What We Learned: New Task

In today's lesson we were given our new task by Miss Cunliffe. This was to film a opening sequence to a movie, then genre was our choice. Although in preovious years it has been a Thriller; so this lead miss Cunliffe to explain to us over the next 2 weeks wwere going to be watching opening clips of thiller movies. however if we choose to change the genre, that's our choice and we also must do alot of research into the genre ourself. So we started to discuss the generic conventions of a thiller movie and i was very confused myself because i thought thiller movies linked in with horror! for exmaple, Halloween, Saw 6 etc. I was very wrong. Thiller movies are actually movies like Taken & Phone Booth which have a slight bit of action, can involve murder but leaves the audence thinking and asking themselves alot of questions about the movie. I also learned in this lesson as well as the above that there are loads more conventions to Thiller movies such as Crime, Dark, Night-time, Police, Tension music, Sophistictaed & clever characters and many more.
