Understanding What a Thriller Was..

So today was another lesson, not the fact to be missed that we had to crack on with our thriller task. Today's lesson we learnt about understanding what the actual term ' thriller' meant. We viewed many videos and pictures to understand how directors made there film so different but yet so to the point of a thriller that a viewer could not resist watching. Understanding how colours and scary picture can emphases the screen shot even more by adding basic foundation to the scene.
One of the video's we watched was an opening to a famous thriller called 'Se7en'...





When we analysed this video, we saw that the director used a various of colours , sound, lighting and pictures to create the dramatic scene. The sound emphasises each screen shot building up the sound and the suddenly dropping when we see something bad. This plays with the minds of the audience preparing them for such a scene, and then this leads of the whole movie becoming a 'thriller' arising a suspenseful atmosphere. Colour used in the video is mostly red, this symbolises blood and in the end gives a clear distinction of threat.
