Titles;

In class we have been looking at different title sequences to thrillers. We observed the order of titles, and the design of the titles. 
Some of the title sequences that we watched were; In the Cut, Se7en, and Panic room.
When watching the opening credits of 'In the Cut' they had a particular order in which they placed the titles.
Which was; 
Production company - Pathe
Main actors

Less important actors

Different people that delt with music

Producer

Director

Main Title

I feel that the font for the main title is effective as it appears as if it has been cut into it and it is red like blood giving a bigger effect.

                                                                

Survey (Audience research) ;

I created a survey on surveymonkey.com, to see what different types of thrillers the public like and what they like about them.

Brainstorm:

The following is an image of the brainstorm that Georgia and I did for ideas on our thriller.

Moby gratis;

As we are unable to use signed music as it falls under the copyright laws, therefore we must find some music on a website that offers unsigned music. the most popular is Mobygratis.com. Other websites that can be used are; freeplaymusic.comm, newgrounds.com and unsigned.com.

Shadow of a doubt;

"Shadow of a Doubt" is an Alfred Hitchcock film that was made in 1943. 

We watched the beginning of this film in class, when watching we found that the uncle Charlie was the antagonist and his niece Charlie was the protaganist. 

Storyline;
Charlie Newton (niece) decides that she is unhappy with the boring things in her life and wishes that something exciting would happen. She knew that she needed a visit from her sophisticated Uncle Charlie Oakley, which soon enough became true. It was all appearing fine, until Charlie started to notice some odd behaviour from her uncle as he starts to cut out a particular article from the paper. It was only when two strangers approached him and asked questions of him, poor Charlie began to imagine the worst of her uncle.


Mise en scene;
Lighting and colour: As this is a black and white film there is nothing to say about the colour. However the film looks as if it has very natural lighting, this is high key.
Settings and props; The props used are very high class such as cigars and money, whereas he seems to be living in a deprived area. 
Costumes, Hair & make up; Uncle Charlie is finely dressed in a smart suit and hat, with well groomed hair. This shows that he cares about his appearance. 
Facial Expressions and Body Language; Uncle Charlie's body language is very stiff and seems to be uptight. Both him and his niece Charlie are seen laying on a bed this may show a link between them. 

Sabotage;

In Class we watched a scene from Alfred Hitchcocks film Sabotage, this was the Lord Mayor Show scene which contains a lot of suspense and dramatic irony.

Dramatic Irony is when the audience knows something that the character doesn't and the audience really want the character to know because they are a nice character.

In this scene Verloc (a unknown terrorist) gives a package to his wife's little brother Stevie to take to the theatre as he has told Stevie that the package is a film cannister, whereas it is actually a bomb. Verloc tells Stevie to deliver it by 1:30 as he knows that the bomb is going to go off at 1:45. However unknowing Stevie is not too bothered about when it is delivered and gets distracted by many things, such as the Lord Mayor Show. Eventually the bomb explodes whilst Stevie still has it.
