Analysis of Foreign Thriller Film

Feedback from Amar & Tanya

Things to improve:

• Need to add more music underneath the opening sequence to build up the ending music
• Establishing shots/introduction to psychiatrist as this scene is only one shot and is 1 minute long, so we need to keep the audience interested.
• More questions from psychiatrist
• Ending is trailer-like

Positive feedback:

• Good camera shots and cuts (camera remains focused on the victim during the psychiatrist scene)
• Good acting (psychiatrist scene)
• Good sound, works well with the cuts (ending)
• Ending is trailer-like (makes you want to keep watching)

Feedback from Class

From the classes feedback we can identify that we need to incorporate a lot more detail in our posts, like adding opinions, more pictures with captions, videos and reasons for why we have put the pictures on our blog. We also need too post more analysis of thrillers to show we have better understanding of the genre. Other things we need to include are; story board, thriller poster, analysis of thriller and certification. We have used good technical language in our posts but we could use more of them to make our posts more detailed and show we have a better understanding of what we are writing.

Location Ideas

Test Shots

This is a shot we could possibly use for the victim being followed through the woods.

This is a shot of some paint on a tree that could be used to represent blood.

This is a shot where the victim could be followed.

This is a shot of where the killer could hide.

This is a shot under the bridge, we took this because we thought it looked spooky.

This is another shot of under the bridge, possible where the villain could organise his crimes.

This is shot from high up looking down into the woods.

This id s point of view shot.

This is a shot of the victims feet.

Supernova Studios Logo One

This is our first logo idea.

It is effective because it implies that Paramount is on top of the world - the logo is on top of mount everest. Paramount also means that it is the most important, or of high importance.

The International

The opening scene to 'The International' uses a mixture of music and mise-en-scene to make you feel very uneasy and vulnerable. One reason is because you are very disconnected with what's going on, you feel as if you're in danger. You never actually see the bad guys face and the fact that it's out in the open makes you an easy target.

In this sequence we have an opening for a thriller called 'Fool's move' in which it shows a chess game being played. A chess game can reflect the complexities of a thriller narrative in the way that in chess you are going out to lure, trap and defeat your opponent. its also requires a lot of planning and intelligence to find out your opponents weakness so your able to trap him and defeat him which is similar in the way that in a thriller the antagonist goes out to kill or capture the protagonist and exploits their weakness.
