2:AM PRODUCTIONS - THRILLER CONVENTION MOODBOARD
The selection of images are all related to the conventions of a thriller film.
The blood splattered image and gun (prop) represent the violence that commonly occurs in most thriller films.
For example in the movie ‘Saw’ the torturing of the victims is what drives the movie on. Violence in a thriller is usually caused and inflicted by the antagonist. The antagonist in thriller films is frequently shown to be mentally unstable or insane. For this example the image of the man with his face covered in blood smiling is the main character form the thriller ‘American psycho’. Other similar thrillers that include an ‘insane’ antagonist is ‘Silence of the lambs’.
The images in the third row of the hands tied in rope and the female being stalked are commonly used in thriller films if a character has been kidnapped, example of a thriller which plot revolves around it is Taken. It's most common for females in thrillers to be the target. The stereotype in thrillers is that females are the weaker gender either being the target or in rare cases seeking revenge (I spit on your grave).
The image of the dead body is the symbol that there is likely to be death involved in the thriller.
The image of the unknown figure represents the mystery of the antagonist in thriller films.
The identity of the villain is commonly revealed at the end of the movie with clues throughout the films to bring the pieces together.
Police/ detectives (relating to the image of the police car) are usually apart of the plot into uncovering the villain plot.
The final image is of the fire flames which is the representation of the distraction caused in thriller films. (The mood board was created on the Mobil app Photo Quilt)

2:AM PRODUCTIONS - PRELIM FEEDBACK
We decided to ask two students for their feedback so when we do our thriller we have some advice. They liked the shots but thought the conversation wasn't good, but in our thriller we will add more context.

2:AM PRODUCTIONS - LOGO
This is the first draft of our logo. The name "2:AM" was drafted upon the name of us, Alex, Anna and Millie, 2 initials begin with the letter "A" and 1 initial beginning with the letter "M"therefore forming "2AM". We have used the font of an alarm clock to associate with the name 2:AM in terms of the time. using the bright colour green it draws the eye and makes our logo stand out. Overall I believe that our logo concept is a good representation of our company and the participants within it.
