My thriller movie is about obsession. This is a stereotype of many modern thrillers and I thought it was a good base for my storyline.
The clip begins with a white room, a chair and a person sat on it, with a blank expression. A long shot is used for this.
Then zooming in onto the persons, then a close up on their face, circling them.
The person is preferably a girl.
Then a cut to the opening credits.
Closeups of hands chopping up newspapers and a mess of paper on the floor.
A long shot of a fallen chair with a noose hanging from the ceiling, next to it a large open window. During this sequence the occasional flicker of an eye takes over the screen.
Eventually, you see the girl stand a few feet before the open window, then the eye flickers on screen & she is right before it, then the eye flickers again & she is standing on the ledge about to jump.
There is constant whispering about conspiracies etc in the background of this piece and when she jumps, the whispering stops.
Cut to a shot of her lying on the floor, her face, staring blankly into the camera. The film title flickers on.
Fake blood will be needed here.
The story is of a girl obsessed by conspiracy and murder. A friend was brutally beaten and killed, dreams and flashbacks haunt her for a while, until she takes action. Eventually she gets too caught up in her own world of delusion, her family and friends abandon her, as she turns obsessive. Attempting suicide, convinced the person who killed her friend is after her too, she ends up in an institute.
A lot of the angles & shots in my short film were inspired by the opening credits of SE7EN, because that sequence, drew me in the most. The close-ups, distoritions of the shots & the music, all worked well together.
This film, has you wondering what the person is doing, cutting up books, looking at forms of torture & the bible, before the film begins.
I would like to make my films similar to this, because beggining with what could be an ending, or what could happen half way through the film, keeps the audience wanting to find out what happens. It also gives a clue to what the film is about & adds to the mystery of the film.
