    The document discusses the filmmaker's ideas for their horror thriller genre film project. They chose this genre combination to incorporate a wide range of techniques from both horror and thriller films. Horror focuses on graphic violence and fear while thrillers create suspense. The filmmaker wants to leave the audience questioning what will happen next. They provide examples from films like The Strangers that use masked characters to pique viewers' interest. When creating their own film, the filmmaker wants to use shallow depth of field to draw attention to key elements and include moodboard examples from films like The Blair Witch Project and The Strangers to illustrate title and poster design techniques.

    My initial ideas
    The genre of film I have chosen is a horror thriller. I have chosen to do this
    because it is different. Using two genres gives a wider range of techniques
    and ideas that I could use.

    Horror in my opinion is based around blood, death and gore and shows intense
    and profound fear. Whereas, a thriller would show more suspense and
    adventure. The reason I have chosen a horror thriller is because I would like
    the audience to ask a lot of question; What was that? What's going to
    happen next?. In a horror thriller (for example The strangers) The main
    characters are masked. In films when you see somebody with a mask on
    you take an immediate interest into those kind of characters.

    When creating my final piece I would like to give my piece a shallow depth of
    field when I am trying to attract all of the viewers attention to the main
    subject i.e.; tree, house , person or a signpost.
