Before we carried on developing our idea i wanted to find out a bit more about the typical conventions of a thriller.
After doing some research i have found that the main conventions of a thriller are to do with sound, lighting and editing. The editing consists of quick cuts and varied camera angles to create atmosphere and a distorted feeling. The music is usually very creepy and discordant and the lighting is usually used to create shadows and darkness.
I am considering how we can use these conventions in our sequence and I think that the uneasy camera angles are particularly important.
Another typical convention of a thriller is the use of flashbacks and point of view shots. I like the idea of point of view shots as they help the audience to feel for the character but i think for our 2 minute sequence flashbacks will be to difficult to do successfully and without confusing our audience!
