Piano music, also birds but then turns into tense music
Panning of the landscape
Use of computer typing and close up of computer screen words
Mixture of black and white and colour
Camera going through grass to find a phone
Goes dark with only a lighter lite – blown out in slow motion

Different shots of two guys walking
Typical villain – black hoodie
Dialogue music is tense
Twist being right at the start
The title is very interesting

Starts with a chase and continually goes back to his memory of it
Goes to dialogue
Looking out through windows
Tense music
Slow motion
Black and white
Feeling of being watched
Freezes with title at the end.

  2. this research has helped us gain an insight into other work and their ideas of what a thriller contains. We can see what they have done well such as camera shots and transitions and also what they haven't done particularly well.
    We can use this and apply to our work. Also youtube has comments and other links, this allows to see what other students or adults think which broadens our audience knowledge.
