Evaluation Question 1, Part 2



1. This opening begins with the production logo that was part of the film. Maybe this production logo is best known for their thrillers.

2. The title look like it has been written in blood, which is a good thing because thrillers usually have blood as a big part of their film.

3. A close up in thrillers are very effective because they can be very deceiving to the viewer. Just like in this scene, it looks like something really bad is happening, when actually the character is just shaving. But the audience also knows that the scene has been portrayed this way purposefully.

4. Having a knife in a thriller is a massive give-away that the film is actually a thriller, and could be an essential prop. In this scene the knife is cutting through something which looks like flesh, but once again it is deceiving the characters because it is not flesh, it is only food.

5. In this shot, it looks very 'thriller like' because if the knife, and what looks like blood.

6&7. These shots make the viewer feel a little scared, which is what the film is trying to do. , the close up camera angle is making the viewers think something else out of something innocent.

8. This shot looks like the character is being suffocated by a white material, which is part of the thriller genre and conventions because it is a way of killing. But again, this whole opening is about deceiving the characters into thinking something else, but secretly it is showing the characters that this film is a thriller.

9. At the end, the character stares nastily into the camera, and this could show some personality of the character.
