We have had many influences that have made us decide on where and what to film about. Influences from movies we have seen for instance, have given us an idea on what we intend to include within our thriller.
Our plot originated from several ideas we gathered from films we had seen, and thrillers that took to our liking. We tried to make all of our scenes strongly support the proper codes/conventions of a traditional thriller, by implementing shots and scenes that made the audience feel on edge about what would happen next.
The reasons behind our plot came from group discussions and we all conferred about what we thought would support conventions of a thriller, and what also would compliment the 'nail biting' factor. As audience expectations of a thriller are for it to be tense, scary and entertaining, we made sure our plot suited and supplied all of these techniques.
As a production group, we, TwistedInc came up with the name 'The Following' for our thriller. The name suited our storyline and meant that we could have a name that run smoothly in comparison to our story.
Our thriller consisted of two main characters, John who was the protagonist. He played an innocent character and one that's imagination is tormented and played with. George plays the antagonist. He is the one who stalks the main character and is the mysterious and dark entity behind our thriller.
We filmed our thriller in two locations, both supporting an empty/eerie atmosphere that complemented our story line. An alley was one location, this location gave a lonely and uneasy environment in which caused the audience to feel on edge. We ensured that it was very dark and silent which added to the effect. The other location was a car park. We went on a night when it would be not busy and empty. This supported the theory of it being isolated from others and made the protagonist feel very alone.
Props and costumes in our thriller meant that they had to suit the storyline and characters. George was dressed in all black and appeared very questionable and worrying. John was dressed in a normal apparel which simply supported a stereotypical individual that was of no importance.
