In reflection to my research I have done, my ideas have changed from the start of my research to now. This is because I have a lot more knowledge on the thriller genre and what the conventions of a thriller include. In my thriller I will include different camera shots such as , Close-ups, Long shots etc. This will give the audience a better perspective and better understanding of the scene. I now know what is effective in thrillers, this has changed my original idea to my current idea now. In my thriller, i want to have one main antagonist who is trying to murder three innocent people, the antagonist will use props such as knifes, guns etc. The idea is that all three of the victims try to escape in different ways causing chaos for the antagonist. I want to end my thriller on a cliffhanger leaving the audience to guess what happens next. This is because due to my research i know people find cliffhangers and plot twists in thrillers effective and it is what they enjoy seeing ...
Steve Neale Genre theory Neale believes that films of a type (genre, like romance or horror) should include features that are similar, so the audience know it is a horror film or romance, but also include features that are different, to keep an audience interested. This is his theory of repetition and difference. In his words “genres are instances of repetition and difference.” He believes that difference is essential as if there is no difference the audience will not attract the audience. Genres are created through repetition and recognition which lead to expectation and anticipation https://guilsboroughschoolmedia.wordpress.com/2017/08/26/steve-neale-genre/
I have chosen to deconstruct an A level media thriller called ' Silenced'. Silenced starts with quick pace piano music which makes the audience feel tense and curious to what is going to happen and why is it going to happen. The camera then cuts to a POV shot of him putting down a newspaper and picking up a paper that says ' missing person' on it. This is effective as it shows the audience what might of happened and builds the intensity. When he picks up the paper the camera cuts to an extreme close shot that pans up very slowly bottom to top. This reveals to the audience slowly what the paper says and gives us information about the missing person. While all this is happening they're credits with names in the bottom left corner. The next shot is of the missing person who is sitting down at a table, it is a medium shot and while this is going on the missing girl is getting told off by a background voice saying stuff like ' how would you feel if I tormented you?...
