Acting
After thinking about our film, we decided that the acting is very important for a thriller film. To build up suspence, the actors must be very mysterious and weird which will instantly build up tension in the eyes of the audience. Here I have listed the actors used in scenes, and how we have tried to portray their emotions and feelings effectively.
Father (Mr Pipe) - Lots of long shots have been used so we can see his body positioning so we can strongly capture his body emotions. We have tried to make him as hunched up as possible, to portray the fact that he is insecure. Although he is a villain (The audience doesn't know this) he still has feelings and emotions. Facial expressions are the most important feature to portraying emotions and feelings. We have tried to get the most worried looking face out of our actor as possible, without making it look to unrealistic.
Victim (Myself) - Body expressions have been made to be fast and jerky. This has been done to portray the fact that he is feeling scared and very concerned for his own wellbeing. We don't see too much of this character standing still, as he is mainly running. Due to the fact that he is running, we can instantly tell he is scared and probably involved in a chase. Facial expressions used are very natrual. Mostly we see the character looking very tired and out of breathe, as well as looking completely petrified! There is not many facial expressions used by this character, until the end, where we see a shot looking directly at me, with the killer in the background. Here the facial expressions display a sense of relief, as the victim believes he is safe, but the audience know he isn't!
Killer (Ben) - This character is very hard to describe. His body and facial expressions are very limited, as he is a mysterious character. The main body expression for him is his motionlessness. The fact that he is chasing someone, yet hardly moving shows the audience that he is very good at this, and knows exactly what he is doing, although on screen it would appear he doesn't. The character is wearing a mask, meaning we never see his facial expressions. Finally, when the killer does make his movements, they are very fast and sudden, and quite jerky, which fits the conventions of a thriller well.
