Subject Matter Research

Themes of the opening

Some themes of our opening include:

Teenagers - The theme of teenagers is used in our film as there are mainly negative stereotypes within tv and movies associated with teenagers, for example the media portrays teenagers as violent, lazy, irrational, moody, substance abusing, dependant and unmotivated. In our film these stereotypes will be emphasized and exaggerated especially in the stereotypes of violence correlated with teenagers.



Violence - Violence is a theme we will be using in our film as violence is almost always associated within the thriller/ horror genre. Also violence adds suspence and gives a reason for the audience to root for a character or against a character and creates an atmosphere of tension throughout the film, as there is something (physical harm) to be afraid of and motivated to get away from.




Murder - Murder is a theme we will be using in our film as the antagonist is a murderer, but does not know that yet, and also because murder, like violence, is strongly associated within the thriller genre and again creates an atmosphere of danger throughout the film as the characters could be facing death.
