Narrative

Ideas for the narrative of my thriller

A narrative is the story line within the film, it is important for a thriller as the plot opens up in a way that isn't expected.

This is a brief story line to my film if all of it was made:

From all of the the research I have done I have got an idea of the location, lighting, characters and iconography that I should use in my clip. It would be set in an estate with a big field or wod nearby and there is a character who is vulnerable or is being stalked. Walking dog ate night in the woods and there is a dark figure that you see running from tree to tree but you never see him/her. But she is ok then she goes through her day working but there is someone following her but still you never see his face. She starts to creep out as she knows that someone's following her so she invites some of her friends to co e and stay with her. Power goes off and they all get scared the tv turns on but it's fuzzy and makes a loud noise that scares them even more. Then there's a flash of lighting and the killers face appears in the window. So they all run to the top floor and try and call the police but the phone line has been cut and there's a bang which is the front door opening and the killer walks in and straight up the stairs as if he knows where she is hiding but he is shouting there's no where to hide and as he opens the door where they are hiding one of her friends throws something and they get out of the bathroom and they try and run but at the bottom of the stairs there is another man and both killers trap them and torched them until one escapes. The end.

A few of my ideas are from past thriller movies for example the masked men are from the strangers as there is more than one killer who is after the girls and the toucher sequence is from the human centipede as in this film there are 3 people who have been sown together. I will use lighting and sound effects from The Strangers also because my film is based in a similar condition, in a house.

  1. Your individual narrative shows some visualisation of your narrative and this is because you have started to use some of the research that you are previously carried out.

    To make your narrative more detailed, you also need to consider:
    1) the codes and conventions of a thriller film
    2) the representation of your characters
    3) your target audience and how the audience can build a relationship with them
