Redrum Productions is not a real production company but during the course of our thriller process we have decided it would a good name for a thriller promoting production company seeing as it spells murder backwards we got the idea of the name from the Shinning. We faded in the titles and we animated them so that the colours separated to create a sense of mystery, we got this idea from Lost. The Titles do not have any capitals giving them a different approach.
This Major Close Up of our main protagonist’s eye gives our film a mystery there is a restricted narrative meaning that neither the audience or the character knows what is going to happen next giving our thriller tension. However the only thing the audience does know is that the main protagonist is not is somewhere good this is shown threw the dark lighting, the eye is distress and the makeup we used made this character look like he has been punched.
This shot is good at showing the distress our main protagonist is in. The makeup shows that our main protagonist has been badly beaten up making him look like a victim. The ripped clothing also shows how he was abducted. Our film is more saw like in the way that we only focus on gore, however, we never show our victims actually being tortured only by using makeup we let our target audience imagine what could of happened, this builds tension.
During the course of our thriller we build tension with our restricted narrative however in this particular shot we lead our audience to the window with a sound we put in (we got the idea of the sound from the Blair Witch Project). By making the main protagonist go to the window we make the audience believe that there is something outside which obviously scares our character because he backs away. However it was a trick to distract the audience from what will actually happen.
In the sequence of our other shots we were leading the audience to believe that our thriller was going to be centred on what was outside of the window, up until this shot the suspense was growing and the thriller was going slowly however suddenly this shot shocks the audience. By using sound effects and white balance and exposure on the shot we make the target audience believe that the light bulb has suddenly exploded however it does not.
After the light exploding our main protagonist falls threw a door and lands into a pitch black room. This shot is when our protagonist finds the torch and shines it on his face to see if it still works. This shot makes our audience sympathetic towards our main protagonist who has a look of horror, terror and confusion on his face. We used the rule of thirds for this shot.
This shot is when our main protagonist shines a torch across a blood covered wall. With this shot we follow the thriller stereotype by showing lots of blood and hand prints on the wall. This wall really shows how people have been tortured and killed. We used fake blood and splattered it around to make it look more realistic and the fake hand was an extra touch
This shot is very important to our thriller because this is the victim who wakes up. The tape on his mouth is very representative for our thriller because our title is called Mute and the point of this is that the victims are mute because out the tape around their mouths. The light shinning on the victims face is the light on the torch which gives a good effect making the rest of the victims face dark and in shadows.
This is the name of our Thriller making this shot important and it follows up from the shot before with the tape making this shot representative. This shot is actually overlaid on top of another shot which is just blackness. The simple title builds more tension making the audience want to know what happens after the titles.
