Final Thriller Ideas

Our Idea
Consists of, a hostage being held captive in a dark room, with a swinging light, the captive has a bag over his head and is confused to where he is, a dramatic cut showing the hostage's girlfriend being taken away. Other features we want to include is a flash back of a happy time of the two characters playing snooker, and the sound of the snooker balls smashing will be the the transition between that scene and the current hostages scene. We also want to include the still images of happy times of the couple to use with the dramatic thudding in between changes, as the hostages moves his head back and fourth. 

from 3.50 - 4.02 in this clip you see a set of flashback images of a happy time in the fighters life, we really liked this idea and want to incorporate it in our idea.

Sub genre 
For our final idea, we have decided on the genre of crime thriller.
We've decided this because we think our ideas relate to the crime genre by the use of weapons, and flash backs of chase scenes, common features associated with crime films. 

Fonts, Texts and Graphics 
For the credits of the characters names and actors we want to use bold fonts and fonts that stand out, we also want to put our credits on items in the scene for example showing a bold white font on a card. This would add to the mysterious atmosphere of the piece.  

Location
We have planned to use a garage of a friends for the dark room in the opening scene, we would also film the rest of the shots in this area, using the local sports centre for the snooker table scene. 

Characters
Carl - young man being held hostage for holding a secret, engaged to his former girl friend, leads a pretty ordinary life and works for the CSI. 

Katie- Carl's girlfriend, innocent but used as a threat to Carl if he doesn't tell his secret, he doesn't tell this secret and this results in her dying a tortured death.

Killer- Suited man, mysterious character, nothing much is known about him other than it is his mission to get Carl's secret. 

Costume 
The Hostage: ripped, torn, blood covered white shirt, with suit trousers, black shoes, black bag covering his head. (black room scene) in the snooker scene he would be wearing the same clothes, but not ripped or torn.

The Girlfriend: Casual clothes in the snooker scene, with the prop of the wedding ring, shown in her blood covered hand as she falls to the ground.

The Killer: Dressed in a full, formal suit like a hit man for example





Lighting / Colour / Mood
In the scenes of the capture and death of Katie low, dark lighting will be used, to reflect the mood of the characters.

In the happy flashback scenes brighter lights and colours will be used to reflect the happy mood and lives of the couple and to emphasise the dramatic change in their present situation.

Music and Sound
We are planning to use strong sound effects
