Thriller Conventions:
Thriller conventions include mise-en-scene, cinematography and iconography. These particular features contribute alot to thriller films because they add alot of emphasis in the mood or theme of the movie.
The clip that i have chosen to analyse is from the film Casino Royale.

The positioning and facial expressions of the characters sitting around the poker table show that there is a lot at stake and whoever loses the game will be affected, the effect that this has on the audience is that the audience are anxious whilst the game is going on because they are unsure of the meanings behind the expressions on the characters faces.
The music in the scene is parallel because the background music of suspense matches the intensity of the facial expressions on the characters faces.
Low key lighting is used in the scene of the clip which is conventional to the thriller genre and contributes to the the spooky mood of the clip which is because the audience is unsure of the occurrences about to happen.
A close up shot is used on the main characters opponent so that the audience would get the chance to imagine what is going on through is mid during the game of poker.
In conclusion this will benefit me in making my thriller film because all of the conventions that i have mentioned are used in thriller movies contribute in making a successful film that viewers will enjoy,I can also use these features to make a thriller film of high quality and standard.

You have shown a knowledge of the conventions used in thrillers but not explained what they are used for or what they create for the audience.
ReplyDeleteCasino Royale is not a thriller.
