Treatment
movie title: The last Move
Outline
The protagonist is walking towards a entrance towards an estate with suspenseful music and an over the shoulder shot and small shot to create suspense. there is then a long shot of the protagonist going into the estate further, (the face hasn't yet been revealed much yet). while walking through the estate further there is then a close up of the protagonists face as he is walking up to a door with a serious face. As he gets to the door there is then a close up on the protagonist taking a bag from another person , however the other characters face isn't shown as there body is behind a wall. The protagonist then takes the bag and walks away as the music starts to become more upbeat, he then turns a corner where he is faced by a group of youths who start to chase him, at this point the upbeat music then reaches its climax. The shots then become more erratic as the protagonist is running through the estate being chased with on beat editing making the scenes more pleasing to the eye. The music then becomes that similar to a horror as a jump scare is anticipated. The protagonist then starts to slow down in the corner of the estate where he then hides with his back against the wall as a close up shot shows his face as behind the wall can also be seen as one of the youth who are looking for him can also be seen doing so. The shot afterwards then shows the protagonist looking out of the hiding place into the surrounding area as another shot shows a panning of the area with no one there. As the protagonist comes out there is a short close up of his face, the jump scare then occurs with the protagonist being attacked as the camera turns shaky and is blurred as the screen fades black and the music dies down with "the last move" then being displayed across the black screen before being dissolved into black.
Target Audience:

Age:
15-30
Genre:

Duration:

Location and Requirements:

what is it about thrillers that you like?
I like thrillers due to their versatility and flexible nature that they can have during the composition. The fact that a thriller could have a comedy sub-genere next to one which has a horror such-genre and still give me the feelings that i love the most such as suspense, mystery and enigma is what i find entertaining the most.
what is your favourite thriller sub-genre?
My favourite thriller sub-genre is a psychological sub-genre since most of the conflict within the film is mental and the protagonists sanity is literally threateed as well as this the psych of the characters are down to the audiences to decipher making them come up with their own reasons for the reason why a character acted in such a way.
whats your favourite thriller film and why?
My favourite film is called "circle"where people awake in an arena (alien created) standing up and if they move they die, they soon realise that the beeping count down kills someone every one minute but they can speed it up by voting with their hands who dies and who survives while people lie and try to stay alive as well as determine who deserves to die by questioning each other (people such as children, pregnant women and and parents last longer and those who are found out to be homosexual, racist, have felines as well as just being old tend to die faster).
what don't you like about thrillers?
In thrillers i don't like the fact that directors feel obligated to create a large amount of jump scares as if it were a horror, thrillers don't necessarily have to be scary and the fact that most thrillers have this as well as large amounts of action scenes is a large misconception that i dint really like although it can sometimes be appealing to the eye.

Lighting Analysis
lighting in films, if used correctly can add to themes, storyline or even help in character development. Lighting can also help foreshadow in whats happening next, conceal secrets as well as to just help build some sort of feeling in the audience like suspense.
Lights out- This uses lighting very effectively by putting extra lights in the forefront to take the focus off the protagonist and make the audience recognise the dark figure in the front. The scene could be considered as low key lighting and because of this it makes the audience assume something dangerous is about to happen. The room being empty and with one of the figures being completely blacked out and in the shadows adds to the enigma effect of the scene.
12 years a slave- The use of lighting in this scene may seem vey basic but through utilising the lighting for a focal point and to cast shade on an empty space, it creates a focal point for the scene and makes the audience focus on the chained man even more then he would if the whole room was lit this helps us focus on the protagonist more so his emotions, feelings as well as physical state can be fully analysed by the audience.
