Planning For Our Thriller!

These are the following ideas we have for our thriller project.

Characters:
Mad man
Detective
Gangsters

Narrative:
He was an undercover detective part of a gang. However, the man became too involved and was cut from the case but decided to continue his investigation through his own methods. Furthermore the man is internally torn between his allegiance to the gang and their lifestyle, and his integral morals and detective background.

Atmosphere:
Inside the room: Dark and dingy. Flickering lights. Minimalistic. Mysterious.
Flashbacks: Desperation. Reminiscent. Quick.

Micro-elements:
Camerawork - A selection of extreme close-ups - close ups - medium shots and long shots to create a feeling of disorientation.
Mise-en-scene - Minimal amount of props in room, only simple items; pen, paper, light, desk, chair. low key lighting.
Editing - Quick and edgy. Unpredictable. Sporadic. creating viewer disorientation.
Sound - dark and dingy sound effects. (dropping of water, wind sound efects, high pitched noises over a low base sound)
Special Effects - Minimal amounts as this may destroy realism. May use 'night-vision' or an archaic effect on flashbacks.
