The name of our thriller is.....

The name of our thriller is COUNTERPLAY, the dictionary definition of Counterplay is

A threat or offensive position in chess intended to counter an opponent's advantage in another part of the board.

Counterplay is also a synonym for avenging. This is effective to the audience as it makes them wonder about what might happen after the opening sequence and how the revenge might take place. Counter play suggests that something will be retaliated, it also makes the audience think about whether it will be positive or negative and who it might involve.

Revenge also connotes that something will happen to the antagonist. That revenge will be taken against him for what you see in the first opening two minutes of our thriller.

 The word play connotes a game which could be considered as fun, but it also gives it a macabre menacing feel to it because life, and what you see in our thriller, is not a game.

The word ‘play’ in the title is also ironic, this is because its suggesting a game, however, as it is a thriller the audience will know that the word is juxtaposed as the film is dark rather than fun like a game. On the other hand the revenge at the end of the film could be seen as a reward which you usually get at the end of game.

The fact that it has cross cuts to a game of chess links to the name because it is  a chess move and the cross cuts will create tension.                                                                                                                                                                                This was decided as a whole group.
