Individual ideas for a narrative - Miss Georgiou

I took a lot of inspiration from several different thriller films. I took inspiration from Pulp Fiction and the way that Quintin Tarintino breaks the rules of narrative conventions, this is an experimental method of filming that interested me. Sin City's use of special effects and colour aspect is also another inspiration as it has been labelled as one of the most stylish thrillers to date and the use of black and white creates a strong focus on certain, coloured points of notice. The use of a hidden identity in films such as Scream is a good way to create tension as the audience are eager to find out who the killer is, and what their motives/backstory is. The strong use of lighting in the film Shutter Island creates suspense and sets the audience up for a shocking scene.            

                                                                             

My narrative idea is about an Entomologist who becomes obssesed with insects and uses them to kill his victims in order to use them for experiments. The scientist is a mentally unstable old man, who is tall and angry looking, his victims will be timid, mainly females who are average or good looking. The opening sequence will not be the beggining of the movie, as the film features several scenes that are not in chronological order, the scene will have low key lighting, with only silence, and the dripping of water to be heard, the scene will be black and white and the main focus will be the insects crawling around over the bodies, whos faces are hidden. Afterwards the scientist will be dragging more bodies and placing them down, throughout this part the scene will frequently skip to another location in which a detective is being briefed on a seriai killer whos murders all have insects as a pattern to link them. The main conventions within the scene will be the hiddden identity of the murderer, and the hero and villain, the hero is a male and the victims are mostly female. The blood and insects will be the main motif within the scene.

My idea will appeal to an audience for several reasons, for example the use of low key lighting is conventional to a thriller film and will keep the audience eager to find out what is happening. The use of a unique character who is creepy, the audience will be drawn in and will want to know the fate of the character as he will have a like-ability factor that the audience will be interested in. The eerie atmosphere created by the soundtrack will appeal to the audience, the music will be interesting and will correlate with the particular scenes.
