individual narrative.

                                      Individual narrative.

 A narrative is important in a film because it builds a story line for the audience and lets the audience understand what is going on and what is going to happen.

Using the research and analysis i have done i am going to use this information to help me understand and make my own thriller, my thriller should include:
- The narrative I want to have for my film is a camping scene, where you can see shadows of the killer from the inside of the tent but the audience do not know who the killer is until the victim has been attacked or killed.
- The attacker would be wearing dark colours and covering their identity by using low key lights, the attacker would be an obsessed previous boyfriend that thinks what the victim did to him was not right and he wasn't revenge. The victim wearing brights colours and their personality would be a very happy and bubbly person, which no fear of anything and nothing to worry about in their life.  
- The target audience for my thriller would be teenagers because i would want it to use violence to a moderate level, so i think don't this film would be appropriate to be a film rated 15.
- The location for my thriller would be in a field or a forest, i feel as if this would make the audience be put on edge and this is also a conventional for where a thriller to be.
- I would use the axe as the weapon and iconography, this would be a good convention of a weapon in a thriller.
-The body language of the victims would be very scared and confused, it would make the audience suspicious of what is going on. I would make the attacker very upfront and no worried about being caught for attacking the person, this would make the audience want to know why he has killed the victim and why.
-My narraitive appeals to my target audience because it will ahve some violence in it which will be enough to put the audience of the age category 15 on edge, i want the audience to be worried about what is going to happen next i also want to make sure that they are always thinking about what is going to happen next within my thriller film.

My inspiration for this thriller was strangers because i want the attack to happen in a isolated location and there will be one or two characters on their own in the tent, which relates to two characters in the house in the middle of no where, i also want the main victim to be a female as this is conventional to a thriller film which is like the film strangers. I am also going to use masks for the attacker of my thriller film to make the attacker seem mysterious, this idea came from the film strangers. Also another inspiration for my thriller was prom night because the attacker would be chasing and hunting one person and the person would be wearing dark colors and the shadows would cover the identity of the attacker, this relates to the prom night scene when the attacker and victim are in the hotel room. I also want to use the light colours of the victim and dark colours for the attacker so you can clearly see who is the attacker when filming.

The audience would be able to relate to my narrative as the characters are around the same age and they would also be thinking of when they were going camping and if this would ever occur to them. The could also be able to understand why the attacker would be trying to hunt this couple as he was a previous boyfriend and ex-boyfriends can become very jealous when the girl starting going out with another boy. The narrative will appear to the target audience as they will think it is a real life situation that any of them could be in, the audience will know the dangers of camping on their own and would hopefully understand the risks that this couple are putting themselves in.

  1. Your narrative post shows a good understanding of what your narrative will contain. You have described your narrative well and you have also considered some of your characters too.

    To make this post more detailed you need to explain your inspirations in more detail and consider the conventions too. Finally you need to relate your points back to your target audience and explain how your narrative will appeal to your audience.
