Watching other thriller films we was able to see what people like to see in thrillers. They like to have an adrenaline rush which allows us to change the pace of the sequence which changes the speed in which people get excited. We used shadows to insert the theory of ghosts and spirits. We decided that our BBFC'S certificate is 15 which allowed us to create the sequence for an adult audience.
This meant we were able to create more scary images which we wouldn't of been able to use if children would be watching it. Most psychological thrillers are rated at a 15 because of the content. As we just used shadows we didn't have to worry too much about Mise en scene. Shadows don't need costumes or make up which allows the audience to explore their imagination. Because shadows appear everywhere we didn't need to have a specific location which allowed us all to go out and film without it being noticed in the sequence. For props we used a knife to show people's souls as not everyone's soul is good. We wanted to show good and bad not just bad shadows. Because there wasn't much mise en scene this interested the audience as they didn't know what was going to happen or what they were going to see. If for example we had a location, the audience would maybe looking for specific features of that location e.g London- Big Ben or the London Eye. We don't have a main character or any characters which means our shadows have their own individual power. Each shadow can mean something different. It allows the audience to create their own character instead of following the main character. This means they are able to attach themselves to the shadow as they are using their own imagination and the shadow can be whatever they choose it to be, whereas with a main character they have to follow their storyline, even if they don't like it. Our sequence doesn't really have a theme as it is based on ideas from Carl Jung. However if I had to choose one, I guess it would be that people are responsible for their actions, no matter how evil their soul may be. I posted the video onto Facebook which allowed me to receive feedback. Unfortunately only three people responded but this is what they said:
To make it feel like it was shorter we could of done a fast past sequence which would make the pace speed up.
