1. Brief

2. In this blog, i will be talking about thriller films as i have been focusing on that specific genre
for my media studies course. Thriller films is a genre that revolves around anticipation and
suspense, it is a very different genre as it shocks the audience and keeps them waiting on
what's going to happen next.This genre stands out amongst the other genres. The main aim
for thrillers is to keep the audience panicked and worried at all times and to have a lot of
questions going through their head. A thriller usually contains : an escape , a mission, or a
mystery, without any of them , a thriller would not even be called a thriller. A few of my
favorite thriller films are : A stranger calls , No escape, The call. The reason to why these
thriller films are my favorite is because they have really good camera shots, and having good
camera shots make a massive impact on the films depending on the shots and how scary the
scene is . There would always be tension throughout a thriller film, until it gets to the climax.
In this blog, i would be showing everything that is based on the making and studying of our
film.

3. Let The Right One In:
I was recommended to watch a trailer called 'let the right one in' by my teacher.Before
watching the trailer, i did some research on the movie itself.‘Let the right one in’ is directed by Tomas
Alfredson and this movie is about an innocent, 12-year-old boy called Oskar. In this movie, Oskar gets
bullied by the people from his school. He meets a girl called Eli, and they become really good friends,
but later on he figures out that Eli is no ordinary young girl. After watching the trailer, I really wanted to
watch the movie as the trailer was so interesting.At the start of the trailer, the use of non diegetic music is
very gentle and relaxing, however when someone drops to the ground, the music changes instantly and
becomes more loud. The reason why the music changed as soon as someone dropped is to create a
dramatic effect, so this means this will keep the audience interested even at the beginning of the trailer.
Panning happens at the start of the trailer when Oskar is stabbing the tree, and the camera is rotating
slowly, this creates a powerful scene as it will keep the audience scared as the camera is moving without
any cuts so clearly the audience know that the reason why the camera is panning is because they
purposely did that to get the audience frightened .There are a lot of cuts in this trailer, and the purpose of
these cuts is to show how quickly everything is happening. There is a dull mood and atmosphere
throughout the trailer which is to show that the movie is going to have a serious storyline to it.

5. In lesson, we had to watch thriller trailers. These thriller trailers we watched mainly involved pictures than
video clips in it. After watching a few thriller trailers, we had to go in our group and take pictures .Before
we took the pictures, we had to think about the story-line, because the pictures had to make sense in a
way that someone would look at it and know what is going on. We called our story ‘ Who?’ .The reason
why we called it that is because we wanted to keep it simple and this sounds like a thriller movie name,
and it matched the story-line we wanted to do which was perfect. The models in the pictures we took are
myself (Premini) and Princess. The person who took the pictures, edited it and made it look like a trailer
was Daniel. Every single person in my group came up with the idea for the story-line.
