I wanted to use a lot of key concepts for the plot using several conventions from the genres and sub genres of my opening sequence; this included using one tradition key conventions from a thriller genre. This is the main way we define genre if you can really define genre. Thrillers tend to have an obvious villain at the start but by the end of the film, the character the audience thinks is the antagonist at the start they realise is the protagonist by the end. The plot I think was a key part of deciding what to do with the opening sequence and make sure it would make sense by the end of the film if it was really made. I really like the plot it has a post modern idea of there being a nihilism character of the stalker, this idea give a character no limits, someone that believes in nothing, has nothing to lose. This means his ruining her life due to his infatuation is nothing but getting what he wants. This idea goes against the modernist view of a happy world, where good things happen to good people. I wanted to also challenge other genre theory’s by making a femme fatale character that also has a heart.
