Thriller Narritive
In this lesson, I learnt about the difference between mystery and suspense. I learnt what linear, non-linear and restricted and omniscient means and I also started thinking about what my preliminary scene will be about, after our teacher gave us the title "6 Ways to Kill your Husband".
Mystery means that there is an interlectual process where no information is given. It is the ultimate game of "Who done what?".
Suspense means that there is an emotional process where only a little information is given to make the audience understand what is happening from the beginning.
Omniscient means that the audience knows what is going to happen, when the characters do not. It is a little like dramatic irony.
Restricted means that the audience do not know what is going to happen, so anything that happens comes as a big shock.
Linear means that the story goes from beginning to middle to end.
Non-linear means that the story doesnt go in the right order. So there might be flashbacks of the past.
Synopsis
Lara Richman, an attractive accountant, has a hidden secret. She has had 5 husbands that have all met tragic ends in mysterious circumstances. After the 6th honeymoon, she arrives home to police at her front door. She is taken in for questioning, but starts to feel guilty and keeps having emotional flashbacks of herself and her past husbands. This leads her to admit her murders, but just before she admits to the latest murder, a strange dark figure walks into the interrogation room, and hands her something. She then later escapes.
