to be to get chased. The sequence will be made more conventional by the use of a chase scene and the location of the thriller sequence that we've created.

Production Roles-MissMiller

Production Roles-MissMiller

Group-

Devon Thomas

Tom Tovey

Scott Arbuckle
Sophie Ledwith

The idea of production roles is to give people specific allocated roles to help ensure that the thriller sequence will run in the right manor. The main roles that are necessary for creating a film are producers,directors,actors,director of photography and the editor and these are essential within any film or scene that someone is creating. For example the producer will oversee everything that is going on in the sequence. Having specific roles within any film will make the filming and editing stage easier because everyone that is involved will have a clear overview of what they are doing.

The producer of our groups sequence is Devon. The producer is the person that overlooks everything in the sequence and this entails arranging the location that we are going to film in also they change certain parts of the sequence if they do not like different scenes in the film. We decided that Devon was going to be the producer as we thought she would be the best person at leading a group for example she decided the location of the thriller sequence and she got the other actor from outside our group to take part in the sequence and organizing the time that everyone will meet at.

The director in the sequence was also Devon. The director is the person that controls the making of the sequence and they have a guidance on how the actors act in the sequence. We as a group chose Devon to be the director as we thought  she would be best as checking the each individual clip to check if they were good enough or if we had to redo certain clips to make them better. 

The actors in our group was Tom who was the killer and Sophie who was the victim. Sophie was the victim as we feel it was best to have a stereotypical blonde victim which is conventional to the thriller genre also Tom was better suited to be the role of the killer because he is the tallest member of the group and the most confident and comfortable to be the killer from our group members.

Tom also had the vital role of the editor within the sequence and the role of an editor is to cut down clips and to put each and every clip into a specific order so the thriller sequence would make perfect sense and another responsibility of an editor is to add all the different sound effects that we are going to use for example heavy breathing will be added in at the editing stage as well as a heartbeat sound as the victim is running away from the killer and Tom was given the role of the editor as he knew how to edit from editing the preliminary task so he already had an idea of what was needed to be done.

I was given the role of the camera man and this was to film each and every scene in the sequence also the responsibility of the director of photography is to put the camera in the different positions that were appropriate to make the overall film to a better standard. I was also appointed the music producer with the influence of my other group members to establish what would make a good soundtrack that could be included within our the thriller sequence that was created.

We all as a group took the roles of MES coordinators and screenplay writers as we all had different ideas that can be included within our thriller sequence for example Devon had the idea of the victim getting followed into the forest and Tom had the idea of the dark clothing for the killer as well as myself had the idea for the hammer used as the item for the killer to chase the victim with. Also every group member had different ideas that were implemented into the sequence as a whole to make the film more efficient and to a higher quality.  

Risk Assessment-Miss Georgiou

Risk Assessment-Miss Georgiou

Why is it important to consider risks before filming?

It is crucial to consider risks before filming because it keeps people aware of what safety procedures to follow when filming. In addition it's important to keep the health of everyone in the group and most importantly the actors potential hazards could include the actors tripping over in the location of the forest so making sure the path is clear is inevitable to prevent this hazard from happening. 

How did the risk assessment assist the group?

The risk assessment helped the group through the process of filming as we made sure we cleared the path from all the leafs and twigs that were on the surface of the forest also it assisted us with trying to stop the hazards from happening. The risk assesment also helped the group in taking care of the camera for example whe filming we made a plan carefully film when the camera is on the tripod and to not walk around with the tripod when the camera is on it.

 

Filming Schedule-Miss Georgiou

Filming Schedule-Miss Georgiou

Why is it important to have a filming schedule?

I believe it is massively important to include a filming schedule as it helps to get everyone who is in the group organised to arrive on the specific meeting point on time also it's important to have one as everyone has a clear idea of when to film as a result the group members will not plan anything else to do on them specific days and ultimately the filming process should if followed correctly speed up the process of filming and having a schedule as it also makes filming easier as well as it makes sure group members will get to the meeting point on time resulting in a much more efficient film when following a schedule. 

Following Schedule/Changes that were made. 

Unfortunately we did not quite manage to follow the specific schedule that was made due to some difficulties upon filming. When first thought out as a group we only put two days aside to complete the task of filming but instead we needed five days. We followed the schedule for the first two days of filming but due to the incomplete film we then had to set another further three days to film this was because we decided to film in a better location to the location that we first filmed in. The first day of filming was successful in the new location but the second day when we were due to film in the forest it was unfortunately too dark to film so we done this scene on the fifth day of filming when the light was okay to film in.

Opening Credits-Miss Georgiou

Opening Credits-Miss Georgiou

The purpose of opening credits in any films is to give the audience the people who are in the films (the actors) and the director who has directed the film also normally the most famous actors will be the starting credits also opening credits can establish the genre of the specific film. The music added within the credit segment build up a considerable amount of suspense and experiences a contrast between good and evil. 

The opening credits in the film Seven are very consistent with the white credits this creates a certain level of enigma and the white credits stand out with the dark background and the seems to be handwritten jerky credits which symbolises fear for the audience. Also the creepy high pitched music within the opening to Seven is very quick which creates dramatic excitement for the audience.  Also the in sync music and the credits at the same time creates a impressive effect for the audience as its a fantastic way to put the credits across to the audience. The credits of Seven also display the quick jerky credits that we as a group feel would benefit our thriller sequence if we influenced this within our own thriller film as this can create numerous different effects for the audience for example an anxiety and uneasy effect for the audience.

The other film I analysed within the thriller genre is Hannibal and from right at the start of the opening credits from this film is displays the use of red which is widely known to represent blood or murder within the thriller genre. Also Hannibal's opening credits are black and white bold credits distinguishes the difference between the killer and the victim. The Hannibal credits are also quite shaky and this displays the sense of fear as you can see the shaky footage from the credits.

Following the group discussion we feel it's best to have bold handwritten font as it creates mystery towards the start of the sequence. The colour of the opening credits will be in a dark red font as it represents blood which is a key theme towards the end of our thriller sequence also it represents danger. The red colour font will extremely stand out when the victims credit appears on the scene as it can show a clear representation of the victim to the audience.
                                                                                                                                                        

Planning Sound-MissMiller

Planning Sound-MissMiller

Sound is important within any film genre. Sound is crucial within the thriller genre as it enhances the suspense and tension within the film also it gets the audience more involved and interested within the film and we aim to use sound to our advantage to make our sequence more intense and suspenseful throughout the duration of the film.

The sound of the phone ringing will be very important within our sequence as it creates the final piece of drama in our sequences do this is also classed as diegetic sound and this fits in with our narrative. The ringing phone will be very effective as it creates a sense of surprise as the audience will not know what has happened to the victim. This will have a dramatic effect on the audience as they will be in a state of shock at the end of the thriller sequence also the ring of the phone is conventional to the thriller genre as it creates suspense as well as other codes and conventions as the audience can tell the victim was killed at the end on the sequence

Another sound effect that will be used within our groups sequence is a quick paced sound track this is non diegetic and is added within the editing stage and the sound track will create excitement and suspense within the viewers watching the sequence also a sound track that is suspenseful allows the audience to give back a response of shock or an emotional response.

The use of on screen sound is influenced within our thriller sequence throughout the film for example the footprints of both characters when walking through the forest on the stones as well as the concrete on the alley way scene and the camera is very likely to pick these things up also it is very realistic as it would happen in any film that is created and the audience would expect the on screen sound to fit in the situation.

To summerise the sound that  is going to be used in our groups thriller sequence

The non-diegetic sound of both the heart beat and the heavy breathing of the victim and the sound of these puts a more dramatic effect on the audience to put across the characters emotions as it will display a petrified effect to the audience as you can clearly see the facial expression on the victim's face. This can connect to the audience because if they were in that situation they would be displaying the same emotions as the character with the quick heart beat and the heavy breathing.

Planning Cinematography-MissMiller

Planning Cinematography-MissMiller

Cinematography is important within the thriller genre as it will determine how each and every camera shot is produced. Cinematography is all about how it can make the audience more interested within the film by the camerawork in addition it explains the narrative in the background and we as a group aim to use a wide variety of camera shots within the thriller sequence.

A key camera shot within our groups thriller film will be the low angle shot as the killer is holding the hammer, this shot will make the killer look far superior that the other character in the sequence it also shows the strength the the character has in the film. In contrast the high angle shot will be themed at the victim to show the weaknesses that the victim possesses.The high angle shot is very stereotypical as it makes the victim look defenceless and exposed at the same time and this shot will mainly be used when her phone is ringing and as she is hiding from the killer to show the victim in the limelight as she cannot defend herself from the killer also the high and low angles shot show the differences in power between the characters.

Another camera shot that we will incorporate within our sequence is the establishing shot and the long shot to highlight the setting and characters in the sequence. The establishing shot will be used at the very start of the film as the victim is getting followed by the killer and we chose to use the establishing shot at this moment of time to get the audience a sense of the surroundings and an idea of what could happen in the film. The establishing shot is conventional to the thriller genre as is explains the narrative and surroundings that is involved within the sequence.

In addition our group will use the close up shot and the extreme close up shot in certain circumstances for example the close up could be used as the killer is hunting down  the victim and it will be used to focus on the intense facial expression that the killer has upon hunting the victim down also the close up is conventional to the thriller genre as the audience has a better understanding of what happens to both the characters also the close up represents suspense and drama at the end of the thriller sequence for the audience it gives them a sense of the characters emotions that are displayed for example when we use the close up shot on the victim is can clearly be shown that she is in a state of danger

Overall the variety of camera shots will extremely enhance how effective our thriller sequence will be in terms of the codes and conventions within the thriller genre for example we aim to provide the viewers with shock,surprise and suspenseful elements which are introduced by the camerawork and inevitably it will make the film the best it can possibly be.

Group Storyboard-MissMiller

Group Storyboard-MissMiller

The purpose of the group storyboard is to gather a final narrative on what to do for the thriller sequence that we are creating. The group storyboard task was to combined three individual storyboard into one final group storyboard also to pick the best parts of each different storyboard.

We incorporated each different idea from my group by first having a 20 minute discussion on our individual storyboard and from this discussion it enabled us to produce and incorporate different scenes from the individual storyboard for example we took Devon's camera shot for the first scene and then we took the narrative description from Tom's storyboard to form a perfect first scene for the thriller sequence. 

From Devon's storyboard we incorporated her mobile phone idea in the ending scenes as the phone rings and the victim struggles to turn off her phone as the victim is hunting her down, we thought as a group this will be a great way of creating suspense and tension from the audience point of view we also took the end scene from Devon's individual storyboard when it just focuses on the phone ringing on the floor this appeals to the audience by the audince wondering where has the victim gone and what has been done to her.

From Tom's storyboard we incorporated the theme of the backstreet as the very start of the sequence. We took the backstreet idea from Tom's storyboard because we feel it would create mystery and shock as the sequnce begins also the backstreet is very conventional to the thriller genre as you do see numourous chase scenes from films that start in an isolated street. Tom's idea of the backstreet was a good way to start the sequence as it creates a level of enigma as the victim cannot see who is behind her as she looks round the corner

The inspirations that we took from famous thirller films were Scream and Halloween we as a group took the idea of a masked killer as we thought it would create shock and mystery to the audience as they wouldn't know who the killer is for the duration of the film also we took inspirations from the strangers as that film uses an hidden secluded area to create tension for the audience as its hard to make out who is in the area at the time.

Finally the group storyboard task has helped us to produce a final plan of how we are going to film each and every scene and how much time we are going to spend on the different scenes also thr storyboard task has enabled our group to plan when and where we are going to film the sequence that will be created.

Character Planning-MissMiller

Character Planning-MissMiller

In our groups thriller sequence it contains two characters. The first character who is thought to be the main character is the Victim and we aimed this specific character to be very stereotypical to the thriller genre. The other character we have in our short thriller sequence is the killer and the theme of this character is to be deranged and to portray a threatening meaning to the audience.

Female Victim

The purpose of the female victim is to portray the effect of vulnerability to the audience through the stereotypical typical blonde female victim. The female will tell a story of how easily it is that a young female could get stalked by someone unknown and what the worst could happen to the female also the victim will display an naive personality as well as an innocent one. This is conventional to the thriller genre as it tells a much different narrative as well as the main narrative. It's conventional to the thriller genre as it's a stereotypical to have a blonde female victim. The audience will be able to have a relationship with the characters as the victim is a typical blonde vicitm that you will be likely to see in any thriller film.

The Killer
The killer is there as the threatening personnel. The killer is the person that ideally contributes the most to the suspense within the film. The killers portrays a level of fear across to the audience as well as clear pure power that it's conventional to the thriller genre to have also in the sequence this character acts as a stalker following this female victim every where she goes. The killer is key to the sequence because it's important how confident the character actually is. The audience can build a relationship with the killer as the killer is tall and has a hammer in his hand which represents the status and power that the character could have.
