Intro  
Describe the thriller
charles Derry

Last year, our production team Desert Eagle formed an emotionally in caving thriller, opening sequence called Saint Sinister. My thriller can be defined as a moral confrontation, this idea is explored by Charles Derry, it is a complex plot of confrontation between the good and evil of characters. The opening sequence explores Sinister’s inner moral conflict and a story of escape is told from the victim’s point of view. We establish these two opposing characters, using clear 1st person shots to create the connection between the two characters. Its name is symbolic in the fact that it is contrasting and represents a struggle for light and darkness, the main character is holy hitman, devoted to God but abides by his own rules as a professional killer.

Cinematography Editing Sound and Mise-en-scene examples

1 Deborah Knight states that the thrill comes from the prolonging of the inevitable. From the start of the thriller, we used abrupt cuts, through the use of editing to foreshadow the eventual demise of the victim. These cuts are meant to symbolise a flash forward in time, suggesting that the future is set into stone, we hint at the victims death with the subtle bludgeoning of the victim, using blood splatter and brutal sound effects.


2 Props theory suggests that there is always different types of characters.
3 Strauss' theory based on binary oppositions, propels the narrative forward.
4 Todorov's theory follows the idea there is a pattern followed through narrative of equilibrium.
