To effectively connote our genre in our films opening sequence, we ensured we researched into films that also had a genre psychological thriller and/or horror. This allowed us to identify a key convention which is for the film's story line to be centered around the life of one character who is either the stalker or is being stalked. In our case, the main character is the stalker and from our research into films of a similar genre and theme such as One Hour Photo, we were also able to identify the conventional characteristics and behaviors such as weirdness and an obsession to things or people. In One Hour Photo, the main character is a seemingly ordinary old man who turns out to have an obsession with a family and he stalks and follows their movements via a mood-board. We were inspired by this and so our main protagonist follows these conventions. She is named Grace and at first appears to be your 'average teenage girl' however it later becomes evident that she is not. Through her addiction to her phone and social media to stalk, and her use of a mood-board to store images and information about the people she stalked, her unusual nature becomes clear.Wednesday, 6 January 2016
