Hey readers! Today I'm going to be speaking about my group project and what type of movie we've decided to do. Before we started actually working on this project I had knew some of my group members ideas and was trying to think on ways to make everything work. I knew I really wanted to do a teenage dream based movie (like Sixteen Candles, Freaky Friday, etc.) but I knew I would want another element as well. It took us a long time to find something that we all agree with but after some conversation we're starting to get a clearer picture of what we want to do. We decided to do a.... Teen drama-Thriller movie!
With our movie opener we plan to use a unexpected scare contributing to the thriller element. Due to this the conventions used will include thriller convention but ones that are less obvious to the watcher in order to fully surprise them. We want the watcher to genuinely believe the opening is going one way without any thoughts that it's something else. To do this we're going to weigh in heavy onto the teenage drama conventions such as stereotypical high school cliques/relationships, lighthearted energy, upbeat music, ad superficial motives.
We then want to utilize thriller conventions by having jump scares, utilizing specific sound, undirect hints toward something bad happening, violence/blood, and more. It's somewhat difficult to mix all these things without displaying the intent of the plot, but I believe it's contribute to a great movie. Overall I am so excited to see this movie play out and hope our ideas come to life perfectly. See you next time!
