Evaluation q1
   This shot challenges the conventions of an opening
    sequence. This is because all of the main characters of the
    film are identified and you see their faces at least once. We
    decided to do this as more curiosity is generated into the
    identity of the characters. As a result of presenting the
    characters in this way, the audience then begins to build
    their own stories in their minds as to what they believe
    each person is significant for and what the story itself is
    going to present. This means that the characters act
    somewhat as an enigma code to the audience; they are
    constantly asking themselves who is this person and what
    is their purpose. A normal opening sequence would not do
    this as they would normally base their scenes around the
    protagonist as an individual. We preferred to use a group
    of people as we believe it is more suspicious and helps the
    audience join in with the mental story building of the film.
Evaluation q1
   The use of low lighting in scenes fits the conventions
    of a thriller film. The darkness creates an eerie
    atmosphere which indicates to the audience that
    something bad is going to happen or that a
    threatening situation is going to occur. We decided to
    shoot our film at around 4pm (during the winter)
    when the sun was at a low point and it began to turn
    into night. This way, the genre can be predicted
    through the lighting. Using dark lighting is also more
    effective than using high key lighting for a thriller
    genre as it not very representative. Also, it would
    seem silly to have a kidnap in broad daylight. We had
    to think of the scene realistically and think how it
    would represent real life effectively and appropriately.
Evaluation q1
   The use of weaponry and violence definitely conforms
    to the conventions of a thriller. We decided to use
    violence as this is a key feature for thrillers. This is
    because thrillers are usually based upon the harm of
    one person in order to get a reaction from another.
    This is what we tried to do here. However, the
    weapon itself may not necessarily be representative
    of thrillers. In our sequence, we decided to use a golf
    club as our weapon. This is because we felt it would
    be more threatening then using a knife or a gun and
    this is because with these types of weapons, people
    generally immediately assume death. We did not want
    the audience to believe that the character had died,
    only that he had be badly injured.
Evaluation q1
   In both thrillers and opening sequences, enigma codes are
    used to help generate suspense. This shot shows a note
    that is seen at the beginning of the sequence when the
    character becomes conscious again. We decided to use
    this as an enigma code as it would make the audience
    think what is the note for and what does it say. It also
    helps to set the scene for the plot by indicating that
    someone has an issue with the character and they have
    told them in a non verbal way. We decided to conform to
    this convention because we believe that creating questions
    in the heads of the audience is important in trying to keep
    them drawn into the movie. Enigma codes are often used
    to keep the audience involved in the movie and make them
    want to watch on. We hoped that the use of this particular
    enigma code will encourage the audience to watch on so
    they can find out just what the note is about and why it
    had to be written in the first place.
Evaluation q1
   In our final piece, we decided to have the name of our film as the
    last frame. This does not conform to the conventions of a title
    sequence as the title is usually the first thing (or one of) to be
    seen. We decided to do this because it draws the audience into
    the narrative more without actually having the ‘giveaway’ of the
    title. If the audience saw the title in the beginning, they would
    have guessed what would happen from the start of the clip and
    the rest of the film would not be worth watching. Having it at the
    end means the audience gets to make their own assumptions on
    what they think will happen throughout the clip and then their
    guesses can be confirmed or denied at the end via the title.
   The title is also written in red. This conforms to the conventions
    of a thriller as red has many connotations linking to thrillers. The
    red of the text connotes futuristic danger and also the fact that
    there could be death or blood shed. We decided to use red so
    that all of these connotations could be addressed subliminally
    and helps the audience to understand what the rest of the film
    could be like.
Evaluation q1
   In our opening sequence, we decided to use white as our
    credit colour. This does not conform to the thriller genre
    as white is not associated with thrillers. However, we used
    it as a deceptive feature. White connotes purity ad
    innocence and we have used in in the sense that it
    represents how the gang members approached an
    ‘innocent’ couple. To the audience, the couple would seem
    innocent however they reality is that they aren’t. The use
    of white is a good way to make the audience believe that
    they aren’t bad people and that they have been targeted.
    The use of the white doesn’t indicate to the audience what
    the genre of the film is however this is not important as
    there are other features in the duration of the clip,
    including the title, that give away the genre of the film.
Evaluation q1
   This image introduces the gang members. The use of
    gang members within the sequence could be seen as
    a convention of a thriller. The gang members are the
    ‘bad guys’ and thrillers generally have good people
    and bad people. These people are effective as they
    make the audience think about who they are and
    what they want. There are many thrillers that are
    based upon the use of gang members (or gangsters)
    and ‘Pulp Fiction’ is one of the films where we gained
    our inspiration. This image also helps to indicate to
    the audience that there are two opposing sides and
    that one side is a gang. It also helps the audience to
    separate good and evil.
Evaluation q1
   Thrillers aren’t usually happy films and this
    can be reflected in my clip. This image shows
    a look of fear on the characters face when he
    realises that he is being followed by people.
    The use of the close up also helps the
    audience to empathise with the character and
    get a feel for his emotions. This also helps to
    tell the audience that the character is scared
    about what is happening and further helps to
    create the innocence and good guy bad guy
    effect.
Evaluation q1
   Thrillers are usually based around a problem that
    needs to be solved. This problem is usually the
    breaking of the equilibrium and the solving of
    the problem is the new equilibrium (Todorov’s
    theory). This shot shows how the problem has
    been made but doesn’t give any indication of
    resolution. Thrillers can also be heavily crime
    based and seeing a thug carrying a person down
    the road is a clear indicator that a crime has
    taken place. This shot also helps to tell the
    audience who the good people and the bad
    people are and also makes them think what will
    happen next and how will it be fixed. This shot is
    an enigma code.
