I have chosen the title 'The Lodger' as I feel it is intriguing to the audience and relevent to the narrative of my thriller. It is intriguing, as it makes the audience wonder who the lodger is and why he is so important to the film. It is also relevent to the story, as the killer in the film is Abigail's lodger. He is a very significant character. This title also integrates with the genre of my film, as it is a thrilling title and leaves the audience wondering why the 'Lodger' is so significant.
I am using the soundtrack Rite Of Spring by Stravinsky. I have chosen this soundtrack as it builds up suspense in perfect timing with the build up of suspense in my thriller. It uses violins, which I think are very effective in building tension. The high pitch dramatic violins connote the stabbing of Abigail very effectively. Psycho (the inspiration for my thriller) also use high pitch violins in the stabbing scene, I thought this worked brilliantly and therefore looked for a soundtrack that involoved violins. In many ways I think the soundtrack represents Scott (the lodger), as it's innocent and peaceful to begin with but by the end it becomes strong and corruptive- which is what happens to Scott's character.
