A Much Needed Updating Of Our Blog!!

Analysis of last year's Thriller's:

Reminscence:

I found this thriller opening very well executed and I found the storyline very easy to follow. it used a variety of shots and I especially like the long shot at the end which was sped up, it gave the film a professional feel. it managed to show flashbacks and make the audience understand it too which was done very well. The music they used at the start was also done very well, considering it wasn't from any professional artist and again made the film seem very real. Yet the best thing about this Thriller opening was that it made me want to know more about what happens later which is the main aim of any Thriller film.

Regret?

I also found this thriller opening very intriguing. It took a while to get into the story line and i believe the shot's in the car did take a little too long. However the variety of camera shots used during this time is also very good, using various angles, movement and framing. The opening also had some very interesting shots like when we see the man through the wing mirror of the car. I also like the shot when we see the main character start to remember; the blurry effects and the tense music makes the audience relate to the character.

Game Over

I found that this Thriller was not really an opening, but was more like a short film. the opening shot is very effective as the camera turns 360 degrees around the character and we can clearly See the "change in circumstances" of Todorov's theory when we see the girl seeing somebody inside the house. The music throughout is also very good as it is slightly haunting which very much matches the mood of the film.
