(i) With reference to your study of genre, how useful is it to apply a critical framework to your production work?
(ii) What decisions did you make during the creation of representation in your production work?
The typical conventions for the type of thriller we aimed to produce - psychological thriller - are instead of, as you see in many horrors the way the antagonist tries to kill the protagonist is not through brute force but through cleverness and wit. Also, they protagonist is never just blindly killing the antagonist for no apparent reason, or just because he/she is a murderous psychopath, it is more that the antagonist has some emotional or physical attachment, or they gain something from the protagonists death.
In our thriller, we did incorporate many of these elements, for instance, Thomas does have a emotional attachment to Emile, they are both friends. Additionaly, as Thomas is...
During our thriller project we tried to represent a number of things. Firstly, we attempted to represent the character Emile through the mood of the mise-en-scene. As his character seems to be 'troubled' we decided to set the thriller in a very rainy/damp climate. This also allowed us to keep in the typical conventions of a modern Thriller which are usually suspenseful.
