Student Thrillers

During Gez's lesson we were given the opportunity to watch a selection of previous student's thriller openings to give us inspiration when creating our own thrillers and for us to be more aware of what is to be expected when creating our own thrillers.

The main focus of watching the thrillers was to analyse the camera angles,setting and the effects that each used but as a class I noticed that we also ended up commenting on the acting of some of the characters. We discussed and analysed what we thought worked and didn't work which helped us understand what to avoid and what to do when making our own thriller openings.

In my opinion the best thriller openings were the ones which conveyed a sense of mystery- the ones which gave enough information for the audience to come to their own conclusion but at the same time create a "what's going to happen next?" feeling.
