Inspiring Clips Part 2(incomplete)

Past Latymer Thriller Projects...

Exposure


-Continuity- this sequence was spot on as it followed all the rules. Camera literally follows him wherever he goes.

-Camera work-lots of variety of different distances and angles.

-Changes from black and white to colour which is slightly unnerving for the audience adding to the feel of the sequence.

-Match on action- lots of great examples of this in the sequence.

-The sequence stuck to the 180 degree rule

-Credits- not classic but still effective. The use of the colour orange is unusual but links to the colour of the room at the end of the clip

-Typical conventions- the sequence showed conventions typical of the thriller genre e.g. the fade to black at the end of the clip.

-Techniques used- dissolve

-Pace-starts off fast and slows down at the end.

-Dress Code- black suit,Shirt,tie=gives the audience the idea that he's a business man down to his smart dress. However, his loosened tie and how he acts adds to the rush he's in.

-Diegetic Sound- Increases realism e.g. running water, keys, heavy breathing

-Non-Diegetic Sound- Music starts half way through when the man starts walking slowly towards to door the sequence which has the effect of building up tension. The heartbeat at the end of the clip could be diegetic of non-diegetic but either way it's amplified.

-Enigma Codes-Raises a number of questions e.g. Why is he in such a rush? Who's the girl in the photos?

-Influential?
I like the fact that the story line isn't too complicated meaning the people making the film could concentrate on making the experience more enjoyable for the audience. Plays on the idea of something going on behind closed doors, appearing normal from the outside but having a dark secret. I thought it was interesting how the sequence appeared to have two halves which were both very different meaning that the group got to use lots of different techniques. Uses ideas typical of the thriller genre e.g. obsession.
