The Shinning
The corridor scene. I analysed this scene to help me understand the way in which it is possible to shot a moving shot in a corridor that feels trapped and claustrophobic. The corridor is also hauted by the ghosts of the massacred family and explores the young boys supernatural/paranormal abilities. The music is very unsetteling and causes the audience to anticipate something horrific is about to happen. This anicipation is more frightening than the actual event itself.

Witches tormented up to the blood
It is a video which suits to the idea of a witch in the 17th century. Witches in this time were scared and tormented until they almost died. This is an inspiration for the whole film, not the sequence.

Video for our Thriller idea
The Blair Witch Project
This final scene reminds me on the scene in our thriller movie. The wall with all the hands of the children is quite impressive and scary.

Pictures for our thriller idea
For our coursework we were supposed to search for pictures, videos, etc. for our Thriller idea to have a better image of the idea.
The pictures are things that helped me to see the thriller idea more clearly.
The first is a long corridor with doors at the sides. This is where the girl is going through.
The second picture is the wall with hands on it. This makes the idea more real. The video The Blair Witch Project makes this picture even more scary.
The third picture is a red hair woman who has green eyes. In the 17th century women with red hair and green eyes were killed. This woman looks like our imagination of the character.

First group meeting of the idea and Synopsis of the Thriller idea
After the class all voted for specific ideas,our production groups were formed. Our inital meeting as a group involved an indepth discussion of the overall synopsis for the movie and a dicussion of the content of our opening scene. The idea developed significantly as we considered how to make it more generically authentic and engaging the audience.
To begin we aussumed the scene starts with a close up of a girl's hands building a wall in the dark. Voice over in the background: 'good fences make good neighbours' (repeated over & over). Jump cuts to a girl about age 16-18 waking up in a white room. Camera tracks out to wide shot, revealing that the girl is strapped to her bed, in a mental institution. Camera tracks forward into the girl's eye, as if going into her mind. We see a shot of her trapped in a long white corridor. She opens doors along the corridor but behind each door is just a wall.
She is screaming-runs through a bright light at the end of the corridor. Jump cuts to another shot of her in bed, screaming again. However after further discussion we came up with the following synopsis.
A synopsis helps us to understand the situation of the characters.
Synopsis
The story is set in 17th century England, a time when catholism ruled. The main protagonist is a girl, between the ages of 16 to 20. She is of Irish nationality, living n England and is very beautiful, with red hair and bright green eyes. Indimidated and frightened by her beauty, intelligence and the fact that her father mysteriously disappeared, leaving her alone, the other villages accuse her of being a witch and abuse her thraving nocks on her when she walks down the street. Tormented by this cruel treatment, the girl decides to isolate herself from the rest of the world, building a metaphorical wall around herself. This story is a flashback into the past which takes place after the opening sequence, shaving how this girl came to be the way she is.
