More codes and conventions of thriller movies are, not having a steady timeline, so this means including flashbacks and passing of time. Another one is that often in thriller movies, the point of view of the villain is often shown rather than the victim, but most often, both are shown. We will probably put this into our trailer from our idea of having the first scene as a point of view shot from the victim (who is the villain throughout the film).
Our main idea is in the thriller/horror genre, so we've looked into horror too.
-Horrors are designed to panic and frighten the audience, invoke fears (films often relate to everyday situations and places to provoke fear from the audience, such as scary attics and graveyards) also if we show flahses of crime scenes where the teenages die, they would be normal places, such as a bathroom, but with blood and slashes through the shower curtains etc.
-There is always a lead character who is the survivor in the film, if we use our bullying idea, then the survivor would be the victim who turns into the villain.
-In horrors young people are often the main characters, as our main idea is set around schoolyard bullying, our main characters will probably be teenagers.
- Real life news stories also often influence the villains in movies, such as 'Ed Gein,' a serial killer who influenced the characters of Norman from 'Psycho,' Jame from 'Silence of the Lambs' and Leatherface from 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.' Therefore we are going to look into real life bullying cases and victims to help create our characters.
