Horror Thriller – First ideas
Setting/Location
o Woods – evening, not too dark
o Abandoned house
o Field
Plot
o Someone being followed
o Murder
o Hiding from something
Narrative
o Screenplay/screenwriting
Characters/representations
o The protagonist – represented as
weak/vulnerable/nervous/scared
o The antagonist – represented as shady/suspicious
Sound
o Diegetic – trees blowing in the wind/potentially birds
o Sound effect – snapping of twig on ground when someone stands
on it – close up shot
o Discordant – uncomfortable music in the background – makes the
viewer feel tension/helps build tension and suspense
Camera shots/types
o Close up – on twig on ground, someone walks over and snaps it –
shallow focus
o Establishing shot – show setting
o Mid-shot – Show expression of the character that is targeted
o Low angle – low angle on the antagonist to show the power of the
character
o Tilt shot – looking at a footpath, protagonist walks past camera
looking behind as he does so – shows the nervousness of the
character
o Ellipsis – antagonist walks towards camera from long distance,
cuts to not far away from the camera, then cuts to the character
walking past the character – shortens time
Iconography
o Low lighting
o Tension building music
