EVENTS DIARY BLOG

Events that inspire a thriller film:

• Mother charged with Toddlers' murder- (A mother is charged with murdering her two young children and their bodies were found in the boot of a car).
  

This can inspire an event for a thriller as the film can show exactly how she prepared herself for the killing and this could add suspense and build the audience up to the real event and hope to give them a thrill. It can also allow sympathy from the audience as they will not want her to kill her two toddlers. The film can be based on her plot of murder, making the film come from her point if view and the film can have cross cuts between what she is doing and what the toddlers are doing. This can create a sense of how they are connected and give out clues that something wrong will happen to the toddlers who can be shown as very innocent playing with their toys; also making the audience more sympathetic and the film more tense just like in 'United 93'.

• Haiti Earthquake: Thousands Feared Dead- (Thousands of people are feared dead after a powerful earthquake struck Haiti's capital, leaving tens of thousands homeless and buried beneath rubble).

This is another event which can inspire a thriller film. this thriller film can show the lives of people in Haiti before the earthquake, showing them living normal, happy lives with their family, friends and loved ones. This can connote that something wrong is about to take place just like in 'Deja Vu', and it can go onto being a build up to the main event causing suspense. When the earthquake hits Haiti, the film can portray the pain and emotions of those who ares suffering and show devastating scenes such as a house with families inside collapsing, allowing the audience to feel emotional and shocked by the main event.

• Katie Price's man wins the final Celebrity Big Brother(CBB)- (Katie Price's cage fighter boyfriend Alex Reid beats her ex Dane Bowers to win the last Celebrity Big Brother).

This can inspire a thriller film as Dane Bowers could plot revenge on Alex Reid for taking the crown as the winner of CBB and also connoting that the best man won and that he is probably a better boyfriend to Katie Price than Dane ever was. The jealousy that Dane Bowers feels might make him angry and try to kill or get rid of Alex Reid for good as he might feel challenged by Alex. This can be shown for example as Alex boasting about his success and close-up shots shown of Dane's facial expressions indicating that he is patient now but will not be for long. The boasting can show that there is something that Dane is not happy about, making him want to do the main event. This can also add suspense as the audience may be thinking what it is exactly that he wants to do and whether he is really going to do it.
