Mood Board for Thriller

Characters

• There are 3 characters in our thriller opening they are:

• Sophie – She is a student of criminology in the present day.

• Eve – A victim of a crime which was committed in the past.

• Tommy – The criminal from both the past and present.

Costume

For Eve the costume will be classic for the 1930-40’s, she will have the same hair as Mia from Pulp Fiction as an intertexual reference.

For Sophie the costume will me modern but smart, to give the audience the idea that she is important and knows what she is doing.

For Tommy the costume will be simple but meaning full he will wear a classic suit in the past and a modern take on the suit in the present but will always be wearing a trilby to show the audience the dark side of the character from the off as it is common for gangsters to wear such attire.

Locations

PropsThe camera will be for Sophie as she will be taking pictures of the old crime scene.

The laptop and mirror will be used in the final shot as a way to see the reflection of Tommy (The Killer).

The pearls are to be worn by Eve to show that she is bad luck and that something bad is about to happen to her, Sophie will also wear them for the same reason.

The gloves are for Tommy as no evidence of him was found at the crime scene and so they show that he was prepared to kill.

Camera Angles

Close up shots are very important as they add suspense and tension.

Side on close ups and the rule of thirds work well together to give a profile of a character.

The shot in The Third Man with Harry Lime is an iconic tilt with great use of shadows which we are going to try to recreate.
