Past Student Thrillers

I knew this was a thriller due to the non-diegetic sinister music, the low key lighting, the prop of a gun gave a thriller effect because you would associate it with death and danger. There were also quick cuts and changes in the angles of shots. I would give this thriller a 4/4 because it held suspense, engaged the audience and had a good use of camera shots and thriller conventions.




This thriller opening shared the same qualities to the previous thriller but rather than having tension music at the beginning, it started off with happy non-diegetic music. It was only towards the middle of the opening that things started to build suspense which actually created more effect because at one point it was so cheerful and all of a sudden tension started to grow which catches the audience off-guard. I would give this thriller a 4/4, it could've been better if there was a little bit of dialogue just to engage the audience a bit more.




This thriller was not as effective as the other two because there was no depth, the same location was used throughout and the quality was not good enough to engage the audience. It is very basic so I would give this a 2/4 although techniques were used effectively like the close up when the girl was on her phone and the jump cuts when she was walking.
