THRILLER


Brief 

The brief below is our AS Level Media Studies Course, which explained what we are going to do for this task. Please pause at any time.


Genres

In the Powtoon Below I have explained the different types of genres and shown thriller sub genres. Please pause at any time



Code and Conventions

In this Powtoon below  I have explained what codes and conventions are. Please pause at any time.





Thriller trailer video

The constant plot twists, continuously kept me in suspense throughout the whole film, the end of the film itself was jaw dropping. In my opinion, the story line was well navigated and was directed in a exceptional way.

The film stars; Jennifer Lawrence, Max Thieriot, Gil Bellows and Elisabeth Shue.

Recently, I have watched the thriller, 'House At The End Of The Street.' This film was directed by Mark Tonderai and is American psychological thriller. The film is about a girl and her mother who move into a new town. Soon after they move in, they discover that the house at the end of the street housed a young girl who killed her parents before supposedly disappearing. It is revealed that the house does not remain empty, instead, the brother of the murderous sister lives there. As the plot begins to unfold, the audience learn the terrifying truth of the murders that occurred in the House At The End Of The Street.



Thriller

Today in media we were asked to take pictures. These images would be created into a short trailer for a thriller film.

The video below that I created, is an experiment to understand and know what a thriller trailer would theoretically look like. The creation of this video has helped me understand areas that can be edited and improved upon. From this video, I can see how this can be improved and now, using the skills that I have learnt in class, I will, on the next occasion we are required to make a film, I will be able to produce a higher quality and finer piece of work.
