Inspiration

SAW 1;
Our inspiration for our psychological thriller consists of Saw 1, this is because some scenes from our opening sequence and clips from the film relate well to each other. The sudden change of shot types and flashbacks inspired us to go a similar direction.


This trailer is an example of what we are wanting to aim for. Throughout the trailer, you are able to stand a bit more of the story and whats going on, slowly letting you in. There isn't a soundtrack, just the sound of a camera flashing. This is the only light you can see with, at the beginning most of the scenes are pitch black.

This screen grab shows a clip from the film of a the hidden video camera in the room. This 'old fashioned' style of shot gives a more creepy atmosphere. During the film you can only hear people talking, finding out more and more about the plot. There are many different camera shots involved, such as close up; giving a more intense feeling and long shot so you able to see the location. You never are able to see the person/thing who is in control. There is many hidden mysteries still to unravel, making you want to watch more.

The inspiration we are taking from this is the whole mystery of it, slowly understanding more. The sudden flashes of clips show this well. Overall this will put the audience on the edge of their seat. The camera flashes we found were a good idea and may investigate into doing that ourselves in our thriller.
