What is a Drama/Thriller?
We have chosen to base our final product around a combination of a drama and thriller genre. The story line revolves around a female character who’s life has been a series of changes and readjustments, she’s had to face moving homes and schools more times than most due to her Dad’s work. Our opening reveals this character and gives a vague explanation of her situation. Her attitudes in the piece show that she is maybe lonely, vulnerable and isolates herself, and just keeps herself to herself.
Thriller films serve the purpose of ‘thrilling’ their audience by building tension, anticipation and fear they generally keep the audience cliff-hanging as the plot builds towards a climax. This tension usually arises as a result of the main character being placed in a threatening situation or a sense of mystery is created through various eerie happenings, which I think is key to the suspense and is something that needs to be included in our work, so i will look in existing films that follow the theme of thriller, and see how the build up of tension has been created.
