The Rationale Behind our Thriller Idea

Our thriller idea is designed to surprise the audience with the death of the main protagonist; it gives the film an opportunity to continue the film of the protagonist’s death. The film takes influence heavily from the work of Quentin Tarantino. This is through the ironic shift in mood from the use of a major music from the minor music creating a pulse to the film. The major music we will be using for the film was also inspired by Christopher Nolan’s Inception, which works with our ambitions to create a film set in France 1956. The following image is of the torture scene in Reservoir Dogs whilst the song 'Stuck in the middle with you' plays over in the background.

In terms of shot choices we will be shooting we have some point of view shots that we will include of the strangulation scene, which gives us perspective of the character, this is inspired by Phone Booth as it constantly gives the audience the perspective of the killer which automatically creates tension. The shots will include high angle shots to give the impression to the audience that the protagonist will be killed.

The overall effect we will try and pursue is to build up tension until the strangulation occurs. This climactic moment in the film will be far more intense due to the different shots we will try and incorporate to the shoot.
