Psychological films that are like what we are wanting to make - Emma Irwin

These are some examples of films that are like what we are wanting to do:

Secret window: 

This is a psychological thriller about a man who has gone/who is going crazy. This fits in with the concept of our film as the main character will have schizophrenia and will begin seeing things other people won't be able to see.

There are a lot of close up shots in the film and the use of eyes play an important role. This is because, in thrillers eyes can show a lot of emotion and some people may find eyes unsettling as they begin to feel exposed or like they are having to lean back.

The iconography of the film is mainly darkness, eyes and shovels. In our film we may include close ups of eyes and the use of different lighting. Also, we might use knives and blood to make the piece more psychological.
