Thriller Planning
Myself, Luke and Holly have decided base our thriller film around someone getting followed and to a certain extent stalked creating suspense and then eventually leading to a cliff hanging conclusion. Our thriller film consists of three main characters, Character A being the person who is being followed/stalked, character B being the follower and character C being a civilian who suspects something suspicious and tries to aid the girl being stalked. (We are yet to generate names for our characters).
Throughout our thriller film we use a number of varied locations around Norwich, these include St. Stephens underpass, Anglia Square, and St James's hill. Our thriller film starts off with an over the shoulder shot of character B following character A through the underpass, we have chosen to do this because it is a confined suspense and creates a sense of claustraphobia and giving character A no place to escape from her follower. The over the shoulder shot is perfect because it implies that she is being followed which she is. The shot then moves to Anglia Square, where the majority of our shooting will be done. In Anglia Square there are a number of useful, derelic buildings and we use these in our shooting. By this point the girl has suspected something unsusual about her situation and has purposely taken a different route home in order to loose her stalker, she realises her plan isnt working so takes another option and enters an abandoned car park in Anglia Square hoping she is not followed in there, a nearby civilian see's that this girl is being followed and decides to step in so follows them both to check what is going on.
The girl enters the lift in order to escape and takes it to the very top of the car park, this way she can get a clear view of her surroundings and possibly locate her stalker. As she is looking out she hears the opening of the lift doors, fearing the worst she believes it could be her stalker but she is wrong as she goes over she finds a dead body of the civilian trying to help her. But there is something unusual about the body, attatched to it, is a note saying 'run' and then the girl realises that this man is very dangerous, at this point we still dont know who this man is. She flees Anglia Square and reaches St James's hill (city view) up here she has a wide view of the city skyline and as shes looking out of the city we bring in an over the shoulder shot of a hand reasting on the girls shoulder and she turns around in fright, we end the filming and leave it as a cliff hanger.
