Analyse of three students past work

We was given this task to help create ideas on how we would create our own thriller opening, this helped us think and gave us ideas from what other people have done and also gave us tips on what we shouldn't and should do and I saw how certain media productions went a bit off track into other genres and lacked certain thriller features.



Possessed looked and sounded more like a horror opening but it did display some thriller convections such as cliff hanging scenes and Macguffins, i think they have made good use of Mise-en-scene especially with the props such as the vomit and the blood, I wouldn't say that the music was appropriate it sounded a bit out of place like disco music, but the sound effects were in line with what was going on and made sense, I think it lacked technical security as it looked to me more like a horror film, but possibly could be turned into a psychological thriller.

The decoy does look like a normal thriller opening and not like other openings that looked like horror trailers, including a variety of different sound types and music I like the way off screen sound was included and the parallel sound and the way the sound in general matched each situation it added to the suspense and whole experience of watching the opening thriller convections were good there was a lot of suspense and confusion and a few Macguffins, Mise-en-scene was also good as the setting was good as well as the lighting, setting and props , maybe the characters position within the frames could have been improved slightly overall this seemed like a good opening and technically secure.

It's personal looks like a very slow paced thriller openning, where as typically thriller opening's have action or some thriller devices to attract the audiences attention or make them feel some sort of suspense or tension, although the openning progressed the tension did build up and I began to wonder what they was going to do when they was driving up to where they was going, aswell as what was going to happen with the person that was kidnapped, the on and off screen sound was good and fitted in with what was on screen, mise-en-scene was good as the props stood out most to me out of all the openings, as well as having good costumes although the lighting was abit too dark, at the beginging of the openining in the scenes within the house.
