Course Work Genre Decisions

As a group we decided that the genre for our opening sequence will be a thriller , when looking through a number of genres we felt that thriller would be the best to do.  from my research I have become very aware of the codes and conventions and what is expected of a thriller and compared to other genres they are the  easy to portray effective to ensure the audience is aware of the genre we  have chosen. src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-tUvZLDvAcQ" width="560">



This applies with the convention we see in many thrillers the hidden identity of the protagonist ,they use a number of different camera shots and techniques to abstract the audience from being able to see his full identity . We are able to see some close ups of parts of his face but they never give away the full identity this adds to the mystery of the film and builds up the tension for the viewers.the way in which they have done this is very clever especially the reflection in the picture and if able to i would like to Incorporated this idea into our opening and feel this is a key convention to a thriller.  The tittle also apply s to the codes and conventions of a thriller with the red and black writing being the main focus and significant colour for a thriller.





The bone collector:

·         Low lighting creating a dark atmosphere

·         Fast paced shots

·         The sound the style of music is similar to many other thrillers such as (saw)+(seven ) with the use of loud noises and strange sounds.

·         Shadows

·         The images of E-rays reinforce the idea of injury and pain
