Developed Thriller Idea Reasons
We chose the 'Last man standing' idea for our thriller because we thought he captured the zeitgeist of current times and reflect a darker alternate side of society. We changed the name to 'Friendly Fires' because the show is about members of society killing other members of society. We edited it slightly so that its now the outcasts of society who are pitted against each other. Set about 10 years in the future when there is a more facist rule and even bad habits are now considered crimes. For example, smoking, homeless single mother, Immigrant. The show takes after reality tv, its a glamourous cover for actually a much more sickening type of game. The contestants are people that society deems a drain on the economy and society.
This is a shot from X factor, we used this show for influence in the reality gloss tv that we want to recreate.

Analysis of Thriller opening sequence
The non diegetic music creates tension and keeps us on edge throughout. We see someone flicking through a book we cant see which makes us edgy because we can't tell what he's doing. When we see the picture of his hands we can see that they look unnatural which makes us fearful because it subverts our expectations of normal hands and a normal person. When he cuts off his fingertips we are made tense because its not an image anyone likes seeing and it reveals the sado-masochism side to his nature. The credits let us know which actors are in the film and are there to help publicise the film with big name actors like Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt.
