Me and Conor spent our class time today coming up with a range of ideas for our film treatment. As our audience research conveys a ‘Psychological Thriller’ is the preferred sub-genre, we have tried to come up with ideas that suit this style. Along with this, our knowledge of watching other Thriller films have helped us develop our ideas, and so when we come together as a group of four in our next lesson, we will discuss the ideas on this sheet and decide on a final one so our planning can begin.
The ‘number obsession’ idea came to me after watching a few clips from ‘The Number 23’ (2007) starring Jim Carrey – a humorous actor, something that entertains our target audience. The opening credits of this film are by far the best I’ve seen, as I found them to be very clever, and the blood flicked across the sequence could be easily replicable for our product, as it could be done with paint, something resourceful and easy to use. The secret facts incorporated into the title such as ‘There are 23 letters in the Latin alphabet’ and ‘The witches Sabbath is June 23rd’ flash by very quickly, possibly missing them in a blink of an eye. This secrecy intrigued me and the constant facts surrounding 23 sets you up for the rest of the film, in which is centered around the protagonist’s obsession with the number.
