Common conventions:A thriller usually consists of a battle between the protagonist character and the antagonist, when there is a disruption in the equilibrium. Then the story shows a chain of bad events building tension and suspense and climax. The aim of the protagonist is to restore justice, while the antagonist seeks to destroy it. By using common conventions of the genre thriller we will easily be able to add this into our story as it perfectly matches what our script is about.

Conventions of a Thriller:Low key lighting Quick cutsShadowsTension musicChanges in angle of shots Diegetic sound of breathingBlack and white shots Montage shots Protagonist is in the mercy of the antagonist

Will we stick to them or will we subvert?

We will stick to most of the conventions apart from the most significant one which is the gender; by having a female protagonist it will ensure that our film stands out and can also have other advantages such as using the assumptions of the female negatively and converting them to positive assumptions instead; by doing this we can clearly subvert view of the public and change their opinions about gender inequality. On the contrast, many other factors should be kept the same in order to ensure that the audience can infer that the films genre is Crime Thriller.

Will there be any problems and how will you overcome them?· - The props we will be using are guns and handcuffs and these items are

hard to find, and therefore we will buy a toy gun and handcuff and when we edit our film we will make it look real and professional.

· - In our story, there are two main characters which are twins as we couldn’t find any twins we will use editing features when editing our story to make them both present in the scene at the same time.The location we had decided to use is near our area, so therefore we will make sure we use our time efficiently, and there is also less travelling involved.

Independent film or blockbuster and why?Our film, will be an independant film due to its common advantageous conventions such as: -They often use unconventional filming techniques, for example John Cossavetes(a prominent independent filmmaker) who was known for using long shots in order to show the organic nature of the acting-Protagonists are rarely generic, often have quirky attributes and are three dimensionalIn recent years, there has been a constant coming and going of actors and directors between the two worlds, and the border has become very blurred. Now free from the labels of major studios, an independent film is best identified by its distribution network. However, as it is not distributed and advertised by large corporations, independent cinema always needs to be supported by a variety of festivals and associations of independent filmmakers. Because of this cinema will always remain a cradle for new talent. Filmmakers will continue to create movies with alternative and controversial messages, for it is from this huge pool of talent and creativity that cinema as a whole will continue to draw inspiration and develop.

Budget:£800,000“For one, with an annual production budget of over $3 billion, the study found that independent film spending "rivals" that of major studios'. The average budget for an independent film was found to be $750,000 per movie.”

Time:

Movies take about 45-60 days of production. Post production can take around 6 months to a year. Film opening takes around 8days to film, but it depends when the studio wants to release the picture.
