My idea
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.
Evaluation- The disadvantages of this narrative is that is doesn't show the groups cinematography. This means we cannot see which camera angles are being used and how it is going to connect with the audience. Also it doesn't show as many conventions to a thriller. The Advantages of this narrative is that it explains the Mise en scene that is being used for example the low key lighting.
Luke Durrance Narrative
In a empty are at night time the longshot shows a group of teenagers that are trying to hurt an old man thats on his own, the camera then shows a close up of the 'villian' in a mask, he is angry at what he is seeing happen to the old man, so as he comes out of the shadows he shouts over to the group of teenagers to stop. The camera shows the reaction of the old man as he is on the floor with tears rolling down his face, the camera then cuts to the leader of the group who is laughing at the 'viliian' who is walking slowly towards them. As the man gets to the group there is silence until the 'villian' shouts at the group of teenagers who are standing there suprised at what is happening, the villian then helps the old man stand up, he then tells him to leave, the man is seen to be limping home as he is holding is arm in pain. Some of the teenagers begin to walk away as they are laughing but the leader of the group stays and the masked villian then whispers to him, 'there will be consequenses'. That is all that is said, he looks scared and he turns away and sprints off, the rest of the group follow him shortly after. There is a longshot that focuses on the masked villian standing on his own in the middle of the street in darkness. The next shot is of an abandoned warehouse, where the masked villan is sitting alone sharpening his saw, the shot after is of the group of teenagers from the previous night, they are all layed on the floor with their mouthes taped shut and their legs and arms tied together, one or two of them are crying. The final shot is of the masked villan slowly walking in their direction, and he whispers in the same teenagers ear, 'what did I tell you'.
Evaluation - The advantages of this narrative are that he explains which cinematography which is going to be used so we can visualise what the narrative will look like so we can see if it is a good idea.
Disadvantages - The disadvantages of this is that is doesn't explain which sound is happening and weather it is diegetic or non diegetic. Also it is too long and isn't conventional.

Harry Hyett Narrative
A secluded location away from the outside world, which is out of the way from help from anyone. Female Victim most likely to be blonde as in my research from conventions they are portrayed as weak because of stereotypes. The female and the masked killer will be around Low Key Lighting as it creates shadows and suspense. Killer can be seen in the distance following the victim but barely seen so that it is not obvious to the victim. Killer comes into focus under a light to create a sudden shock to the audience and disappears quickly again. To create this light from lamppost can be used as they are a light source and shadows to hide the killer. It becomes apparent to the audience what is going to happen as they can see the killer gaining on the victim. The victim can be killed or just knocked out as the killer maybe torturing victims so either a knife to kill or some form of cloth with some liquid to knock the victim out when en-haled. In addition the victim doesn't need to be killed as the ending of the scene could just be a reaction shot. Although its typical of most thriller films for the victim to be killed.
Group Narrative

She walks lonely and fragile in pain as soemthing has happened to her and she appears too be cold and injured. She is walking along with her phone with its bright light illuminating her face. She walks under the deem shawdowed light source of the lamposts, with just the wind brushing past her making her colder. She is encounterned by a man in this distance shouting out to her. He comes face to face with her and asked if she is "okay" he can see by her appearence that she is hurt and in need of help. He turns away for a brief period of time to call help for her and turns back to see her disappered. In shock he hangs up on the phone and looks in the distance in search of the girl. He calls out and looks around but he cannot find her. He walks off trying to forget the situation when out of nowhere the girl appears behind him with a knife and a unseen face and screams out to disappear as he turns around. It keeps happening until she is in front of him and starts to run at him.
This post demonstrates basic planning techniques and this is because you have not evaluated all of the individual narrative ideas from your group members. Also it is difficult to see how you and your group devised the group narrative, where did your narrative and inspirations come from?
ReplyDeleteWithin your group narrative, you need to focus on the role of the target audience and consider how your narrative builds a relationship with your audience. Also aim to include the narrative theory within this post.
