END…

Our thriller film location-forest. We have decided when the title is shown we will use a loud sound to emphasize the title of the film.We shall then use a typical convention of a thriller film which is non diegetic mysterious, dangerous music in order to create tension and fear amongst the audience. We will make these sounds by using a soundtrack with instruments such as Violins, pianos etc.The film begins with the camera tracking feet running, crushing leaves and panting sounds, these sounds are all diegetic. Having this opening we felt draws the audience in as we know someone is in some sort of danger but as we can only see the feet we are unsure of what is happening/going to happen this creates a sense of anticipation for the audience.The next scene, the person receives a message, there is a close up of the message which says ‘I can see you’Close up of characters facial expression, this gives the audience an insight to how the character is feeling.She looks around and this is where we use an establishing shot plus a POV shot of the forest surrounding the character, there are diegetic sounds of the birds etc.We then see another POV shot watching the character this then makes it clear to the audience that someone is watching the character, this creates the audience to feel anxious.The girl begins to run again which we as the audience will have our hearts racing as we will feel as we are the girl running and next thing we see is a man putting her in a sack, this makes use of a prop and also creates anxiety amongst the audience.

Look behind you is a thriller movie based on a man (Damien Merda) who had a troubled childhood which led to his psychological problems with women as his mother abused him when he was a child, his childhood was full of sorrow and pain. He was only five years of age when he saw his mother stabbed his father 13 times right in front of his eyes since that very day (13 October) he vowed to never trust a women again and made it his ultimate goal to punish women that came across his path.

The film starts of with one of Damien’s many victims (Kelly Bay) running through a forest, out breath and energy he sends her text which reads: ‘I can see you, look behind you’ this is pattern that follows through as every one of his victims receives this text. Kelly is eventually captured by Damien without his identity being revealed till later on in the film, she is taken to an underground hideaway where she meets many female victims like herself who are bound behind bars and drugged.

Kelly makes many attempts to escape but fails every time, meanwhile there are search hunts being carried out by the police as there have been many women claimed missing, at this point Damien’s identity is still not revealed , days pass and the female victims are killed off one by one on a daily basis.
