The title of the film:
The title of our film is displayed in the first frame. We used the font Orator STD to give the spaced out deranged look. The title of our film is ‘The Watching’. Our font is also just one colour, white, to make it stand out more and make it more eye-catching. This style of font is very common among the thriller genre. Such as the cape fear title
We used this title to influence our decision on the design of our title as cape fear also has the same spaced out typography and the bold one coloured scheme.

We came up with the title of the film based on the setting of our thriller as it was about a girl being stalked we finally decided on the name 'The Watching'.
Special FX:
We did not use any special FX in our film apart from fading to black and our special FX on the poster. We made the colours sharper and brighter to make it give a disorientated feel.

How characters are introduced:
Our characters are introduced one by one the first character to be introduced is Georgia who plays the girl this shot is seen in frame 3. You straight away see her dead with blood running down her face. This automatically gives the audience the impression they are watching a thriller. Roberta is the second character to be introduced she comes in from off shot and an over the shoulder shot this is because you never see her face as she is the murderer and we want to create an air of suspense.

Story and how the opening sets it up:
The story line of our thriller is a girl being followed then killed by her stalker. The opening to our thriller sets this up by first introducing the girl with a close up of her dead. There is then a shot of her killer looking at pictures he has collected of her showing his obsession with the girl.

Genre and how the opening suggests it:
Our genre for our thriller is psychological thriller as we never know who the murderer is and this is shown in our opening as the murderer comes into shot from behind we do not see the killers face. It is also suggested from the shot of the girl dead we do not know how she died which starts to get the audience thinking.

Settings and Location:
We decided to base our thriller in the forest outside shenfield high school. As a comon stereotypical trait of thrillers is that it is based in a deserted area. As the girl is getting ready the setting in her room is colour coded pink to make her seem more innocent and childlike.
Costumes and Props:
The only prop used was the knife to kill the girl with. We used a knife as our choosen weapon as it is seen widely in most thrillers. Our costume for the girl chosen was a purple shirt to make the character seem more girly and also the top button was done up to make her seem insecure and scared. The murderer was dressed all in black and with a hood to make him seem more mysterious.
