Individual narrative ideas - Miss Georgiou

Introduction:

A narrative is important because it tells us the story line, with out it could confuse the audience as there is no real plot to the film and with lots of things happening and no story to it, the film would not make sense it would be very random and for a thriller unrealistic as the events happening would not connect together.  For the film to be successful, there has to be a narrative.

Considering a narrative for my thriller

A house in the middle of the Countryside. There will be 3 female victims who wake up locked in  different rooms scattered around the basement of the house, banging on the doors screaming trying to find a way to escape thinking that it is abandoned. However, with out them knowing the antagonists family are living in the house, not aware of the victims being there as all the walls are sound proof. Will the victims escape before it is too late or will one of the family members become suspicious as the antagonist keeps heading down to the basement?
I will include the 5 main elements;
Setting & Iconography- the house is the setting, i will use ropes and knives as the Iconography.
Costume, hair & makeup- no makeup and hair will be plain and natural to show the victims innocence, wearing old baggy jumpers.
Facial expressions& body language- will represent fear and suspense
Lighting & colour- low-key lighting, dark and dull colours.
Positioning of characters- scattered in different rooms, thinking they are the only victim.


The conventions my thriller would contain-

• House in the countryside 
• an antagonist
• 3 female victims
• low-key lighting
• close ups
• diegetic music
• suspense 
• slow editing 
• target audience: 15+
