Planning:Cinematography.

In the opening scene of our thriller, we will have a wide shot of the storyboard with the back of the antagonist looking up at it. This will allow the audience to make sense of the montage that they will have just seen. The audience will then be able to figure out that the person in the shot has bad intentions. They will also feel afraid of him, even though they do not quite know what his intentions are just yet. This is conventional, because from the outset that audience will fear this person and they will know that something bad is about to happen in the narrative of the movie.

Before the wide shot takes place, the camera will zoom out from one focus on the board, to the whole thing


When the female victim is leaving for the party, there will be a deep focus on her phone that has been left on the dresser. The reason that we have decided to use this is to inform the audience that she has left her phone in her room, as we see her leave in the background. Also, the phone will flash, and a message will be able to be read on the screen. It will be from the boyfriend, telling the victim not to go to the party. The reason we have decided to include this, is to inform the audience that something bad will happen at the party, and it may not be safe for the victim to go. The significance of seeing this, and also seeing the female leave without seeing it, will strike fear into the audience.


In the scene in which the victim arrives at the party, a pan will be used to show the scenery of the house that the party will take place. This will give the audience a chance to see the area surrounding her, as the whole street is really quiet, unresponsive and derelict. This will make the audience scared for the female victim as she probably wouldn't be able to get any help if something was to happen to her. This type of setting is conventional to the thriller genre, because the antagonist normally chooses unknown, empty locations to carry out their dark plans so he or she will not get caught.
