2. My Thriller
• Our thriller is a physiological thriller about
about a couple backpacking though Siberia.
They are ambushed by a couple of etreamists.
What makers our thriller different is the fact
that it was all filmed from under the bed in
the couples room, so you almost feel like part
of the scene.
3. Similar films
• There are many other films which bare
similarities to our thriller such as taken.
• In particular the moment where the daughter
is hiding under the bed & caller her dad
before she is kidnapped.
• There are high levels of tension and
anticipation in both Taken and our thriller.
5. Similar television shows
• A television show with a similar scene is
Grey’s Anatomy (season 6, Episode 23) the
hospital shooting where one of the nurses
(Bailey) hides under the bed while the
Surgeon hides in the cupboard. The shooter
finds him and shoots him. This is very similar
to out thriller particularly the moment when
the couple look at each other before he
(David) is shot.
7. Similar television shows
• Another TV show with a similar scene is
American Horror Story (Season 1, Episode 6).
In a flash back one of the Characters (Tate) is
carrying out a school shooting. There are
some people who hide in the library and there
are lots of shots of them hiding under desks.
You can see them trying to communicate to
one another as Tate’s feet can be seen
walking around the room.
9. Our Characters
• In our Thriller we had two main Characters:
• David (a strong male)
• Ella (a passive female)
• Both are somewhat true to the stereotypes of
males and females.
10. David
• As a strong male who is trying to defend Ella,
David is similar to many other male
characters in films such as Eggsy from
Kingsman: a secret service as he saves the
world.
• A male lead who juxtaposes David’s characters
is Jonathan Carnahan from The Mummy.
Jonathan tries at all costs to avoid conflict and
is very happy to let others fight while he
escapes.
11. Ella
• In our scene Ella could be viewed as a classic
“damsel in distress” which makes her similar to
Prim in The Hunger Games as she waits to be
saved by those around her.
• However it is far more common in modern films
and TV shows to have the women as a/her own
hero such as Roxy from Kingsman: a secret
service as she earns her place in the “Kingsman”
against all the males characters and her role
doesn’t rely on a male to do so for her .
