3. Characters Setting
Lighting
Typography
The anti-hero is conventional to the
thriller genre due to her costume,
hair and makeup and body
language and facial expression. Her
costume is dark and this can
portray her evil presence, the fact
she appears with a very straight and
stern posture may present her as
confident as she knows what she is
doing and could be seeking
revenge. Her facial expression is
very bland and she shows no
emotion at all, this can demonstrate
how serious she is about the goal
she wants to achieve.
The graveyard setting I
used is also very
conventional to the thriller
genre as it represents
death, which is a theme
that regularly is touched
upon in thriller films. I use
this setting to portray the
antagonist possibly leaving
a funeral.
Low key and back lighting
is used in some scenes, this
is mostly when the
antagonist is on the screen
to demonstrate his
darkness and his evil
ambitions. This was also
used to scare the audience
as conventionally low key
lighting is used to create
suspense and mystery
during a scene.
The typography used is
also conventional to a
thriller as the font was
appropriate, due to the
colour of it being very
simple. The white font
over a black
background could
show some light within
a lot of darkness,
possibly giving viewers
an idea into the
narrative as it may not
be always dark.

5. Once the antagonist had left the scene after entering
the house, I used a tilt shot which was delayed to
create suspense and tension for the audience as they
would not have known what to expect. This was an
effective slow reveal of one of the victims which is
conventional to a thriller as tilt shots are usually used
to reveal surprising things to scare the audience.

10. Although not much iconography was used, the phone that the antagonist grabs before
leaving the room served as a distraction for the sudden appearance of the anti-hero,
this piece of iconography may be more relevant during the narrative if the story had
continued as the antagonist did not use his phone.
Conventionally iconography are weapons in thriller films such as guns and knives,
although we did not use these as we did not feel as if they were relevant to the
opening, as well as it would not be subtle to show a murder happening. It was a lot
more effective to create suspense showing the dead bodies rather than the murders
itself.
The antagonists jacket is also a piece of iconography as he takes it before he
leaves the room and the house, it is a dark colour so he does not attract
attention to himself, this is vital for the character as he is trying to mask his
madness as he is a very conservative person.

16. I decided to follow this convention as I felt it
would be the most effective when creating my
thriller, it also worked well with the monotonous
themes I had as the thriller itself is very subtle and
not much is revealed about the story and the
characters, therefore only assumptions can be
made.
