Thriller Idea take 3

This is a final thriller idea, we spent ages, coming up with ideas, then ruling them out, it was a very tense process but we have finally come up with an idea.
Our idea begins in a dance studio, it is about 6pm, but it is winter so it is dark outside. There is a ballerina in the studio who is doing some pirouettes, she is quite stressed and frustrated as she cannot get them right. She then falls and cuts her fingure, there is a small drop of blood from the cut and this foreshadows what may come later in the film
A film which gave us this inspiration was The Stepfather:

He has just shaved and cut his chin, causing him to bleed, we instantly get a feeling this will not be the first time we see blood.


What would then happen in the title sequence would be her to continue to do ballet, but she begins to struggle more and this is clear.  This is ultimatly the main idea of our piece, we liked the idea of keeping it simple so then we could put more detail into the camera, sound, m.e.s and editing which we beileved would be more effective.

We thought that this clip from The Black Swan was similar to what we wanted to achive in our thriller:

 This shows us what she is doing, and her body language about the situation.

 This shows the tension in her feet and it seems painful.

This shows the distress in her face, and how she is finding the task stressful







Here are the mind maps we made when coming up with our final idea of the ballerina
