Comments on The Phoenix Affair- Script and Synopsis

In General

  • The lighting in the background will be quite low which makes it tense.
  • There will be many close up of props which is usually used in thiller films
  • Limited Information will be revealed to the audience, as they will see parts of different scenes which will not make much sense at the beginning about what is going on and why it's going on
  • The character of Jimmy Fox looks directly at the camera which directly engages the attention of the audience and connect the audience and the character together. In addition the main target audience is 16-19 year olds and Jimmy is a 17 year old so again the audience can relate to Jimmy easily
  • There will be short dialogue between characters which increase the speed which again creates tension
  • In the last scene, there are intense and sinister looks between Jimmy Fox and Arthur Foster which creates more enigmas about the relationship between them

    Inside the headmasters office- 1st scene


At the beginning the audience sees footsteps walking away and the scene is quite dark. This creates suspense because the lighting is dark. Also that there is a dead body in the headmasters room and instead of helping or trying to finds out what is going on the person is walking away. There is also medicine/pills/drugs in the charaters hand which seems that he has commit suicide so if he has they why was a character in the room and didn't stop him. Futhermore the audience cannot see who the person is which creates enigmas such as who is this? why is he/she walking away? what happened inside the room the moment before?
