PITCH PADLET

Padlet


I used the website Padlet, to display my ideas for our film in a mind map format. My partner Clementine made a separate presentation, and then we brought our ideas together so we could start planning out our idea. I started by analyzing the film openings of Psychological thrillers to identify conventions that could be reflected in our own film opening. From there I looked at the sounds and music each film used, and started to brainstorm ideas. This research inspired two initial ideas for our film, one of which we ended up using for our final composition. Below, is my padlet of ideas, followed by Clementine's work. As well as looking at conventions, I also inspected how credits were incorporated in the opening sequence. Although I was off school for the week we worked on our pitches, Padlet allowed us to connect our ideas and look at each others thought processes remotely.

Feedback



The main feedback from the class was that we had to narrow down our research to a more specific idea, which led to us searching for imagery more specific to a theme. We were also recommended some shows/films that we could analyse that were relevant to our ideas so far. We were also given advice, such as to introduce enigma codes and to imply a threat rather than showing it to build up suspense and a ominous atmosphere.

HOW DOES YOUR PRODUCT USE OR CHALLENGE CONVENTIONS AND HOW DOES IT REPRESENT SOCIAL GROUPS OR ISSUES?

Conventions Representation of Social groups and issues One main theme in my film, is the binary opposite of the rich vs poor. This is present due to the wealthy couple's enjoyment for 'hunting' those who aren't as well off as them. This raises the issue that is commonly seen in reality - rich people getting away with things because they are able to use money to get rid of their problems. It can be discussed whether the couple are able to pursue their interests because they are able to 'persuade' people to look the other way. Another film that also looks at the accessibility that comes with having money, is "Surviving the Game" (1992) - which is about wealthy businessman who pay to hunt humans in the mountains for sport. This has a similar theme to my film, but with more emphasis on hunting.

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS

Introduction Today I watched the movie 'The Silence of the Lambs' (1991), directed by Jonathan Demme. This is a classic example of a Psychological Thriller, as it changed the Thriller genre forever by introducing the idea of highly intelligence serial killers. It stars Jodie Foster as Clarice Sterling, a young trainee with ambitions to become a FBI agent. Anthony Hopkins plays the role of Hannibal Lecter, an educated doctor-turned serial killer who seems to provide help for Clarice, but continues to live his horrible lifestyle. 'Buffalo Bill', is the main serial killer in question, played by Ted Lavine. I looked at representation throughout the movie, along with looking out for conventions of the Thriller genre, and common Narrative structures.
