Introduction to thrillers, using past examples.

The next lesson we looked at past thrillers to help us establish common themes and things that come up in thrillers. We always looked at effective shot angles and sounds and mise-en-scene and ones which werent so effective. We also talked about the fact that a thriller is a wide genre with different sub genres which can overlap. Action, Horror, Crime, Medical, Physcological, spy. Thrillers are known to thrill and suspend the audience and often have people who are:
Spies
Lone figures aganist the systema
ssasination
conspiracy etc

I thought this opening to a thriller was very effective, the music immeadiately helped created the chilling atmosphere and suspended us to believe something was building up to happen. I also found the quick shots very effectively, they changed from different shots always keep your attention and focus on what was going on.
