Thriller Ideas

Before strating to plan a plot and storyboard we wrote down all our ideas and thoughts on the genre of thriller and the ideas that we wanted to use.
Firstly we brainstormed all the sub-genres of a thriller, including:

• Action
• Fantasy/Sci-fi
• Psycho
• Crime
• Medical

These are the sub-genres that we prefered to use for our own thriller project, then branched off into ideas for each. For Action we came up with:

• Fast pace
• Weapons
• Cars

Fantasy/Sci-fi:

• Supernatural
• Lots of effects
• Unusal
• Confusing

Psycho:

• Stalker
• Murder/mass murder
• Religion
• Hostage/Kidnap

Medical

• Virus/infection/disease
• Hospital
• Murder of patients

Crime

• Police/detective
• Murder
• Escape
• Stealing/hostages

All of these ideas helped us to decide on our final project which will be based around a medical drama. Using an infection theme, but only introducing the thought of blood shot eyes as part of the infection into our opening scene project.

We made a filming plan for when we start filming in the half term and who is doing what in our group. Also decided on our props, characters and location for all filming so that we are prepared and can get it sorted it quickly when it comes to filming making it easier in the long run.
