Based on my theme of crime thriller, I have decided to film an interrogation scene and have researched this type of scene in other crime thrillers to generate inspiration for my work. Originally I wanted to use two scenes in my work and a wider range of characters, however I was restricted by the length of the scene and therefore I chose a more simplistic scene of two characters exchanging dialogue.
Original Idea:
- Suspect is a teenage boy
- The detective is enquiring about his younger sister who has gone missing
- A flashback is used to show the young girl with her brother and a mysterious character who takes her.
- The setting of the flashback is night-time in the woods.
- The flashback ends and we re-enter the scene of the detective and the suspect.
The flaws I found in this idea were the length of time and lack of depth to the plot. Therefore I decided to add more emphasis to the dialogue and the characters rather than an over-complicated storyline, which could lead to confusion. I also incorporated a convention of thriller in my plot by using dark lighting.
