Elijah Witterland Storywriter/Screenwriter Wanted! (Interview) (auto-translated from Dutch Dutch ) Call for Interviews for a Thesis (Storywriter/Screenwriter - Psychological Thriller) For my thesis at the Dutch Filmers Academy (Film and Audiovisual Media), I am looking for a storywriter or screenwriter with experience in (or substantive knowledge of) the thriller genre, preferably psychological thrillers. My thesis focuses on the question: How do narratological and audiovisual choices in the opening of Run (Aneesh Chaganty, 2020) contribute to character identification? In this research I analyze how elements such as: • character introduction • perspective and information dosage • tension build-up • editing, camera work and sound determine in the first minutes of a film who the viewer will sympathize with, who he will trust and where the discomfort arises-a crucial mechanism within the psychological thriller. For my research I am looking for someone who: • has experience with storywriting or screenwriting, • has insight into thriller or psychological suspense, • can reflect on opening scenes, character positioning and suspense, • is prepared to discuss this in an interview (± 45-60 minutes).
