The reason i have picked this video is due to where its set, an apartment which contains a generic thriller destination this being somewhere neglected and left pretty bare . elements like the dark surroundings of the apartments content and grey scale background and the filter used also contributes to the mood of the video which is clearly a sadder more darker one,the apartment seems pretty derelict and isolated and clearly not a home for anyone.its old furniture of which is in there is dated and worn out,ripped wall paper makes you want to know more like; who lived here? where is this place? why did they leave and abandoned this place?why is there been things left here? and these are all questions a want viewers of my thriller opening to ask as the un answered questions add to the suspense and un known. these elements are key to a successful thriller.therefore i want to find or create a place with simular ideas and infulences to the one used in this video. All the photos below i have screen shotted from the video.
The funiutre you can see in these three fames are all plain,dated and pretty random, giving the idea of no cared about this pace or that no one has lived there for a long time.
These three frames show generic places of a thriller somewhere dark,plain,quiet and abandoned.
This girl also shows a generic thriller convention of using children to show a possessed soul ect.
Here is the music video
