Inspirations - Miss Miller

The important of inspirations are so that you can view other peoples ideas and see what they have  have thought of and how they have used them to create new ideas to make our own thriller and to make it the best as possible. We can take inspirations from almost anything such as photos, clothing,books other movies etc. For our thriller we have took our inspiration from the movie the Orphan. This is as our blonde female character is an abandoned orphan. We liked this idea as it is an unusual idea that you don't see in most movies.

In my other research of the thriller genre I have watched different thriller clips and taken inspirations from different ones.

Se7en -  In the opening credits on the film se7en we used inspirations of the low key lighting and the hidden identity. These are two conventions of the thriller genre which we will also include in our thriller. We use low key lighting the whole way through the opening sequence as it builds fear and tension as the audience cannot see what is happening in the distance. We also use a hidden identity when we are first introduced to the little girl and the man as it creates a sense of enigma and we do not no what to expect.

The orphan - We also watched the final scene of the film orphan. This is were we got many of our inspirations from including the main character. This is where we got the idea of our character to be an orphan as they are very unusual which makes them mysterious and unpredictable. We also had inspirations from which weapons were used. Like in the orphan they used a knife we also decided to use knife. This is as it makes the audience anxious when they see the weapon which will lead to tension which will make our opening scene more interesting for the audience.
