Thriller still collage


I have created a collage of stills from various thriller opening scenes, I done this to show some of the typical scenes in a thriller. My collage also shows some of the mystery and suspense that are involved. An example of this is in the bottom left, where a male is carrying a dead body held in a carpet. The male has some cuts and scratches on his face which may cause the audience to think, what has happend to him and why is he carrying a dead body. The collage shows some typical settings in a thriller such as a city (bottom right) and a living room/house (top left). A living room would be a great setting as it offers the audience an atmosphere of safety and comfort. Throughout the collage the lighting seems very dark and grainy, which could be used to hide certain objects or people. Having darkness also gives the fear of the unknown, which creates more mystery. Having mystery keeps the audience entertained. The props are normally everyday items such as carpets and cds. These items may seem inconspicuous  but can be used in a variety of ways to send messages to a victim for example.

    To improve: Go further into what the characteristics are of the genre - use your notes in class and the mind map you photographed - if you didn't get it it is on my blog. Comment on what the pictures demonstrate:

    the lighting & colours
    the props
    the costume & characters
    the settings (why would a living room be a thriller setting?)
