In todays lesson we were introduced to the new brief which was to create the following: The titles and opening of a new fiction film, to last maximum of 2 minutes. We was also handed our As Media Mmark scheme and discussed as a class that every part of the brief mentioned above needs to be at a excellent standard grding level 4's in each Research, Planning, Practical work and Evaluation.
We then expolred the conventions of a thriller, after establishing the difference between a thriller and a horror as they are very similar. An example of a major difference between the two genres was as followed; Thrillers have crime and murders withing but the audience is prevented from seeing this. The audience is made to feel scared and have to interpret what happened or is happening themselves. They need to be wanting t ask lot of questions and work out the mysteries alone(for a more sophisticated viewer).
Horrors on the other hand, make it very clear to the audience their murder and grime scenes, with extremely exaggerated movement. The audience is able to take it all in at once and not need to work anything out (for a less sophisticated viewer).
The conventions of a thriller:
- Jumpy at times
- Unexpected
- Suspence / Tension
- Up tempo music / Eary
- Spies / Detectives
- Dark / Night time
- Violence
- Questions?
- Shock
- Mist / Fog
- Crime
- Victims
- Actions
- Intelllegent / Sophisticated characters
- Split personalities
