Our genre is psychological thriller in a way. This means that it follows someone’s story while giving an insight into their mind and follows a story that way. Themes of psychological thrillers are commonly guilt and obsession. The plot of ours will sway more towards guilt, this is the guilt of Sister Judith of losing her way and being excommunicated.
This then follows a common plot of other psychological thrillers because it follows common conventions of other psychological thrillers, for example Shutter Island which follows the guilt of a man who murdered his wife.
Our main plot line is established in small shots which are displayed through the opening title sequence. This shows aspects of what is going to happen without giving too much of the plot line away. In some ways it also demonstrates Sister Judith’s ties to the past and how it’s affected her current mantle state and her present.
Further to this the monologue Sister Judith uses this to open up her story and also tell the audience some of the plot line. This is similar to other films it gives you a small insight into her mind. This is shown in films like a clockwork Orange, use of an unnerving voice-over of a ruthless sociopathic killer and rapist ends in you almost feel compassion for the character.
Our film doesn’t follow a linear plot line. Flash backs are used throughout in order to tell the story of Sister Judith and how she essentially “lost her way” or was “lead astray” by Father Abraham and also to tell many stories of her past.
Our film uses many high angles to demonstrate dominance, in lots of ways this is very true to regular films. The way it demonstrates the dominance of religion and Father Abraham
