Our Final Idea - Maria

The final idea for our thriller sort of run along the genre of a psychological thriller mixed with a crime thriller. The general idea is that the protagonists sister has been murdered, but the only thing known about her murder is where she was found. The protagonist goes back to where her sister was found, to try and feel closer to her as she misses her very much. When she goes back, she finds her sisters bracelet which previously had not been there when the body was recovered. This scares her, so she makes a swift exit but is then followed. The identity of the killer is to remain a mystery throughout the film, although the killer does go on to follow and kill the protagonist. The only character shown in the whole film will be Maria's sister. The name of our film, Maria. is the name of the sister. We used this one name for the title because it is short and snappy, and reveals that even though Maria isn't in the film, the whole film is about her. It will also be made clear throughout that the protagonist is being followed, but it isn't until the end that she realises this. 

The location we will use is a wood near Gosfield which is quite secluded. The purpose for using this location is because we know it has a hut/shed there which is disused, which is a main feature of our storyline as this can be used for where our victim was known to die. Also, theres not really many paths in the woods so filming can be more random and it wont really look like the protagonist knows where she's going. which is what we aim for. 

The music used for our film will be tension building, so the audience can sense something is about to go wrong. This will be subtle, so that the audience can focus on the protagonists movement and the main prop of the film. 

The costume used in our film will be just plain costume. The protagonist will be wearing minimal makeup, and just leggings, a scarf and a jumper to show that they are just a normal plain person. This is so that they can be relatable to a wider audience, and not seem special in any way to highlight that these heartbreaking and scary things happen to normal people. 

Our titles will be nothing too fancy. They will just be simply black and white, again in order to not take focus away from the protagonist.
