Our thriller film "Psychosis" follows the conventions of the genre. It tells the story of a girl with a mental disorder that causes her to lose touch with reality and feel no emotion, which she uses as a weapon. The film emphasizes her condition through its title and by making it the main plot device. It includes protagonists and side characters, and dresses the main character in normal clothes to show her disease is internal rather than external. The film also uses a weapon and an attempted murder scene to build tension and create tension, typical of the thriller genre. A unique aspect is its focus on a mental illness rather than supernatural elements or "crazy murderous" people.

1. Our thriller is called ‘Psychosis’ and it follows the normal
codes and conventions of a thriller. It follows with a story of
a girl with a mental disorder that makes her self unable to
connect with reality and lacks emotion towards others
which is used as a weapon in the film. This is used as not
only the main plot device but the title to put emphasis on the
condition.
It also follows the normal codes and conventions of a thriller
as it has a main protagonist and side characters as well. We
had the main character Codi dressed also in normal attire as
tis makes her seem more natural and innocent and can
convey the message that her disease is internal and not
external.

2. In our thriller is a weapon which then is used to hurt
and try to damage Nick in the thriller. This also follows
the stereotypical version of a thriller as it uses a primary
weapon as a choice for the story. The weapon is used as
a from of violence in the thriller to create tension in the
film.
A unique piece about our thriller is that is based on
a mental disorder. Although some have occurred
before it bases it around the disease a lot more
rather than just broad crazy people that are
murderous or jump scares using the supernatural in
the story. This can challenge newer types of media
putting more emphasis on illnesses rather than
some form of fiction.

3. It also follows a thrillers codes and conventions by having
an action scene which Is Nick's attempted murder. This
helps build tension in the film and can also create grief to a
characters loss. This helps keep the audience interested
and on edge in the film which is primary message of a
thriller.
The setting we went for was a suburban alley way in
which we could film. We had also used the street
next to the alley way to extend our range and create
a different scene for the film. The alley way was used
to create the atmosphere and have a restricted view
on the situation and it makes the attack purposely
there to conceal him away form the public.

4. We had used many props to help us with the
filming such as the Swiss army knife and phones to
help the story and develop it further. The text
messages are used to create further mystery for the
story and is used to draw in the interest of the
audience. This can help draw people in further and
will allow us to further develop the characters for
the film. The text message is the end scene which
can further create tension and mystery for the
thriller.
