• The generic thriller conventions used in our film trailer is that we will have our two main characters be partners, both playing the stereotypical roles of a young rookie (who tends to bite off more than they can chew) and an older, more experienced veteran (whose role is the leader and to keep the rookie in check). The main antagonist will be male and will most likely be psychotic. A film that uses these particular conventions is Se7en.
• The
key things for our trailer will be that quick cuts and low key lighting will be
used in order to build tension and make our audience become invested in our
film.
• Later
on in our film one of the protagonists will be outsmarted by our antagonist
(E.g. they will be framed for his crimes), causing conflict between the good
characters.
Film
Trailer – Main Characters:
Peter Stone – A rookie reporter. Gets themselves too involved in solving the series of
murders that are central to the film’s plot. Is young, eager and intelligent
(despite being underestimated). Partner to the Detective.
Detective Maria Jones – The main lead
of the film. Is a seasoned detective who is very independent and incredibly
determined to solve the murders. While initially she and the reporter did not
get along (due to the fact that the reporter was doing his own investigation in
her case, causing her to become irritated) they eventually grow to trust one
another.
Mr Dark Dark – The film’s antagonist. Is cold, calculating and
ruthless. The main theme of his murders is that always leaves one survivor (he
likes to target families) so that they can suffer from survivor’s guilt for the
rest of their lives.
Survivor (female) – A young girl who was left alive by Mr Dark Dark, manages to
escape his clutches in order to contact the police.
We chose to scrap this name for the killer as we considered it to be far too immature for a thriller.
