Characters.

Emily: Emily is the female character of our film. She is running away from two thuggish males who are after her for a reason unknown to the viewer. She hides in an abandoned building but is discovered and brutally attacked. She is a vulnerable person and is very isolated and alone throughout the clip.

Male 1 and Male 2: We decided not to name either of these characters to emphasise the sense of mystery surrounding them. Both characters are Emily's attackers. Throughout the clip you never get to see either of the characters faces, only their boots and a shaddow of Male 1. We did this because we thought it would give the viewer more to think about when watching our thriller opening.

Thriller proposal.

We have decided upon filming our thriller in the style of a British Gangster. The props, location and costumes used will clarify our chosen sub genre. Our thriller has been influenced by certain other British thriller films. An example of this might be the film 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', our costumes are themed around those in Lock Stock. Another thriller which would be an example of influence could be 'London to Brighton', this is because the story lines have similarities, young women trying to escape from thuggish males. We chose a derelict building to shoot our thriller. We thought it was perfect for what we wanted to achieve. It has the potential for several different and interesting shots. Not only this but it also goes extremely well with our chosen sub genre of thriller film.
