Planning:Opening scene narration

OPENING SCNEN NARRATION:

Our opening scene is of the thriller genre, that is based on a psychological element(sub-genre).

In the narrative, a girl will be going back home appearing to have a normal day(to the audience).There will be a lot of use of cinematography, as different film shots will be on the girl as she is walking home. As well as the sound which will be natural, with the sounds of shoes and wind when she is walking home.

The use of iconography will occur, when the girl arrives home. The girl enters house, that is in a Isolated street. At this point, she is the only person in the house. The audience would feel tension, for it is conventional in a thriller for a suspected female victim to be home alone, before harm comes to gher. So far, a realistic element has been shown portrayed in this 2 minute thriller opening. When the girl goes to bed, the audience will realise that she has dumped her boyfriend through a phone text, texting "It's over". A extreme close up shot will be shown of the phone text, to make more tension amongst the audience for the girl's safety.

Afterwards, the female character goes to bed, she then wakes up for a drink of water, in her kitchen. But as she takes her glass, she sees a haunting figure staring straight at her, this causes her to scream and drop her glass.When the glass drops, the girl wakes up and realises it was a dream to her relief and there will be less tension amongst the audience at this point feeling that the girl will be safe. Suddenly, the same haunting figure appears right in her bedroom making her scream fo her life... Lowkey lighting will be used on the haunting figure to make it more intimidating to the audience.

The audience would be terrified for nthe character as they will not view the continuation. The audience will also suspect the boyfriend she dumped, for there is no other logical reason for the girl to be suddenly tormented.

  1. A good description of the scene which is more evidence of planning.

    To improve;
    -how will the use of iconogrpahy occure that you mention in the second paragraph?
    -I think you need to add more to this scene to develop a greater response from your audience
    -also, think whether this will fulfill your 2 minutes
