My Thriller

Together in my group, we have decided on some of the key themes that we aim to explore within our thriller, which include corruption, crime, sexuality, betrayal, mystery, moral ambiguity and duality of character. We felt that these themes were interesting to explore, especially duality of character and moral ambiguity, and would also reflect the thriller genre well. We have also decided to create an action thriller, and hope that this genre and subgenre are put across to the audience well in our opening sequence. We also hope that our opening shows the British and modern styles that we are aiming for. After discussion, we decided that we have been influenced heavily by two films - 'Layer Cake', and 'Essex Boys'. We have been influenced by these regarding the plot and have also been influenced by a chase scene we both found highly effective from 'Layer Cake'.
