Ideas Stage/Mission Statements - Thriller Film


- Initial ideas for film:

Idea 1: Man running down a road, away from something. Empty. Thinks he’s getting chased, but he isn’t actually. Police shows him CCTV of him not being chased, could be a massive conspiracy.



Idea 2: Man in suit walking down a corridor. Bangs into a room and starts searching. Another man in a chair and a woman in another on the other side of the room. After a clear messy search the angry man leaves. The man in the chair says “so where did you hide it?” and the young woman, smoking, just smiles.




Idea 3.1: Young people robbing an office, running out, one falls over, they all split up and run separate ways. The young one who fell over hides in the shadows. Phone starts vibrating; “Mum” comes up on the screen. A hand slides round the youth’s mouth and he drops the phone. The phone had been answered, lays on the floor with a faint voice calling out to the owner.







Idea 3.2: FINAL – “Gangsta’s” robbing an old man’s house, but he returns home and they run off except one is left there and gets caught inside the house with the old man, who is a “crazy killer”.

- Films that have influenced your group:

1. KiDULTHOOD – Young teenagers, Gangster lifestyle, violence.
2. Layer Cake – Shot types (close up, mid-shot), Watching a particular character (young teen) and following him through the start, Location (urban city landscape), Shots fading out.
3. Sin City – Sound effects (siren’s in the background), Location (urban city landscape), Weather (Raining).

- What kind of thriller do you want to make, Genre, Style:

Genre: This film will have a few sub genre’s including; thriller suspense and crime thriller.
Style: The style of the film will be modern “Gangsta”.

- What are you trying to achieve? Themes or ideas you want to explore:

We would like our introduction to capture the audience’s interests and attention, so that it draws them into watching the whole film with interest. We want to explore the “Gangsta” theme along with the innocence of your childhood/teenage years, by showing how a young smart innocent teenager can have their life turned around, and become a bad teen/villain, just by the people who he/she hangs out with.
