Thriller Conventions

• The crime at the core of our narrative is Stalking which leads to murder.
• We did a close shot of the knife which is used in the murder, this becomes a clue later on.
• There are a lot of enigmas that need to be resolved, such as who are the two characters.
• Our extraordinary situation is that the girl is murdered in an ordinary situation.
• Our film has a theme of voyeurism as Alex plays a pervert who thrives off killing young girls.
• This is our antagonist's flaw as he cannot help but kill young girls that he likes the look of.
• We have a scene in which the protagonist is in peril and the last one when we see her dead.

To prepare for our thriller opening project we watched an opening sequence from a famous film. Our film was 'The silence of the lambs'.

The opening sequence was approximately five minutes and most of it was of a woman on an assault course in a forest.
