Convulsion
Our group have made a decision that our final thriller is going to be called Convulsion. The word Convulsion is a medical condition where body muscles contract and relax rapidly and repeatedly, resulting in an uncontrolled shaking of the body. Convulsions are also consistent with an electric shock. The term "convulsion" is often used interchangeably with "seizure," although there are many types of seizures, some of which have subtle or mild symptoms instead of convulsions. Seizures of all types are caused by disorganized and sudden electrical activity in the brain. Convulsions usually last from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. However, if a seizure is prolonged, or if multiple seizures happen and the person doesn't awaken in between, this is a medical emergency. It can be caused by different things such as choking, epilepsy and head injury.
We decided that we wanted to use this word due to the fact that out thriller consists of quick small scenes, which show our main character collecting mysterious objects from various victims. Also, by a convulsion being a medical emergency it creates a tense atmosphere for the audience, making them feel on edge. It fits in with our theme very effectively as we have based it round a horror theme, using spooky music and a scary location. So occurring convulsions during our 2 minute thriller will engage the audience and make them question why these convulsions are happening and whether the victims are going to make it out safe. The experience the victims are going to have with the main character are going to be things associated with torture, so convulsions match this ideally.
First of all 'Convulsion' was the title of thriller, but we done a lot of research on what this word actually meant and realised it doesn't fit in with the theme of our thriller as much as we would like. We have re-considered our title with various names and now have a new one.
