I think these locations, though they're simple, are perfect for a thriller at night and possible in the day time if at the right pace. They display generic thriller conventions because they are claustrophobic, unoccupied often, and very intimidating with the right lighting.
The underpass scenes in Fabrice Gobert's "The Returned" is where this man has attacks his victims, and further explains visually why it's a good thrilling location. It's narrow and claustrophobic where very dodgy things can occur.
The following images were inspired by "The Returned".
The main character looking out the bus window as the bus drives away would be a great tension moment to really grab the audience, and also a possible cliff hanger.
These streets are by my house, but this setting can be found pretty much anywhere at night.
Splendid shots and a strong start to your planning. In order to raise your grade you need to evaluate these shots and explain how they reflect aspects of the thriller genre.
ReplyDeleteFor higher grades in all aspects of planning reference similar screen shots or clips from real films/TV dramas that have inspired your ideas.
At present Level 2 because you have not linked these shots generically nor to similar texts. Think about lighting, locations, camera angles and films that use similar conventions.
