What is the purpose of a narrative?
The purpose of narrative is to engage the audience and inform them about the story.
I planned my ideas by brainstorming different thriller conventions and what I would like to see within a thriller clip. I also looked at what scares the audiences the most during films and from that we began forming an idea on what the thriller will be based about.
The advantages of a narrative are that it expresses your point of you which enables the audience to gain different perspectives into your story. You can base your narrative on a real life event either way it will sound impressive. An advantage to this is it has loads of good codes and convention like low key lighting from the stated settings. A Disadvantage to this is it would be hard to film the scenes without getting unwanted people in the background or noises the will distracted the viewers.
Storyline
Characters
The second character was the victim who would be an innocent looking girl and she would be dressed in pyjamas as the scene is set at night and in her bedroom.
Setting
The setting of the scene would be in the victims bedroom, i used this because it is conventional to thriller films as a lot of murders are carried out in bedrooms or in a house. Also the audience could then relate to the film because they too would be watching the film from inside and it gives it the extra bit of fright to the film.
Rating
This film will be rated a 15 because it will have scenes of a sexual nature and maybe some use of drugs and violence.

Everyone in my group wrote up and individual narrative saying what will happen in each scene what types of character, camera shots, edit etc we could use. We looked at the advantages and disadvantages of each idea and created a narrative to use in our thriller clip.
The people who are part of my group narrative are : James Edwards, Nathaliah Makki and Leandra Saunders.
Your individual idea for a narrative demonstrates basic planning techniques and this is because you have not been specific in your points and have only included an overview of what your narrative will include.
ReplyDeleteAim to focus more on the opening sequence, by discussing what will be shown to the audience and why? You have included the points above, but these need to be elaborated in more detail.
