Presenting the thriller pitch

Because 3/4 members of my group was abscent in the lesson before, we was unable to build a plan to our thriller. Thus, within our double lesson we spent the first half brain storming ideas.

we had discussed what our audience should be; i proposed that because all successful thrillers are films in which their audiences can accurately and efficeintly relate to in our to be able to be drawn into their worlds, if you will, and consequently i proposed the initial idea that we should depict our thriller about someone watching a film. This of course would be a basic narrative. We took this idea of having a very relatable plot and put it with the thriller plot we decided upon.

the plot is that a girl wakes up, obviously startled. the first shot will be a POV and then she will explore the mysterious room that she is being kept in.

As the opening unfolds there are glimpses or flashbacks portraying her life prior to this event- in each shot there is a figure in the background that most importantly stays unrevealed and does not draw attention.

eventually the girl investigates a shrine of sorts in the room and begins interrogatingly observing the photos in which makes it evident that she had been followed.

As she finds the door, she puts her head against the door to listen if anyone was on the outside. Unbeknownst to her, her stalker stands bizarrely on the other side



this was our developed storyline from our initial idea.

our initial idea was scarcely the same plot however, it was far too extended.

instead of being within only one room, she was in a complex, the opening would feature three rooms, one of which is in a flash back. And instead of the stalker being revealed at the very end..he is a recurring character throughout. watching her from windows for example.


Our main camera angle will be OSS because this connotes the same feeling and message we wish to be in our thiller- the feeling of being watched.

I believe we should have at least one unusually unique shot angle however the overall shot angle variety shall stay mundane or rather, conventional as an unusual angles may effectively split the audiences focus.

I have also decided that our credits could be portrayed on the photos rather than being done on the editting session.
