This is our new planning we discussed

Actors- Megan and possibly Sophie
Costume - Dress, skirt, tights all black
Make-up- White face, dark black eyes red lips, maybe blood everywhere from her mouth, eyes, blood dripping down her arms all over her dress.
Location- it will be set in a house we would like to film it during the night to make it look more effective. I think it should be filmed in a house because the storyline could be about friends going on holiday and have to stay in a haunted house. (Foreign cities is a convention of a thriller)
The props we will need will be fake blood, maybe a knife or a gun.
Lighting- would be normal lighting you get in a house, However I think we shouldn't’t use all the lights that we can because the darker it is the scarier. It looks Spookier; another possibility could be just candles because of a power cut.
Ideas the house is dull and empty there is a girl climbing out the cupboards and out from under the beds scratching on the floor while pulling her out, looking away from the camera and then at certain points of the film she suddenly looks straight into the camera. We want to create lots of tension and mystery. We think a good scene would be a girl walking down the hallway when suddenly she disappears. I think this would create suspense as she then re-appears down the hallway. Another scene could be a shot of the house from outside with the girl just standing at the window staring out of the window. Another could be the girl playing with a pool of blood. There could be an over-the-shoulder-shot of someone in the house doing something when the girl appears behind them then the screen goes black and you can hear a scream then the picture comes back and the person is lying on the floor with blood all around them.
Conventions Characterised by fast pacing, frequent action and resourceful heroes who must thwart the plans of more powerful and better equipped villains.
Literary devices such as suspense, red herrings and cliff hangers are used extensively; thrillers often take place wholly or partly in exotic settings such as foreign cities deserts or high seas.
Heroes are normally law enforcement, officers, soldiers, spies or aviators; however they could also be ordinary citizens drawn into danger by accident.
Thrillers often overlap with mystery stories, but are distinguished by the structure of their plots.
In a thriller, the hero must thwart the plans of an enemy, rather than uncover a crime that has already happened. In recent years when thrillers have been increasingly influenced by horror or psychological horror exposure. The monster could be anything even an inferior physical force made superior only by their intellect, a supernatural entity, aliens serial killers
