Product Research: Disturbia (2007)



Over the holidays I watched Disturbia and I was quite interested in how the events turned out to be as the opening was not as enthralling in the sense of a generic Thriller. But I really liked the film as it included an antagonist who is portrayed as being very discreet and mysterious thus creating suspension. As the film is through the main protagonist's view (Kale) it allows the audience's opinions to be 'bias' as immediately we assume that the secretive next door neighbour is up to no good. The film was interesting as it included main thriller conventions such as a serial killer which creates enigma until the plot is revealed. This film gave me some ideas that we could include in making our own thriller opening such as having an enigmatic stalker and/or kidnapper by portraying them in ambiguous ways such as dark lighting and quick cuts to not reveal their face such shown in also the opening of Se7en.
