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.
