MOOD BOARD FOR

THRILLER

Sorrel Grundy

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.
