Research

This lesson our task was to research similar films to our idea. As our thriller is psychological, I began by typing 'top psychological thrillers' into google and then had a look through the results.

I initially started looking at the 'Dexter' trailers as they have an excellent use of inner thoughts, and I loved the way that Dexter zones out and stares just right of the camera when his inner thoughts are being shown. I think using this in our film would work really well.

I then came across a film from 2002 called, 'May'. It is about a girl who is trying to create a friend. In this she talks about their body parts being nice. Totally coincidently, that is exactly what we want our lead male to be doing in his inner thoughts. The difference with 'May' is she tells the person that she likes their legs, for example. Whereas with ours, he will be keeping it all a secret. Left is the 'May' trailer, from 1:22-1:27 is a perfect example of a chracter lusting over body parts.
