My group consists of me, Cara Jackson and Emma Allen
My views:
- suicide
-flash backs
-stalking
-plot twist, decides against suicide due to kind old women
-kind old women dies, clip ends, enigma
Cara's views:
- hidden identity
- we see the antagonist
- stabbing
- cliff hanger
- psychopath
- bad childhood
- dark/deserted setting
- the killer those closest to her
- left on her own, sympathy, enigma
Advantages - This narrative was key to our enigmatic theme vital to an opening sequence. It is also very conventional to a thriller, complying to the various requirements needed for the genre.
Disadvantages - The disadvantages of the plot is that it may be too complex for an opening sequence, giving too much away for the film itself. It is more like a film trailer.
Emma's views:
Final narrative:
- suicide
- main scene, about to commit, bridge
- flashbacks, stalking, outside victims house, in school, stalks family
- plot twist, decides against suicide
- ends with a death, leaves an enigma
Advantages - Very well structured, highly suitable for a opening sequence. This is due to the fact that the narrative leaves the audience on a cliff hanger and sets out the plot for the rest of the film. It is clear for the audience and not too complex, plus very conventional to a thriller due to the focal point of death.
disadvantages - The plot may also be seen as too complex having too much happening for an opening sequence.
Our group narrative will include an antagonist, a victim and a protagonist creating typical conventions of a thriller. The victim is first seen as committing suicide, this shows death and negativity towards the start of the clip. This is shown in the present time. Next we see flashbacks into her past, these flashbacks will show why she is going to commit suicide. They will include the antagonist stalking the victim both outside her house and on the way home from school. She becomes paranoid and extremely frightned this is shown as she gets terrified from just an innocent runner running past her on the way home from school. This is all flashbacks and forces her into the present time period where she is about to commit suicide. At the end of the clip, however, there is a plot twist. Before she is about to die a women comes along, a kind looking women, she helps the young girl to walk away and change her mind on her death. The women is then killed by the stalker, the clip will then end and the audience is left with an enigma. This enigma is kept throughout the clip as we wll use a hidden identity for the antagonist.
Narrative theory - My narrative follows the idea of tTodorov with the use of equilibrium and disequalibriums. We start with the victim about to die; this being a state of equilibrium, we then go to the victim deciding against suicide; this being a disequilibrium. Lastly we finish with a disequilibrium as the protagonist dies and the victim is left vulnerable. The set out of this clip is different to Todorov's idea of a happy state, turnung to a negative struggle then ending with an equilibrium; however, we have done this to a great effect. We have done this to create confusion for the reader and elaborate on the sense of surpise. This being a key convention to a thriller.
Summery - My thriller is very conventional, it will include a typical female victim used in most thrillers. This creates sympathy and we feel emphasised shock and suspense when she is vulnerable. We also see death and a male angtagonist being ver orthodox to a thriller. The sense of shock is portrayed through the sudden death of our protagonist. Also the sense of surprise is shown through the diferent plot we have during our clip. We will create a large amount of suspense through building an enigam. This is vital for a thriller film and will be done through a lot twist and the use of hidden identity for the stalker.
