Detjona Borizani researched thriller movies featuring children to help structure their student video project. Suspense is key and can be created through music and lighting choices. Props like school uniforms and backpacks can make the children more believable. Dialogue topics for 9-year-olds include friends, games, and school bullying. The group plans to portray two children, a boy and girl, to show their relationship and make the audience connect with them.

1. Subject Matter Detjona Borizani
Me and my group have decided to base our clip on children. So I have researched the
history of thriller movies with children in them and I will be discussing how we can use
their structure to help us decide on how to set out our video.
So the first and most important thing I researched was what is needed to make a good
thriller movie that will sell. What I found out was that in a thriller you must have
suspense. To create suspense you can use different methods starting from the music
that is used within a scene to lighting. Music plays a big part as if you chose the wrong
track the scene will have no effect on the audience and it will not correspond with the
rest of the film. Depending on the scene you have to decide on what type of music for
example the genre and the tone of the track has to fit the scene. Lighting also plays a
big part in creating suspense. If for example you're aiming for a very dark and
dangerous scene you would use dark colours or setting and you would use very fiery
colours to show that the character is angry it dangerous moments.
In order to make our clip look more realistic we have to include things such as props to
make the child look like a child. Some of the things I found were school bags are the
main prop to make them look like kids. Then comes uniform. Another thing that is very
vital is a scene in a school. This will show that the child is in school and that they might
be getting bullied or whatever you want to portray.
Script is also very important as if you have a child talking about politics then it doesn't
sound right. So I found out what 9 year olds like to talk about most. My research shows
that most of the time they talk about boys/girls, super heroes, games and friendship.
What we need to do is fit those conversations into our clip to make our child look
normal. For example in Let Me In the girl talks to the boy about school and how he's
being bullied. This is a prime example of what we might want to include in our work.
In conclusion I think that the way you portray characters and settings have a big part to
play in how effective your thriller will be. For our group I have suggested that we use
two children one boy and one girl. This will help the audience to understand them more
and it will also show a relationship between the two which will be very strong.
