Mise-en-Scene in our Thriller
Setting:
The second setting we will be showing is a bathroom. Bathrooms are used as conventions of a thriller through the use of mirrors. Also as bathrooms are in quite small spaces it could show the victim feels isolated.
Iconography:
We will have the use of mirrors in our thriller as these are conventional and can be seen as 'evil' This can be shown by someone having two side to them as is portrayed through the use of a mirror. In thrillers you often see the victim gazing in the mirror, looking away for a slight second and seeing something behind them which is usually the villain.
Costumes:
In our thriller we will show the victim wearing white as white is typically viewed as 'good' within a thriller. There are many connotations of white which is why we have decided to use this, as we are also sticking to the conventions of a thriller. White symbolises pure, clean, innocence and vulnerabilty which our character is going to get across to the audience.
We will be showing the antagonist wearing black as it is seen as mostly negative. Black is a dark colour which can also symbolise death,evil and mystery. Our character will not be showing his face which will be seen as a mystery because the audience wont know who it is. It also represents strength and authority, which in the thriller will be seen through the antagonist.
Lighting and colour:
Facial Expression:
The facial expressions that will be shown on the victim will be mainly petrified as she's alone and strange events are happening which makes her think she's not alone. We will show this by having the victim twitch which can be seen as nervousness as well as scared. Her eyes will start to water and appear as if she is about to start crying, they will widen as she is being more aware of what is going on.
Positioning:
One of the positions that the victim will be in is standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom getting ready for bed. The lighting will be high key as its natural lighting in bathrooms. We will film from different angles behind, front, and close ups to catch her facial expressions. We will then see her reflection in the mirror with the villain appearing behind her then disappearing.
Setting:
The first setting that will be seen in our thriller is going to be the victims bedroom. This can be related to the viewer because everyone has a bedroom which will make it seem more realistic.

Lighting and colour:
Throughout our thriller we will have low key lighting to build the tention. The colour of the lighting will change when the victim is in the bathroom as its more of a natural light.
The colour of the font for the credits will be white against a black background which will associate with good and evil. While the victim is in her bedroom there will be low key lighting with only the laptop screen light projecting off of her.
