Pitch/Brief

 Our plot of a thriller begins with the opening of a man who is at his home living a regular day, on the phone to his friend organising his day; meeting up with a friend. When all of a sudden a man dressed all in black wearing a balaclava appears behind him holding a huge knife. The anonymous figure kills the other man; hanging up the phone giving the friend on the phone a scare and he rushes over to find out what has happened. After finding out his friend is dead, the man seeks revenge. The protagonist is dressed all in black, therefore hiding his identity from the viewers, giving a sense of mystery. As it is only the introduction to the thriller we don't want to give out too much from the start to build up the tension so it makes our thriller more exciting to view.

The choices of characters came of a joint decision as first we had myself as the protagonist, however we realised that Nathan is by far taller so he would fit the role better. Where we are creating a 'horror thriller' the viewers would expect there to be scenes of violence, emotion and mystery so that they will want to continue watching it. Our thriller involves some of what an emotional manipulation as the audience think Nathan is the victim at the start, when really at the end he turns out to be the villain by killing the man on the phone. With the killing of the person on the phone, viewers see the struggle as the protagonist physically pulls the man from behind, away with a knife pointing towards his chest to show a sense of violence.
