We got our inspiration for the storyline from the film 'Jennifer’s body'. As research I looked into information on the Succubus demon as that is what ‘the girl’ will become processed by. The succubus is a female demon who feeds on men in their dreams. The succubus draws energy from men to sustain its self and is similar to a vampire.
The first scene in our Thriller is an establishing shot, we decided to use this because this shot instantly creates enigma for the audience and sets the scene for the rest of the Thriller. It is also an action before narrative as it shows the ending shot at the beginning.
The second scene jump cuts to a party scene the jump cut mixed with the shock of the loud music should hopefully make the audience jump and become edgy. We will also use dark lighting because it gives it a more thriller effect as people relate the dark to thrillers and something bad happening.
The third scene is a shot of the empty chair in the same room as the beginning with rope and a knife. This shows how it was planned and starts the narrative from the beginning.
The fourth shot is of the girl and her best friend at the party scene - there had to be a shot of them together to show the character relationship. Therefore, the storyline would make more sense and the audience would relate the girl and the best friend to each other - otherwise it would’ve been too random.
The next shot is then a close up (CU) of a phone showing a text message from a mystery person telling the girl to meet them outside; we’ve decided to do this to add tension as the audience doesn’t know who the person sending the text is. It then fades back to the party to show the girl walking outside.
The next shot is of the girl’s best friend trying to push through the crowd to look for the girl this causes tension for the audience, and makes them realise something bad is going to happen. It then fades to black and there will be a scream played over the top.
The next scene then goes back to the room shown at the start and we are going to use a point of view shot (POV) to give the scene more of an intense feel. The man at the beginning then leaves the room and leaves the ‘dead’ girl on the chair; there will be a silent pause so that tension grows for the audience.
The final shot will be of a CU of the girl’s face screaming we have decided to use red contacts to show she is possessed. The cut will also be a jump cut - this will hopefully make the audience jump as it is unexpected.
