Script da lip
- 1. Script for voice over. The title of the film wording of the title and genre narrative implications “The title of the film is called Morvor. The name comes from the Estonian translation for Murder. The idea behind this is that Frank’s, (who is one of the main characters) surname is Morvor. For the audience, it portrays a underlining darkness about the character that leads the audience to feel negatively about Frank’s character as the audience may think there is something that is fundamentally wrong with him as his own name suggests terrible things about him. This fits well with the genre that we are trying to portray (which is detective thriller) as the names of most films within this genre will have a negative meaning. For example, the film “Prisoner” uses a word that suggests, captivity, brutality, darkness etc… This is meant to reflect the story plot and genre of this detective thriller. The placement of the title in the teaser trailer is set towards the end. It comes after the narrative titles which help build up tension towards the end of the trailer. The whole trailer builds to a climax which ends with the title. By placing the title at the end of the climax, the audience will remember the title as it is the first shot that comes into view after there has been a switch from tension to relief. This idea is used by by most films across the majority of film genres. The font size of the film title is meant to be much larger than previous titles in the teaser trailer. From my research, it is clear that my increasing the size of the film title then it will provide a bigger impact on the audience. This idea is also relevant with the style and font of the film title.By changing the style and font of the title, makes a bigger impression on the audience in comparison to the narrative fonts. setting/location- costumes and props- For our genre, (detective thriller) the most popular choice of clothing was a combination of smart causal clothing, consisting of jeans, shirt and coat for the men and similar for the female characters. I can see from our analysis the film “prisoners” that the clothing used for the main characters matched our idea of our film. Our film and Prisoners have both been shot recently, meaning the style of clothing was similar as well. But even similar films dating back to the late 80s such as “The silence of the Lamb”, main characters such as Hannibal and the female detective wear clothing that are similar to what aimed for. However Hannibal wears a very basic prison one piece. This may have been done to distinguish the difference the protagonist and antagonist characters in the film. The props used for this genre are usually representative of the types of characters that are being portrayed. For example, in the film prisoner, the main character (the father of the missing child) is seen with a gun. This object represents power and aggressiveness which is appropriate for this character as it shows his desperation to find his child. In our film we didn't use any props that helped with supporting the main characters image, we did this

Camerawork- For detective thriller films, the use of the camera work, especially in the past 10 years, is distinct and unique to other genres. From analysing films such as “The silence of the Lambs’, “Prisoner” there is huge emphasis on close up shots on main characters, especially between conversations. The idea behind the dominance of close up shots in detective thriller films is to provide and sense of tension without the audience noticing. We tried to copy this
