Artist to artist presentation
The document discusses the creator's artist to artist video submission. It contains 5 paragraphs that describe different aspects of the video:
1) The creator chose visual artist Nathan Aardvark whose concept-style illustration art reminds the creator of fantasy/science fiction worlds that allow for escape from reality.
2) The music fits well with the images, creating a dream-like storytelling atmosphere. Some images have an "other-worldly" feel like a robotic bear.

thriller codes and conventions
Thriller films employ certain camera angles, shots, editing techniques, lighting, sound, and mise-en-scene elements to create suspense and tension. Low camera angles convey power and superiority, while high angles show vulnerability. Close-up shots allow more emotion to be conveyed. Quick cuts and changing camera angles in editing disorient the viewer. Low key lighting and intense music build drama and unease. Props like mirrors and stairs symbolize themes of power, challenge, and reflection in mise-en-scene. These techniques aim to keep the audience in suspense and lead to an unexpected climax.

Transitions between clips included fades, and titles were added using VideoLeap with transitions and fading. The second half of the video was made slower, and a black background was added to the title with softness and lowered opacity for visibility.

- 2. The viewers are presented with a dolly track where a lot of action is going on around people.. Giving a sensation of paranoia as he walks past them with a medium shot As this man enters the store, We are presented with low lightening and cold tones of colours.. A ped track is used to show his movement across this store he entered were aswell a close shot is used to show his facial expression ( confused and mysterious) As he finds a jigsaw puzzle an over the shoulder shot is used giving focus to each character speaking.. As the owner tells the man not to buy the puzzle as it will “ always find its way back to the store” The owner of the store seems a little odd, as he starts laughing hysterically when selling the jigsaw to the man A full shot is used of the man in his car in the dark, Where it gives the audience some sort of chills , not to mention a non diegetic suspense music is used. As he carries on driving his radio sound is distorted, Once again giving the audience the creeps. The man gets home and prepares himself to play his jigsaw with jazz music, candles , drinks.. Different shots are used to make it seem the time is passing by. Such as dolly shot focusing on the clock ticking, outside shot using a dolly movement with a more focusing sound on the rain. The clock hits 12 and a zoom shot is used on the clock and on the man… the viewers are shown a close up of the puzzle being the man in his room and just one puzzle piece is missing. As he places it, It seem to be a face of a man behind him ready to murder him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FBQABDN2wQ&feature=emb_logo
