Initial Ideas
In my group, we have 3 members meaning 3 of us had different ideas to what our opening to a thriller could have and also what the narrative was about. Even though our ideas are quite different, there are a couple of similarities like with the antagonists and what they look like and portray themselves.
IDEA 1!
Narrative: girl being interviewed by the police, she killed both her parents.
Sub-Genre: crime-thriller.
MES: White room (police station for the interview room). Bedroom (for killing).
Characters: 2 police officers, teenage girl, parents.
IDEA 2!
Narrative: crime scene, someone's dead, eye witness cant explain what they saw? mental person, schizophrenia, controls him.
Title: the unknown.
Sub-Genre: psychological/crime thriller.
Characters: victims/antagonist, no protagonist, maybe the police?
Narrative Structure: Aristotle, importance of plot structure, arouse emotion, within tragedy.
MES: forest, abandoned places, dark, blood, knifes, tools, low-key lighting, back lighting.
IDEA 3!
Narrative: a young girl who loses her way in life and ends up spiritually possessed.
Title: the red flag.
Sub-Genre: psychological thriller.
Characters: female victim, children, crazy man, police.
MES: urban setting, city, flashing lights, dark, leather clothing.
In conclusion, this has helped us all as we discussed each others ideas and plotted each idea out to see what works well and what doesn't. Then we linked them to see what works with each other and what could make a unique thriller within the 3 ideas. This has helped us create our final idea.
Each group idea briefly discussed and some discussion on how this planning has been beneficial.
