Film synopsis feedback

'Genre Horror, psychological horror maybe?
Villain needs to be explained and explored more to make more of a psychological film.
How will it end? a damaged person escapes, moves on, but always looks over her shoulder? Villain gets away?
Are their reasons behind the hostage?'


'Thriller psychological?
Enigma - will she escape? Why does he do this?
Will we get insights into their pasts. Does she get taken early on - if so, most of the drama is how they interact. Look at kiss of the spider woman
End - could be good if 1 kills the other? Or if he becomes completely destroyed by her?'


'Genre - thriller, horror
Remind me of Lovely bones
Mise - dark, disturbing
Appeals - narrative
Want the film to end - justice, neighbour caught and girl safe.
Trailer foreground - neighbour holding her hostage
Questions raised - What happened to her? why is he doing this?'


'Thriller, horror
How will you film this?
Lovely bones, tortured
Dark features and artificial light
develop conventions - will she die?
I would want her to escape but perhaps only just - maybe attempted murder? a bit different'


'The genre is drama/realistic, thriller
I'd want the film to end on a good note - escapism.
Inspirations - the lovely bones
Sinister feel about it.
Intense mood - plays with all three conventions - mood, character, narrative'


'Horror, thriller
Sense of community about neighbourhood? or strong feeling of no.
Need detail around main character. Why is he obsessed?
Questions need to be asked to draw audience in the trailer.
Ending - woman breaks free, challenge conventions.'


'meant to confuse audience?
Ending - do we know what happens?
Do we get justification for what he has done'

This feedback shows me that I need to think more in dept of my villians personality and work on how I will portray him. Also explain in the trailer why or how he came to be obsessed with the main character. Most of the feedback suggests that the audience wants the girl to break free, but as this is a physchological thriller so I want the audience at the end of the trailer to not know if she breaks free or not.
