Institutions
Institutions
When researching for psychological thrillers we have concluded that Paramount are most commonly the film instituition connected with pyschological thrillers. We think it would be appropriate to use this instiution at the beginning of our opening as our audience can identify that we are a psychological thriller film. Paramount have distributed a lot of well established films like "Shutter Island", "The Talented Mr Ripley", "Paranormal Activity 1,2,3,4 and 5."

Costume
The costume that the character will be wearing is very basic wear, clothes you'd normally wear at in your house as she’ll be at home. We have chosen some navy blue skinny jeans, its very casual with some black ankle socks and the top half we have chosen a plain black jumper. We had got this idea from the film possession. she will also be wearing her hair back and free off make up, were trying to create the effect of begin casual at your home.
Phychological thriller
Psychological
thrillers:
It’s a popular sub-genre of thrillers with heavy focus on
characters. Thrillers ties in elements
of mystery and drama genre. Physiological thrillers contain elements of horror
genre,
In a psychological film plot, the characters are no longer
reliant on physical strength to over their enemies but are reliant oh their
mental resources by battling for the opposite force in the characters own mind.
The suspense created by psychological thrillers often comes
from two or more characters preying one another’s mind.
Theme:
Psychological thrillers tend to follow certain themes which
is the main point of the story.
- Death
- Reality
- Identity
- Existence
- Purpose
Convection of a psychological thriller:
Convection of physiological thriller will include things
like:
- Low level lighting: this creates shadows, creating tension and fear
- Quick edits and changes in camera angle: creates adrenaline rush, increasing fear and shock.
- Music: high volume screech, slow eerie and silence, this hold the audience breath as they don’t now what to expect.
- Flashback: to confuse the audience or showing the past to give and insight into why characters are the way they are.
- Black and white colouring: increases the effect of shadow
- Font/ colour of title: titles are mostly written against a black background to emphasize the theme of the film but this doesn’t apply to all thrillers.
Film titles
Most of them are against a dark background, with bright text, whilst the ones against a bright/clear background is written in dark text.
The fonts don't really have anything to it, each letter are separated and are written in a letter type of font, their formal.
Each title match the the film concept/images , i.e 'Vacancy' is written up on an hotel billboard, we would normally associate hotel with the word 'vacancy', and 'Memento', is with a picture, associating with pictures and the memories we get from looking at them.
Script information
Our film opening does only has one dialogue, here by we don't see nay reason why we should include a script for out film opening, however because they will be a of description scrips.
We are going to focus more on sounds such as non-diegetic music and synchronous sounds instead as we feel this will be much more effective as no speech is needed for our opening.

Why Do People Watch Psychological Thrillers?
Why Do People Watch Psychological Thrillers?
People watch psychological thrillers for different reasons. After psychological research, researchers found a strong link between the desire to watch suspenseful and scary films or entertainment, and the viewers need for physical arousal and excitement.
Meaning we like to watch these movies for the thrill of it. 'People like to be scared, when they feel safe' - Alfred Hitchcock This is the idea that we enjoy watching it, as we are not the ones living it.
Some people may watch it to revisit a trauma when younger, instead of having to actually re-live it. Or others may choose to watch to to help express/release their own aggressive and violent thoughts.
Researchers at Kings College in London Found that the key to having a successful scary movie it to have the balance between the horror/suspense and gore, an example of this would be jaws.

Summary of Genre and age rating
Me and my partner has chosen to do 'Thriller' as the genre for our film opening, seeing that thriller is very large genre, this makes it easier for us to target our audience, I believe this allows us to reach to a wider audience.
Our target audience is rated '15', we went for age '15' because we believe people around that age and above would like the anticipation and suspense that thriller provides and also does it keep them alert.
