Title Idea
Font - Dakota Handwriting:

The Lost Son

Our sub-genre is going to crime-thriller as the story is set around a suspected murder.

picture from Black Swan a new thriller. We are going to use a lot of black and white coloured shots with Chiaroscuro lighting (contrasts of dark and light.) this gives a good affect during a flashback as it emphasises the difference between real time and the past.
We are going to use a non-linear narrative showing scenes from the past inter-twined with the harsh reality our character is experiencing. to show our protagonist's feeling of vulnerability we will use point of view shots to enhance the disorientated and confused state of mind of our main character and display this to our audience. we will also use extreme close ups; on our characters eye (a convention of thrillers)

for our music soundtrack we have decided to use a mixture of deep beats to intensify situations, and highly pitched string instruments to add tension and a feeling of suspense.
