Psychological thriller's can described as a sub-genre that ranges from thriller to horror genres. Yet it still includes elements from the genres of mystery and drama.
When planning our opening sequence, we picked to produce a psychological thriller film as we felt it was a challenging but interesting genre. Also, we felt it would be something different and we could produce an original yet intriguing story-line to create.
Psychological thrillers focus on characters that are no longer able to control their minds and cannot rely on their physical strength. Many end up using their minds and consciousness to control their actions and thoughts. Suspense and tension is created through this and many psychological thrillers are used to keep the audience on the edge of their seats by adding mystery to the story-lines.
First person narrative is commonly used in psychological thrillers to give the audience a first hand account on the situation in the film. This makes the character more involved and thus makes the audience relate to the protagonist on a more personal level. In our opening sequence, a voice over is heard of the young girl talking to herself. This shows her instability as a character and her thoughts are directly heard by the audience.
