Similar Thrillers

Our thriller introduction cannot really be related fully to any film in particular, but instead, different aspects of lots of thrillers. The first one is Cape Fear, because it is the idea of a killer tracking and killing his victims; this is relevant to ours because it is about the murderer coming to kill the journalist, but it's also different because we have the twist at the end where the journalist kills the murderer.

One shot I plan on including in our introduction is one of the camera panning down from the manikin to show the journalist hiding under the bed with a gun; I found this to be similar to a part of the anime style scene in Kill Bill. A lot of our establishing shots will be zooming around the journalist's room, showing different elements of it, making the audience spatially aware of the area. I got the idea for this from different parts of 'Panic Room', where there camera zooms around the house, showing certain places in detail.



We also found our thriller idea to be similar to the anime 'Death Note', as the story of this anime revolves around a boy called Light, who kills criminals in the world to make it a better place using the Death Note. This is similar to our idea as Daniel, the journalist in our film, wants to kill all of the murderers he finds in newspapers; and this is exactly the kind of idea Light had.
