Section 12 - My Thriller



Narrative Structure
  • weather getting dark, so it builds suspense as its getting dark.
  • establishing shot of the house where the action is taking place. Shot of the villain in the door way which makes us ask who this is and whats going to happen

Thriller Codes and Conventions

single mother, we know this becuase no shot of the father.
only child, know this becuase of the shots too, not including any other children.

Camera work
low angle shots so it's as if its a shot from the boys view.
other low angles to show the feet walking/running.

Mise en Scene
typical mother outfit
typical child clothing
we know its a small environment, can tell this on the establishing shot of the house.
House is tidy and layed out well to shows her personality being neat and tidy.
Mother is obviously a big character throughout the movie, she's been filmed a lot in the opening which shows us she will be throughout the film.

Sound
Diagetic sound of the mother counting.
non-diagetic sound of the noise over the film
Added sound over the top which is there to build suspence in the opening.

Editing
shots flow together well
Different kinds of shots which link together
