1st Task In The Last Lesson Before X-MAS

In the lesson before Christmas we were shown a few thriller openings such as 28 Days Later, Collateral, The Shining and What Lies Beneath.We also looked at the different types of thrillers such as -Psychological, Supernatural thrillers, Comedy Thrillers, Political Thrillers, Romance/Murderous Thrillers, Passion Thrillers, Horror Thrillers and Action thrillers.As we analysed the clips, we looked at the Mise En Scene, The Lighting, and use of camera angles, music, editing and setting.The clip that inspired me the most is from 28 days later. I really liked the different camera angles they used and movement. They used wonky angles to indicate the confusion of the character exploring the abandoned deserted city of London. There were more shots such as tilts, low angle and over the shoulder. Long shots were to show how deserted the area was.The clips were short but continuous. The lighting was natural and a yellowy shade. There were also shots of the important places of London to indicate the setting. The Big Ben, River Thames and the buses were shown.I like the way the film starts with confusion and deserted areas. This makes the audience anxious and curious in what is going on.
