4. Convection Use Develop Challenge Was there an inspiration from real? How?
1. MES
Main characters has
normal clothes
Normal clothes represents him as normal person.
This shows that mentally ill people looks the same
as health people.
2. CHARACTER
One of the main
characters is mentally
ill, as it this genetic in
his family. However
his illness wasn’t
visible until he fall in
love and he starts to
has obsession over his
girlfriend/victim.
I took inspiration from ‘gone’ , where abductor by
all means wanted to get back his victim.
I challenged this convection as usually
psychological movies involves people, who are
unstable mentally, because of their past
experience. It’s rare that character is mentally ill,
because of family genetic.
Moreover I challenged this convection as
character who is mentally ill is portrayed by
people around him as normal person
3. LOCATIONS
Park and shed
In my trailer I will use two locations.
In the park will be scenes before the abduction
and after, however main character will be
kidnapped on the street and imprisoned in the
shed. So overall I will develop this convection as
locations will be changing from urban to isolated
places.
Also I took inspiration from ‘gone’ , where
antagonist imprisoned his victim in the forest
5. Convection Use Develop Challenge Was there an inspiration from real? How?
4. LIGHTENING
Most of the scenes
will happen at day
time, however there
will be some scene at
night/evening time –
when main character
is kidnapped
Lighting is develop as there is use of day time
light, which is natural light, sun, and also there is
use of artificial light, when are night/evening
scenes.
In lots of psychological movies actions take places
at the evening or night.
5. EDITING
Mostly medium pace,
however there is also
slow monition and
fast pace to crate a
tension.
Moreover Montague
is from the time
before and after
abduction, which are
‘interspersed’
In most psychological movies they use medium
pace to show realism. In my trailer this is
important as mentally ill character is portrayed as
normal, so through medium pace I support this
idea.
Moreover through slow motion and fast pace
there is a tension, which makes trailer more
interesting
Also Montague ‘interspersed’ scenes before and
after abduction to show different emotions etc
3. MUSIC
There are two
different types of
music
There are two types of music :
One is used with the scenes after abduction, and
second one is used after abduction.
This develop this convection as music is changing
together with scenes and moreover helps
audience which scenes are after/before
abduction.
