Storyboard for our thriller

When we  finally finished our story board  we had to create a animative this is taking and putting together the pictures of each shot drawn and talking about what is to happen in storyboard, this is something that i did by my self.This is our Story Board animative this shows our final idea this is how our original shot list was going to go. It includes the description of the shot and my drawings in the shot boxes.

Title:
Memories (working)

Tag Line:
 One man’s destruction is another’s retribution.

Synopsis:
A man re-lives the tortured past of his childhood, where he received abuse through harmful and damaging relationships. This treatment has caused him to seek revenge on anyone and anything with no moral values or consequences as he has never been taught right from wrong and cannot comprehend his actions. However he is a clever individual driven by conflicting emotions of love and hate, this causes him to formulate a plan of destruction and hopefully retribution.

Key Genre Conventions:
Red Herring-the woman in the toilet, she isn’t all she appears to be.
Action-the action comes as a surprise but it will be constant throughout the film.
MacGuffin-he seems driven by violence and revenge but he is really driven by love.

Key Thriller Conventions: from my own research

In todays lesson we were told to remember and note down the characteristics weve seen in the thrillers weve watched so far.
These were the most popular suggestions we came up with:
  • MacGuffin
  • Red Herring
  • Fast paced action
  • Chase scene: this scene is normally completed with Running or Driving away in a fast pace
  • Cliffhangers 
  • suspense 
  • Hero 
  • Villain >generallypowerful >genrally wants revenge
  • Femme Fatale > Most likely an young attractive woman
  • love intrest
  • Alcoholism: recreational >for the uses of desirable code names = 007.or an problem something that is against the hero
  • Hero has a weakness
  • There is a deadline to the threat
  • There is a problem to be solved
  • Scene settings: Tense settings are normally at Night which leads to having shadows and it being dark
  • The hero will have obstacles to face
  • Music is very important to a scene or generally the whole film: Diegetic >Undiegetic
  • Enigma
  • Subgenre
  • Death, there is normally the death of  an aquintance of the hero this could also be a obstacles
  • Injustice on the villains behalf
  • Unrealistic
  • Thrillers are normally quite short
