Thriller brainstorm: Rationale: Chene Harris Brain storm: Asylum Characters that I have chosen are a mentally ill patient and a news reporter. I chose the mentally ill patient as one of the characters because he gives off a crazy unfit sense of feeling and us as the audience get more curious as to what he may get up to in the next few scenes. The news reporter being character two was chosen because a news reporter gives off an alert or a curious sense of feeling as to what she may be publishing, especially since the news reporter is on her own in an asylum... I based my scenes inside of an asylum because I feel that an asylum in the middle of the night is quite scary but not too scary for a horror. The asylum also gives off that crazy mental sense of feel. During scene one we start off by listening and watching water drop from a pipe onto the ground from quite a distance away, as the camera moves closer the droplets become more visible and they become louder.

I would suggest spending some more time showing the razor Zach is washing. Try to find more close-ups of each shot you're doing.
Shot-reverse-shot needs to be more obvious. What you have now doesn't really cut it.
Title - be intentional about where you place it, what font you use and how it moves on and off the screen.
After effect - make sure you use at least one in your final edit.
