Our group discussed what we should call our thriller and it was decided that because one of the main themes in our thriller is corruption and deceit, to have a title that reflects and works-around this theme.
We asked peoples opinions on each of the names we thought of and we decided on the one most liked by all.
This is a list of ideas that we came up with:
Sordid Details
Sordid Affairs
Shady Affairs
Twisted Affairs
Twisted Fiction
Twisted Specifics
Sordid Delusions
Tales of Deception
Tales of Deceit
Bad Blood
Finally, we decided on using Bad Blood the name of our thriller.

Soundtrack to Thriller Film
Our first idea for a soundtack to our film is from Sergei Prokofiev's ballet 'Romeo and Juliet', the track being 'Montagues and Capulets'. We thought this piece would fit in well with our film because it is powerful and sinister which would tie in with the betrayal and deception from our film. The soundtrack is a classical piece, giving our thriller a classic style.
Our second idea for the soundtrack was a more modern piece, which is dark and industrial. An example of this might be the soundtrack from the opening sequence of Sin City. If we went with something such as this, our thriller would have a more modern style.

Match on Action, Shot/Reverse shot & 180 degree rule.
Match on action: Occurs when an action continues in another shot. We will be using this in our thriller & continuity project.
Shot/Reverse shot: When characters appear to be looking at each other, but are not.
A basic production technique used during conversations to show each character delivering his or her dialogue. One shot will show character A speaking, while the reverse will show character B.
180 degree rule: The 180° rule is a basic film editing guideline that states that two characters in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle. (here is a picture of the 180 degree rule)
We will definately be using this in our continuity task and thriller film. And then make shooting maps to show this.

Themes, Style, Subgenre and Influences for our thrillers.
Here are the features we want to use in our thriller:
Themes: Deception & betrayal. Love? Romance. Corruption (organised crime), revenge, Loyalty & trust.
Style: Classic & realism.
Subgenre: Mafia/Gangster
Influences: Romeo & Juliet because it is the very basis of our synopsis, The Godfather because this is what we encorporated with Romeo & Juliet and we are also using narrative related ideas from it, such as the switch of protagonist. Chinatown because we used narrative related ideas from the film such as the idea of a slow developing narrative with the main twists coming at the end & Sin City was also because of narrative related ideas in particular the idea of switching protagonists also we liked the elements of film noir in it and we look to incorporate this in our own.
