Create a collage of Thriller films showing the key Iconography associated.
- Props & set design
- Locations & Settings
- Lighting & Colours
- Characters
- Typical Scenes
This should be a mix of:
- Film posters/DVD covers of Psychological or Crime or Political Thrillers
- Capture Film stills from Thrillers Openings post
Remember - NOT horror (no knives or scream masks please!)
THEN comment in why these are recognisable characteristics of a Thriller - look carefully at the Mind Map from last weeks lesson and tie into MYSTERY & SUSPENSE
2. Analysis of Thrillers x (part 1 of 3) Individual
Watch a Thriller Film (There are some in the Library, borrow DVD from me or you can watch online) from the collection linked below
Top 10 Psychological Thrillers
Top 10 Crime Thrillers
Write a SPOILER review (300 words) about how successfully this was as satisfying the audiences pleasure in watching a Thriller
Refer particularly to the characters, the plot (what happens), how it ends, how it kept you guessing, created MYSTERY & SUSPENSE, and if it had a Twist. How successful was this at being a Thriller?
Post this to your blog with the trailer for the film & stills if possible
3. Look through the selection of Thriller Openings & explain to someone you know how you know they are a Thriller Film - what are the audiences expectations from what you have shown them? (Mind Map their responses on www.bubbl.us.com - you will be making this into a video next week)
4. Find a suitable location and photograph it, (don't grab it off the internet) to shoot a Thriller that demonstrates what you have understood this week.
Post All The Above to Your Blog by next week - we will be using it in class and I will be assessing you next weekend.
