Ideas
I got some of these ideas from various, films and Tv programs such as American Psych, Dexter, Crank, inception, Seven and Taken. I have taken some of my ideas from Christopher Nolan with a non-linear story and a restricted view of the events.

2) Need to work on my presentation of some of my posts.
3) Need to annotate my posts when i upload them. 

What makes a Thriller?

These are the main things you would suspect from a thriller film including characters audience expectations props and locations. this task showed me all the aspects we will need when making our thriller film.

Falling down foley

The sounds i have added to this sequence from falling down are what I personally think the iconic sounds you would find in a thriller, such as the music i have put in the background which is pianos and various other instruments. Other sounds you would expect are the things like the radio the children playing in the background also the building works and the heavy breathing the character shows, this could indicate that his philological state is unstable.  

Genre Iconography Mood Board

This mood board shows the things you would expect in a thriller such as the kind of characters the crimes they would commit the mystery and the location.

Inception Spoiler Review

Inception. Christopher Nolans 2010

The story follows the character of Dominick “Dom” Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) who is a former dream architect. Their first target in the film is a high-ranking powerful Japanese businessman called Saito (Ken Watanabe). Dom and his associate Arthur (Joseph Goron-Levitt) have Saito in a dream within in dream to try to extract information from Saito subconscious, but due to complications in their plan, Saito find out that extraction is being performed on him and captures Arthur and Cob and is planning to torture them as you can still fill pain the dream Cobb shots Arthur in the second dream so he wakes up in the first dream. Arthur gives Dom a kick in the first dream to wake him up from the second dream, the kick also wakes Saito up and he thinks this is the real world but before Cob can obtain the information the group gets attacked by a mob and wake up on a train on the way in to Tokyo and the extraction get off of the train before Saito wakes up and realises who they are.

Saito set out to capture Arthur and Cob and he succeeds but instead of killing them like the characters think he gives them a job to complete, which is to destroy his biggest energy competitor run by a ailing Maurice Fischer, by planting an idea in his son Robert Fischer (Cillian Murphys) head to destroy his fathers company when it is in his hands. If Cob succeed in this, Saito would pull some strings to have the murder charge on Cob’s head dropped for apparently murdering his wife, but in fact Cob is innocent as his wife committed suicide and she did not see the real world as real as she thought in was a dream and jumped off a building to try and wake up from a dream. Cob cannot refuse this offer, as he cannot get home to see his children.

Cob assembles a crack team of people he has worked with in the passed and who he trusts they start to form a plan. They put this in to place when Maurice Fischer dies in Los Angeles, and his son Robert is in Sydney. They take advantage of the length of the flight Robert has take to go see his dead father. They successfully succeed in their plan, with a few twists and turns in the plot in the storyline and Robert fisher dissolves his fathers company. When they all get off the plane they all go their separate ways and cob can now go home to see his children, which he does. When he’s in the house he spins totem witch will tell him if he is a dream if it doesn’t stop spinning, but if it falls it is reality. The camera does a close up on the totem whist it is spinning and blacks out before it falls. So is he still in a dream?

Thriller location

The reason i have chosen this location is because of the low key lighting witch is highlighted as the picture is in black and white. Also the fact it is a shipping dock also adds mystery as it will have you asking the question 'why are they there' which is key to a thriller.

From this activity I have have found out how many slates an introduction to a film has, why they are there, what they are used for (copyright) and the order of importance. eg the big production company's always have the first slate in the opening sequence and the Director always has the last slate.
