Before creating our piece we needed to think of what genre to follow. By looking at films that were being released at the moment we looked at the sort of things that weren't that common. This way we could reach a totally different market and create more interesrt.
This is a list of the top five films in the USA Box office beginning the date of April 6-12
1. The Hunger Games
2. American Pie; The Reunion
3. Titanic 3D
4. Wrath of the Titans
5. Mirror Mirror.
From looking at these five different films they all have different genres ranging from romantic films, to family films. There are no thrillers and looking down through the top 20 of this week, there are only very few thrillers. This proves to me that our initial idea of creating a thriller will work. As the market is open it will be easy to create a film the audience want.
When looking at thrillers we have to look out for things like
Dark colours, giving a scary and dark feeling.
Murder or Death, whether the story is about the death or it is involved.
Suspense, giving the viewer more interest in what they are watching.
Fast Paced, action sequences are used.
Psychosis- fear of the unknown.
These are common conventions of a thriller and we will bare this in mind when creating a storyboard for our own film opening.
