Storyline

Storyline

We had a basic storyline for our thriller because we believed that if we executed the simple things well the overall story would be affective and would capture the right shots and perspectives. To make a successful thriller we had a few shots that we had to include to capture the type of story we wanted.

Intro 

We started out with a pan shot that established the location so the viewer knows where we are, also as you look upon the house you are able to see that it is abandoned and there is young girl standing there.

Different shots   

The different shots we went for are varying from; two shots, high angle, low angle, long shot, establishing, but the most affective shot we went for is a two shot. Because we needed to show that the girl is in the house and you can see her, but the victim cannot so it creates an effect of horror.

The house   

One of the main shots we used in the house was when Pearce goes to do his hair in a broken mirror but the girl is in the background. Then we sweep round to where she should be but she’s not there, this we thought was a great shot because this is when you really realise that the girl is in the house.

Also the hand held camera was very affective because it makes the thriller seems a lot more “Real” and could give the affect that it could happen to them. This in the long run will make the viewer seem more scared because in the back of their mind the they still might believe it could happen to them.
