AICE Media Studies

 We have chosen a suspense thriller short film as a good choice for this group due to its ability to keep the audience interested throughout the entire film. Suspense allows us to focus on developing our story, building tension and creating an atmosphere, with less emphasis on special effects. It is a genre that will allow every member of our team to contribute based upon their skill set. The suspenseful genre creates an environment where we can utilize creativity through lighting, music and pacing to create emotional and anticipatory moments within our film. We believe that a suspense film will make a lasting impression on the viewer and therefore we are confident that this type of film will help our project become memorable. After reviewal of my AS level media studies work, this genre made even more sense due to my groups strengths in suspense. In conclusion, we feel that suspense is an excellent challenge for s that we can accomplish and will have an impact

 Pitch 1: Students find a hidden file predicting future events; as predictions come true, fear grows, questioning free will versus manipulation, ending in a disturbing, unresolved conclusion.  Pitch 2: Friends hang out texting when unknown messages reveal secrets, describe real time actions, spark paranoia, and expose the sender as someone present, creating fear in the group.  The group decided to go with pitch 2 due to the depth and complexity we could bring.
