Shooting Script

To create tension we have kept dialogue to a minimum, which can be replaced by silence and tense music, this also helps to keep the storyline mysterious to grip the audience

The only dialogue we have decided to use is 'help, somebody please!', this is because we wanted to show the audience the characters distress, portraying that something bad had just happened.

Character Analysis

Main Character

Suzie is 25 and she lives in a small town in the country. She is an ordinary girl with an ordinary life. She's a receptionist. She has lived a sheltered life and the situation brought upon her sends her over the edge. She is paranoid and edgy.

Villain

The villain remains nameless and mysterious and he does not reveal his identity until the very end. He is very manipulative and clever. The way he's presented shows that he thinks his plan through in great detail.

The villains first victim

Amber is about 35 and appears very similar to Suzie, which shows that the villain picks his targets carefully; weak and easily lead. However when Suzie and Amber finally meet we see that Amber is fragile and destined for revenge.

Influences and Inspirations

Why we chose the genre thriller?


We chose the genre thriller as we have both watched a lot of thriller films and we really liked the tension that these films create. We both decided that this genre would work well as we have previously discussed the codes and conventions of this genre and thought that we knew it enough to use thriller. The films listed below are our inspiration as in our film we have twists, unexpected events and lots of dark things will occur as does the following...



Shutter Island


Shutter Island is about a U.S marshall called Teddy Daniels who has come to Shutter Island to investigate the disappearance of a murderer. She has escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane and is thought to be hiding nearby. Little did he know that some of his past will be revealed and painful memories will be remembered.




Black Swan



A ballet dancer wins her dream, the lead in 'Swan Lake' however she is perfect as the role of the innocent White Swan but cannot seem to get to grips with the Black Swan. Until she begins to slowly lose her mind and lose control of herself and reality, she then begins to become more like the Black Swan. 

Valkyrie

Valkyrie is set in Nazi Germany during WW2, German officers, and generals take matters into their own hands as they forsee the loss of the war while Hitler is in charge. Along with some accomplisses Colonel Claus von Satuffenberg, devises a plan: operation Valkyrie in which, their mission is to kill their leader: Hitler.





Phonebooth

Stuart Shepard finds himself trapped in a phone booth, pinned down by an extortionist's sniper rifle.
We think that Phonebooth is our biggest inspiration as in the film he is trapped by somebody who is out to kill him, however he does not know who the killer is. In our film we also have a mysterious killer who sends letters to people to get them to do their dirty deeds, but he is also unknown.
