Our first idea consisted of creating a Bollywood psychological thriller using the the theme of obsession because we thought this would be seen as an appropriate hybrid genre when linking it to the theme of obsession. In addition when looking at some of the conventions of Bollywood films, we found that love and romance was also expected by the audience as either the main or sub-plot in a Bollywood film. Therefore, we came up with a storyline that could bring these two themes together. It includes a male antagonist driven to the point of obsession due to unrequited love for the female protagonist. The reason behind the beginning of this love and obsession could be shown with a flashback. We also discussed some ideas that would modernise the product to relate it to our possible target audience.
Our second idea had similar themes and ideas. It also included the themes of romance and obsession. However, this Bollywood psychological thriller consisted of the male and female characters being in a relationship, and the male antagonist being driven insane due to thinking his lover was having an affair. This would lead to a series of hallucinations and kidnappings.
Problems with making a Bollywood Thriller
Deciding to make our coursework in the style of Bollywood, is very different and unique. This means our product should be original and new. However, there is one main problem we have had to face when considering making a Bollywood inspired film. This is the fact that many Bollywood films are known for their upbeat music and dancing scenes which may not link with the dark tone and mood we may want to create. However, after having done some extra research we have discovered that we could use a slower, mysterious style of Indian music in order to create the correct mood for our coursework. In addition, we discussed how upbeat theatrical dancing would not be appropriate for our opening and if any dancing was to appear in the film it would be more suited to be located towards the end of the film, and therefore, would not feature in our coursework.
