The document discusses the opening scene of a short film called "Lift" that subverts stereotypes. A woman is shown walking down a corridor towards a lift, while tracking shots reveal she is the killer. When she and a man enter the lift together, the power cuts out and strange noises are heard before the man is stabbed through the roof by an unknown assailant. When the lift reaches the bottom, only blood remains.

1. ‘ Lift’

5. Locations… Dining room lift because it is small and enhances the effect of claustrophobia. Dining room lift, buttons, close up of buttons because it creates more tension in the scene

6. Visual themes and styles… This is one of the shots I am going to have in my thriller. It is a high angle shot which shows the vulnerability of him in the lift. It almost make the audience feel that their in the lift. Below is the woman who is going to be the killer in my Thriller, and the man who is going to be the victim. The woman is going to be dressed in white to show her innocents, however this is subverted by her holding a knife. The man is in a suit because it signifies that he is a working man and he is going to be going home at the end of the day.
