I did some research on block buster films (see previous posts to see some) and i stuck closely to the thriller genre as it is the genre that I picked. I picked up some of the conventions from these films such as:
-Obscurity in shots, with shots such as bird seye and tilts, these create a unique atmosphere and cause some tension as the audience is on the edge of their seats.
-The music has a certain feel about it, most of the music used in thrillers is a dark tone and during an action sequence the pace and tone gets faster and higher, to show a time of panic.
-The killer isn't always revealed at the start, this is used to add some tension and also creates a "who done it" atmosphere where the characters and audience are both guessing the identify of the killer together.
-Some thrillers play a clip of the end scene at the start of the film, then use the whole film as a flashback of sorts, this confuses and intrigues the audience causing them to watch on.
with all of these things in mind I hope to implement some if not all of them into my piece, so that we can have our piece look as close to professional as we possibly can.
I'm looking forward to seeing you're Prelim, what's the basic story line, relationship between the characters, and how have you shown this?
