1. A thriller short film by KianWhinn

2.  After a long day at college, Azura goes home to find her door
open. She walks in to find her house dark and quiet with no
sign of her mother, her kitchen all messy as though looks like
there has been a struggle, and a lifeless body, led on the
front room floor.

3.  Azura – Main Protagonist, owner of house.
 David – Reliable best friend.
 Dean –The violent, drunk man.

4.  My target audience will be 15-21, aimed mainly at the
teenagers 15 or over up until being a young adult.This is
because I want to target a young audience and since my
short film will have a BBFC rating of 15 I must make sure I
have some of the things involved that make it a 15.
 The things included to make it a 15 will include: strong
language, violence and threat.

5. Editing Sound Camera Mise en Scene Narrative
Fast cuts Silence Tilt shots or otherwise
disorientating angles and shots
to create discomfort within the
viewer
Antagonist wear dark or black
clothing
The aim is to create suspense
and excitement for the
audience
Long scenes to build suspense. Begins with a slow tempo Close-ups and extreme close-
ups of the protagonist
Blood or violence Violence is often a key theme
within thriller films
Slow or eerie music in order to
create suspense or uncertainty
High angle shots to show the a
character's dominance over
another character, usually the
antagonist over the protagonist
Guns, knives, weapons, etc. There is usually a protagonist
who is rather immoral or an
outsider, perhaps an anti hero-
but usually has good intentions
Heightened diegetic sounds
such as a door creaking
Tracks and pans Low-key lighting to create an
atmosphere of suspense or
gloom
Movies typically begin with
equilibrium and through the
course of the film, the
equilibrium is disrupted and
then restored by the
protagonist. Thrillers often
begin with an unjust society,
which the protagonist works
against
Dark colour palette
Settings include isolated places
such as a haunted house or an
alleyway
Proxemics utilised in order to
simulate claustrophobia
