Generic conventions - Jayeb

This is a list of generic conventions that are associated with our genre (Thriller):

• Criminals - Antagonist/hitman
• Stalkers
• Assassins - Antagonist/hitman
• Innocent victims - Witness/victim
• Phsycotic character
• Dark pasts
• Cops

A typical thriller has 1 main antagonist and 1 main protagonist. It ususally takes place in ordinary suburbs. A typical storyline would be of a character in a menacing situation, where esscape seems to impossible; life is threatened and storylines are ususally crime related.

Azmains pitch for the coursework

The first thing you see is a black screen of credits running for about 25 seconds. The music in the background will be a piano playing until the credits and title disappear. The credits will consist of the characters of the film and the people who contributed to the making of the film, after the credits, the title will appear zooming out of the screen while the screen fades in with a smooth transition to a close up of the main character, Jason. He has a squint in his eyes as if he is looking into a bright light. The camera zooms out, to establish the setting of the place that he is in, he is in a dark basement and the only source of light is the bright torch which is attached to the gun pointing towards him. A bust shot of Jason tied up in a chair is shown, he says “where is my father?!” in anger. The masked man who is a robber says “Don’t worry, he’ll be fine, just as long as you tell me the code for the safe” in a relaxed tone while the camera is still on Jason. A side view shit of Jason is shown while he screams “Never! Those are my grandfather’s jewels, and you are not getting your filthy hands on them!” A sound of a gun being cocked is heard. Fast cuts are then shown of a close up of the gun, then a close up of Jason’s face, then a close up of the robber, all in quick succession to give a sense of chaos and urgency. Each shot in the fast cuts have a drum sound over them, then the screen goes blank simultaneously with the last beat of the drum sound.
