Individual ideas for a narrative - Miss Georgiou
My idea for my thriller scene
Its late at night and a little girl around 10 years old is playing with her dolly's in her bedroom. The lighting is low key and her room is set in an old fashion room. She hears someone singing downstairs so she goes downstairs to see what it is. We see a close up of her face and see her slowly walking down the stairs and see how nervous she is as she is trembly. Scary non diagetic soundtrack playing in the background as she is walking down the stairs to create suspense and build tension. As she reaches the bottom of the stairs we see the hallway and the chandelier is swinging. We hear the diagetic sound of her footsteps and the floor squeaking as she walks along. The sound of someone singing varys in sound goes loud and quiet. She walks into the kitchen and in the corner of her eye sees a scary little girl in a white long night gown who is quite dirty and is singing and crying. She slowly walks over to the little girl and the background soundtrack starts to get faster and louder. As she reaches the crying female actress she puts her hand out to touch her. As she does the music stops and the crying girl looks up and we see an extreme close up of her face as she screams.The use of the convention of a young female victim is also used as it shows how vulnerable they are and that they are an easy target. My film inspirations are from the thriller 'Mama' as it uses the idea of children. Also from the Amityville horror as they use the idea of little girls being haunted.

Your individual narrative idea demonstrates a good understanding of what an opening sequence should include. You have considered some of the conventions of a thriller that you would like to include, but you also need to explain how your narrative appeals to an audience.
ReplyDeleteAlso you still need to include your film inspirations
