Initial Thriller ideas

- Our initial idea for the name of our thriller is 'The Following'. This creates a lot of mystery and unanswered questions straight away as the viewer is left thinking about who is being followed and why.

Mise-en-scene
- Our ideas for mise-en-scene include a graveyard, a forest and a girl walking in heels. The forest and graveyard are dark, scary places which instantly create tension.

Sound
- The first idea we had for sound was children's music over a scary scene. This is a juxtaposition which can disturb the viewer and make them feel uneasy.
- We also thought about using noises of chains as they could be associated with crime.
- Screaming, breathing and laughing could also be used to create tension. Screaming and heavy breathing are linked to thriller films and instantly put bad imaged in the viewers head. Laughing over a scary scene is also a juxtaposition and can make the viewer feel unease.

Camera work
- Tracking shot of the girl in the forest.
- A hand held camera shot from a characters point of view engages the viewer and makes them feel involved in the film.

Editing
- Lots of quick cuts will be used to create tension.
- Cuts from the film to writing.
