Research and Planning

Above is a disgram of me and my groups brainstorm for our thriller opening. Our subgenre and ideas that each group member has contributed to is on this diagram as well as a mini image of what we imagine our antagonist to be doing (staring at a fuzzy TV). In the top left, we have included the possible genres that our film could be as well as the types of films that are categorised in these genres.

The main plot of our film is the main character being the antagonist who has psychological problems. He is on his own and is a lonely character who is extremely attracted to cutting of the hair of the victims he has killed. He is a wanted man due to the fact that he is a serial killer. We have chosen to create a psychological thriller and the main conventions of this is danger on a mental level rather than a physical level and one solitary character in mental conflict with their own mind. The two will be evident in our opening because the antagonist has metal conflict with his mind and the danger he poses is on a mental level.
