7. Sound Diagetic As the second production company appears, we hear ‘lightening’ which is also shown on screen. This helps emphasise the fact that this is a thriller and helps create the sense that this is reality. Then there is a use of ‘creeks’ once the car dump appears on screen. The use of the ‘windy’ noise helps create the feeling of ghost’s passing by and coming which sticks to the convention of thriller movies. Non Diagetic As the first production companies come up, the first one uses the sound of ‘creeks’ and ‘wind’. This helps emphasise the fact that it is a ‘ghostly’ film and help build up the presence of a ghost. Lightening No Lightening

11. The Ring -Horror-

15. Psycho & Inception -Thriller-

22. Misery -Thriller-

24. Convention & Camera Techniques Convention Goes against the normal thriller as it doesn’t start with dark colours, sound affects but it has isolation of items and shows us who the victim or killer is most likely to be. Camera Techniques Close up of objects and the man typing away in the background. Medium shot of the man to show us where he is and to help us establish who the victim/killer is. Close up when smoking to show enjoyment of the cigarette . This gives the affect that the viewer is there and creates a close relationship between the viewer and the main character. It also allows you to get a rough idea of what is happening. All close up’s Long Shot

25. Sound Sound First sound of a type writer, telling us where we are at this current time. Keeps quiet as it goes on until he writes “The End”, were the sad/sorrow music starts playing (showing us that he is going to die). The use of high pitched music normally found in psychiatrists. Bottle pops, drink pouring, match lit . Close Up

26. Se7en -Thriller-

27. Sound & Camera Techniques Use of natural sounds for the first scene but when the tittles start to appear we then get sounds of machinery/eerier music, which starts to build up tension in the listeners ear, as it is an unusual sound with a beat to it and the beat becomes faster and faster (showing the tension building up) We start with a medium shot of a man in the kitchen, we then have a close up of him getting dressed, we then get a point of view shot at him with objects in front of him. We then get a long shot of the man as he walks closer to the screen and it turns into a medium shot. We then see them outside and it uses a low angle shot (showing that they have power/status). They then have a conversation and it is still at a low angle. We then see him in bed (using a long shot) and it has a close up on his hand (to show his hand moving) and then zooms into him while he’s in bed and uses reverse shots between the man and the metronome and then cuts to the book and starts the titles. Close Up Camera Techniques Close Up Long Shot Low Angle Long Shot Sound

28. Use Of Titles & Convention The tittles don’t start coming up till 4:13 were I starts with a book and then uses a scribbling font showing the tittles have been written down (like they come from the book). This font give the effect that the titles are being written but by someone else who is not on scene. This helps create the feeling that someone else I writing the story. This also helps build the tension at the beginning of the film. Use of contrasting colours from white to black (bright to dark) which also goes against the normal thriller convention as it uses a bright colour first and we don’t see any weapon. There was no use of distorting sounds as they used natural sounds (tap). We also realise who the main character is from the first scene, which comes before the titles. Use Of Titles Convention Bright Colour Dark Colour

29. Mise En Scene The first thing we see is a man in a kitchen (with the normal, then getting dressed in front of a mirror and then moves to him picking up 4 objects in specific order and placing them in his pockets. We then advance to another scene were we see him walking and we see a dead body on the floor and him and an officer investigating the room of the dead were another character joins and another one leaves showing us that we have 2 main characters left. We then see them walking and talking and then join the first character we see back in his bedroom, were he’s reading a book and his pendulum is moving and the titles then start. Mise En Scene This use of props and setting helps to create the mood of the film. As we get to see this all before the titles appear we get a quick understanding of what has happened, and this then creates the motive for the rest of the film. This also give the viewer a brief idea of allows them to try and guess what is going to happen and allows them to engage in the movie
