3. Idea
 The idea would be that the protagonist sees herself as a
victim, murdered, in a dream, suggested that it happens in the
future. She wakes up and starts getting paranoid and she gets
flashing images that shows how objects can be used to kill
her. She goes out in an attempt to clear her mind, but little
does she know that she is being followed. Or is she?

4. Meeting opening sequence conventions
 The opening sequence will meet several conventions. First of
all, it will include title, cast and director of the film. It will include
an exciting peak that will end in a cliffhanger which leaves the
audience in a thrill. The opening sequence will not give away
the entire narrative of the rest of the film, but it will allow the
audience to develop own theories of how the narrative will be
developing and how the film may end.

5. Meeting thriller genre
 The idea will create a thrill among the audience with
cliffhangers, tension and exciting peaks which is the main
conventions of the thriller genre. It will also include objects
used as weapons, further touches the conventions of violence
and death. The theme of this idea is also identity which is a
very common theme in thrillers. It is set in a suburban area
and is filmed and edited with results of low key lighting and
shadows. The dream is a result of non-continuity and a
‘flashforward’. Change of time is a convention that often
occurs in thriller genres.

6. Film certificate
 The film will be rated with the 12 film certificate because its
mood is very dark and tense based on psychological matters
that younger children may not understand, thus making it
fearful. It will contain explicit violence and also strong
language, but only to a certain degree. Scenes with intoxicants
will also occur which is not appropriate content for someone
aged below 12 years.

7. Marketing
 This film will mostly be marketed online, through social mass
medias in particular such as facebook and twitter. It will have
its own website and facebook page to promote the film, and
also release thrillers, promos and some behind-the-scenes
clips on youtube to spread the word about this upcoming this
production.

8. Research
 I have previously conducted research by analysing opening
sequences and thrilling sequences in the thriller genre, and also
research on common and reoccuring elements, conventions,
character representation and themes related to the thriller genre to
secure a production that is closely related to the norms of a thriller,
while being outstanding in its narrative. I have also conducted
research on production, distribution and exhbitions of films and film
certificates to know what a film production includes and on what
basis the film will get a rating on to follow the guidelines to make the
production appropriate for my target audience.
