Thriller Planning - Car Boot Shots

Thriller Planning - Car Boot Stills

Here are some stills of the car boot being used in our thriller production taken by me

Here we have a shot taken from inside the boot of the car with the door shut. For our thriller we wanted to experiment with different shots to see how we could make the boot of the car a menacing place. When dealing with the car boot scene we got a lot of inspiration from the scene in Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown.


Here we have a shot taken from inside the boot of the car with the door partially open. This shot allowed a little light from the outside to seep in, this added to the menacing effect and allowed the boot to be illuminated from the outside.

Here we have a shot taken of the inside of the trunk with the door fully opened, the way the light was projected into the boot was really effective here and i hope to achieve this kind of effect with the final shot. In our final shot we will have the femmefatale - the character "Grace Jones" taking out a package/bag from inside the boot - you will not see her face but will be given the impression of her dark intent from the clothing she is wearing.

Here we have a shot taken from inside the boot with a figure standing outside. I wanted to experiment with this to see how effective a shot could be of someone reaching into the boot. I believe that I have got an effective shot here, I like the way the hand is blurred to suggest nauseousness and unease.

  2. Further advice, you need to link all planning to research into the thriller genre; in other words identify thriller texts which informed your ideas.

  3. You explain that the shots related to the car boot are inspired by similar shots in "Jackie Brown", you need to give more detail than this. For example what shots, related to what action and in what part of the film.
