HISTORICALBACKGROUND OF THE GENRE: THRILLER

Thriller is a genre that is seen to be the suspense, tension and excitement of a film in this genre the primary sub genres would be mystery, crime and psychological thrillers. Famous people who used this genre like Alfred Hitchcock and John Buchan ( who is widely credited for inventing the literary thriller) they brought thriller into the cinema's and have had a great impact in the soon history.
The film The 39 steps in 1935 had a huge impact in this time and introduced thriller very well Alfred based this on the novel by John Buchan and the audience depend for the excitement on extravagant action scenes which they definitely had and the best thriller film makers tend to be master storytellers eschew showy displays of acting like Hitchock, John Frankenheimer and michael mann.    

Preliminary Task

we have been working on our preliminary tasks this involves the 180 degrees rule, shot reverse shot and the match on action.

I was in a group with Della, Becky and Sarah the terms we learnt were match on action this means when the camera captious the subject reaching into a scene either zoomed in or out which we used by having me walk up to a door and reach my hand in to grab the handle this is a match on action. as i walk through the door to greet Becky who was sitting on the stairs this is were the 180 degree and shot reverse shot which are sort of the same thing but the 180 degree is restricted the camera would be at one persons shoulder and turn 180 degree to the other persons shoulder so that it cannot go past the 180 degree mark. were as the shot reverse shot does not have this rule and so you can shoot a conversation from any angle as long as you get the other person talking so its both views, which we did in our film with me and Becky also Sarah.

This task helps with the idea of different camera shots and keeping the person central which we did struggle on a bit, this helps give ideas for the 2 minute opening and how to film conversations and moving the camera without a tripod or a dolly keeping the camera steady.

i like the effect that ours gave by using these techniques it gave great emotion to the task showing this is defiantly what we want to put into the 2 minute opening.

TIMES

I have composed a time line for the film and will help with recreating this scene i have included the shots and what is happenig for the framing.





















We looked at film strips from the the opening of juno so that we could see the times of the text when it appears. This is to help us to work out what our times will be for our 2minute opening.

TAKEN

This is from the trailer TAKEN i like this idea of the information being shown at the start given the detailed of what is happening and relates it to life.













http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adgp0v_mfTk This is nightmare on elms street we were looking at the different camera angles of the shots with the close up of them getting killed shows the tension of it. 

Looking at the women in saw alot of body language and the clear countertype of a women being a physco and killer for the genre. 

 Aileen was a very contrasting character looking at her showed the idea of the complex of characters. 

REC

This is a image is from the trailer REC, the camera angle is facing down and it is a close-up shot of her face i like the idea of this shot as it creates the feeling of lonelyness and gives an idea of the genre horror / thriller.
