Individual Storyboard

My individual story board reflects what i think would be an ideal opening scene to a thriller film.

The conventions of a thriller film are being followed in my story board, the dark landscape covered in trees is perfect for scary things to happen. The long sweeping shots of the forest will build tension for the audience and allow them to picture a small girl running through the woods where no-one will be able to find her.

 Dark, lonely places like this are very conventional to thriller because it makes the thriller more suspenseful as a dark, empty place could he hiding any number of dangers. 

The dark abandoned room is another key convention of a thriller film, it follows the enigma of a thriller because it is an unknown scary place in which a young female victim would be trapped in and tortured by a tall mysterious man. All these features in my story board follow the conventions of a thriller and will have the best impact on any audience. Furthermore they instantly feels sympathy for the vulnerable female character which leads them to fear the antagonist even more as they worry about the fate of the victim. 

I also chose to use low key lighting because most thriller films are set at night in darkness, which creates mystery, fear and suspense. The iconogrpahy I chose is also very conventional of a modern thriller. Knifes ropes and all types of weapons impact an audience and look dangerous as scary, building up suspense and a sense of foreboding as the male antagonist is in power. The use of the iconogrpahy used in the opening scene will cereate fear and suspense from the audience which is soemthing that the audience would expect to see in a thriller.

The more conventions i include the more successful the thriller will be. After this my group looked at each story board and decided which features we would like to include to make our thriller the best it possibly can be.
