An introduction to thriller films

In this lesson we began by thought processing what we assumed what had to be included were in thrillers, theses were:
.Supernatural themes
.plot twists
.tense atmosphere
.Suspense
.Dark lighting
.stock characters
.Puzzles
.Camera shots and angles
The evidence for this was a film by last years media group, there thriller film which included these themes, the film was called 'End of the line' which we analysed to discover how and why the themes were used. It seemed the group had focused their attention on the camera angles and shots because of how cleverly organised it was and the impact it had on its viewers, for example tension was built through the fast and continuous change in camera shots.

We were then given permission to explore the other video's that the previous media students had created, which was very interesting as I was curious to find out why the groups used the techniques that they used, from my perspective camera shots and angles seemed as the most important tool to use when capturing the plot, but it as also given me and insight to the standard of my film, when I do create it.
