slide show, elucidating the differences between comedy and thriller movies.

1. OPENING SEQUENCE- COMEDY &
THRILLER
By Fin Moores

2. UNTHINKABLE- THRILLER
How are the characters
introduced?
This character is introduced
through a video clip in the
movie. The clip consists of
him saying he has planted
three bombs in USA.
Samuel L. Jackson is introduced by
the police thinking he is linked to
the terrorism plot, but in actual
fact he is a target, which the police
don’t know. We find this out right
at the beginning.

3. UNTHINKABLE- THRILLER
How can you tell it is a
thriller?
This picture is taken from the
opening sequence of the film. You
can tell by this there is a gun,
which is a massive giveaway that
this is thriller, Is a gun is a code
and convention for a thriller.
Another giveaway that
conveys that it is a thriller is
that in the first minute a
terrorist mentions he has
planted bombs in America.
These points as well are
included in the codes and
conventions of a thriller.

4. UNTHINKABLE- THRILLER
What will make the audience keep
watching?
When it comes up to ten minutes
into the film. The police declare to
secret service, they have the man
held captive in a secret location.
After watching this I was intrigued
to see what they were going to do to
him in order to prevent the bombs
exploding. However people that
enjoy gory will definitely be
intrigued to see what happens later
in the film.

5. GET HARD- COMEDY
How are the characters
introduced?
We are introduced to Will
Ferrell at the beginning of
the movie when he is going
to work. He is an upper-
class successful manager.
We’re introduced to Kevin Hart at
the beginning too, however he is
working class, and from a deprived
part of New Orleans.

6. GET HARD- COMEDY
How can you tell it is a comedy?
You can tell the film is a
comedy by the front cover, as
well as including the actors in
the picture giveaway what genre
the film is.

7. GET HARD- COMEDY
What will make the audience keep
watching?
After the opening sequence, the
audience will be enticed to
watch the rest of the film. This
is because Ferrell is charged
with fraud and will be going to
prison, however he is too scared
to do this so needs toughening
up. Kevin Hart is used to
toughen him up. This is what
makes the movie funnier and
more interesting.

8. EVALUATION
After researching and finding distinctive differences between genres,
I will take it into account to make it uniquely obvious that my opening
sequence is a thriller and not a comedy. I will be able to do this by
including basic codes and conventions, that are usually included in
thriller films.
