Thriller uses a combination of suspense, tension and excitement to grab any audiences attention and keep them on the edge of their seat throughout. Thriller films tend to be adrenaline rushing, fast paced and used to stimulate the viewers moods giving them a high level of anticipation. There are many stereo types that are initially thought about when considering thriller such as a gritty villain, blood, gore, killing, death etc. When thinking of typography and music choice which are associated with this specific genre the typography is very blunt and bold in comparison to a romance where the typography is more flowy and bouncy. The Music has a slow tempo which creates a mysterious effect also with the anticipating beat. Most Thriller/Horror films incorporate a very clever plot, slowly revealing the villain, for example for killings taking place. I believe this would be very hard to do however studying more into this genre I believe it would become a lot easier. Horror/Thriller

- 4. We are firstlyintroduced to the title of the film. Its bold, in capitals, making it come across as very important. The biggest thing that stands out is the contrast between the black and red, black indicates death and red indicates blood. Also the typography is looks as if its been slashed/damaged this then relates back to what the audience may think will happen to the characters in the film. This is then followed by a series of titles. There is a contrast between the black and white. This is a very special shot because it introduces the characters or even the victims. Also in each corner of the photo there are red markers, these indicate that there is danger also because they are surrounding the people in the pictures this indicates there is danger around them.
- 5. In this shotthe thing that stood out them most was the use of the dark black sky, this is used to indicate something bad is going to happen giving it a bad connotation. This dark sky is a representative of the danger which is going to lurk over the neighbourhood because of the dark clouds lurking over the house. In the opening sequence we are also introduced to a little girl. We instantly know this is the victim and the main target. We know this because she is by herself, venerable and close to being home. During this clip she is singing a nursery rhyme, incy wincey spider, this is very symbolic because it comes across as very eerie.
- 6. This image isvery clever because the sheets are blown and the villain appears. Its clever because they have used a calm setting but twisted it to be scary. During this you know something creepy is going to come up because whilst the sheets are blowing you hear the sound of the villain (clown) laugh. The laugh is evil! A close up of the clown pops up, and because it is a symbol of a happy clown, and he looks very friendly and because he is surrounded in white sheets it also shows purity and he looks very nice, but later on in the film you realise he is very evil, and he looks friendly to guide children to him with things like balloons and by doing this he then gets to kill them !!
- 7. Our first ideaswere that we wanted to pick a genre, we wanted something different that hadn't been done before. Initially me and George came up with a western and coral and Sarah like the idea of doing a different genre. As a group we then came to the conclusion about doing a horror/thriller and from looking at series of opening sequence for example it, this then allowed us to decide we were going to achieve this in a different light. From this I mean we wanted it to include a clever plot, suspense and tension, something to keep our audience on the edge of their seat. Our Idea
