conspiracy

Numerous thrillers involve an element of conspiracy within their narratives. A prime example of a film we drew significant influences from was Shutter Island. As well as conspiracy, themes of mental instability and insanity are also prominent throughout this movie, similar to our own film. The conspiracy involved in Shutter Island revolves around an investigation into the disappearence of one of the institute's patients, as well as into the possibility of extreme lobotomies being conducted on the patients. Suspense and shock is created as certain twists are exposed throughout the narrative of the movie. Whilst some may have been predictable, the combination of the themes of psycholgical illnesses and conspiracy allow this film to successfully keep the audience's interest engaged throughout the film. To ensure that our own film will be successful in keeping an audience interested in what they are viewing, we felt it would also be a good idea to implement and combine these themes in our own film idea.

Conspiracy is also a main factor in the film Angels and Demons. It focuses on Illuminati conspiracies against the Catholic Church . In a similar way to Shutter Island, Angels and Demons creates suspense as the audience follow the main character on a journey to uncover the mysteries.
