Style:
The genre of our production will be 'thriller', and will incorporate many of both aesthetic and narrative conventions that are commonly used in thrillers. This includes low-key lighting, close-up/reaction shots, eery music, jump cuts and an increasing pace throughout.
The genre of our production will be 'thriller', and will incorporate many of both aesthetic and narrative conventions that are commonly used in thrillers. This includes low-key lighting, close-up/reaction shots, eery music, jump cuts and an increasing pace throughout.
Rationale:
By incorporating conventions of many similar genres of films to create something new, thrillers are aimed at quite a wide target audience and appeal to lots of different demographics. The low-key lighting is conventional of horror films, while the use of guns as a choice of weapon is often used as iconography for action films. Thrillers appeal to fans of both of these genres, and manipulates the conventions to challenge active audiences and create suspense.

Feasibility:
All aspects of our production are obtainable. Locations are practical and always available for use (unless there are weather issues), most of the equipment being used is owned by Jack (whose house we are incidentally using for filming) so is nearly always accessible. Our actors live locally and can also access both locations, so as long as they are willing to give us enough time to complete all filming, we should be able to complete the production with few issues.

Budget:
No financial costs needed as all equipment/props are already owned and nothing will be damaged in the film's creation, and the actors are working for free. Fuel/food costs for the actors may be covered by myself, Jack and Faith as a thank-you for their time.
