This picture I thought was quite nice because it is a little ally way but the good thing about this picture is the way it fades into darkness. This I think is good for thrillers because it causes the audience to be suspicious about what may happen or what is going on.
The reason why I took this picture is because I think a cemetery is a great place for a thriller because obviously it would be quite scary going to a cemetery in the middle of the night because anything may be lurking round the corner.


The first image i took was one in a back garden . The reason why i took this was because i thought that is was quite a nice place for a thriller firstly because it was dark and from what you can see in it it looks like something has taken place that should'nt of and that is was you normaly see in a thriller. This would keep the audiance guessing

Title Of The Film: The title of the film is quite different to other thrillers because the background is on a checkbook which is not what a titleis normally like, it sets to the actual movie while the titles are still appearing in the scene suggesting that they want the title to match what is going on at the time. I think this isquite good but the down side to this is it draws the audiences attention from the actual title.


How The Setting/Locati
on Is Revealed: The setting is revealed firstly in a car park when a guy in what looks like a very expensive suit is walking with a book in his hand to his car. This makes the audience think what is happening
and makes them want to watch on. Then we see a checkbook when numbers in it with blood on it whilst a man is whipping blood off of it, the weird thing about it that makes the scene quite special is that d
uring all of this we do not see this persons face suggesting that the directors want to keep the audience in suspence.


Interesting Camerawork/Editing: They use a couple of quite i
nteresting shots for example a mid panning shot and a very close up of the two men talking in the room. this will help the audience understand more what is going on by focusing on certain things so they get noticed.

Title & Font Style: The title/font style is quite good because the letters are quite small but also black with blood all around it. this is not a title you see a lot in thrillers but what i am
noticing is thriller titles are becoming more and more extravigant as the years go on and also they are drifting away from the basic black and white back ground with the big bold writing and letters,


How The Opening Sets Up A Story: The opening sets up the story to be very exciting because it leaves the
audience quite confused about what is going on in the movie but the sequence also makes the audience get drawn to what is going on suggesting that the will want to watch on. Just the little things like the slash of blood on the book and
not seeing the mans face will add to the suspence


Genre: The genre of the film is a thriller.

The Title Of The Film: The title is quite weird because it is not something you see all the time for example it is black and white and the the objects are quite odd when you first see them. Normally when you see a thriller movie the title is quite basic with normally a black back ground with white letters but not this one. I think that is it quite modern and it looks better than the normal thriller title you would see suggesting that it would attract more people when they see it.

Costumes & Props: the first thing we are shown is a random man in white plain overals instantly suggesting that something is about to happen because that is not normal for someone to wear something like that in the street. this will lead the audience to believe that something is going on and this is always a good thing as the will become drawn to the movie and want to watch on.

How The Opening Sets Up A Story: The story is set up quite well because we don't find out a lot by the opening sequence but what it does is make us want to see what may happening because of things like for example when the man walks in the bank in full white overalls. at first it may see that a bank robbery may take place but what we don't know is why this i
s going to happen or how it may happen and if you watch on in the movie you would never think that what did happen, happened when you watched the start of it.

How The Setting/Location Is Revealed:the setting is first a obvious dark room with a guy in a black top talking. This straight away makes the audience think hat is going on in the sequence and makes them want to watch on. Then the scene moves to the same man in what appears to be a prison cell. The two scenes that was opened to us makes the audience want to watch in suggesting that they are now tide to what may happen in the movie which is exactly what the directors want to happen by doing this.

Interesting Camerawork/Editing: The camera work is quite insteressing fo
r example the first shot we see is a close up of the man then the second is a mid/close up of him laying down but the good thing about the shot is that it is over him so it gives us a great angle to look at.
