Introduction to Thriller Films

In our introduction to thrillers, we had to brainstorm what we thought the properties of thrillers were. Some of these included:

-Lighting
-POV
-Twist
-Tension

Alot of the thoughts put foward were ones I would also identify with thrillers.

We then got to view past students examples of their thriller films. Many of these I enjoyed as the shots used were interesting and well executed, as well as adding tension. It was interesting to see why and when they used there specific shots. In 'End of the Line', many of the shots used were fast to add that extra tension and suspense to the plot.

My first introduction!

My name is Ishmail Salmon. I am a new student to media studies, but am very keen to learn new things. I enjoy watching all genres of Film and TV, and now want to be part of being behind the cameras, analysing and comparing all aspects of media, as well as broadening my knowledge of what is media. I chose media for many reasons, the most important,gain experience using the cameras and directing.
