Finally, we have successfully agreed on a genre and subgenre that suites both of us. To me, this has to be the most difficult thing in the entire process, because you are literally at square one. No guidance, no nothing. Just you and your imagination. Now that is out of the way (at least I hope), we can get down to business in piecing together our story line. Maria and I have decided that the main character should be a female.
Female characters in Thriller and horror films typically represent the helpless person who is vulnerable and is usually the one being attacked by the killer. The setting has not changed since I first brought about the topic. We still both agree that it should take place during
nighttime, since darkness represents evil and death. The primary colors throughout this film will be filled with darks and greys, in order to set the gloomy tone.
We want the film to start out in a secluded house with not much around. This will add to the erie setting, and make the main character appear even more vulnerable. We imagine that the establishing shot will include the night sky, with the single house in the shot, surrounded by nothing but nature. In many thriller and horror films, this type of opening foreshadows bad things to come. We then plan to introduce the character, who is in her house... alone. This further adds suspense and suspicion that something may go down.
