Thriller Analysis




Micro Elements:

Editing:


  • Fade in's and out's were used to make a smoother progression throughout the film
  • the jump cuts used at the start of the video build the tension and suspense at the start of the video, it also develop the narrative to show that something serious is going down.

Sound:

  • At the start the music is good because it creates suspense and is a fast tempo but as it does not change throughout the film which ruins the suspense because its builds the audience up but nothing happens
  • Lack of dialogue means there is not a very good narrative
Mise en scene:

  • Good use of props including drugs and phones to help form the story and make it more believable and realistic
  • Costumes where typical drug dealer clothes like hoodies and trackies.
  • The locations used in the car park with the dark lighting help to represent the thriller genre of the video aswell
Cinematography:

  • close up of person washing his hands helps to represent the genre of a thriller but was not really linked to the storyline very well
  • over the shoulder shot of person creates suspense and mystery because you dont know who he is
  • point of view camera shot was used to develop the narrative as it shows to the audience that he got away
  • The still shots that were used in the car park in the video were a bad thing about the video as it was meant to be a fast tempo to create tension and make the audience nervous when it infact did the opposite.
  • the long shot which is supposed to develop the narrative is pointless because it does not do anything
Special effects:

  • The stunt in our film was a fight scene which was supposed to develop the narrative but was not very believable and not very well explained
