In order to create a connection with
our target audience we used a variety of short changes in shots at
the beginning of the thriller. We used a variety of different shots
of the same scene to add meaning and depth. We wanted our thriller to
be tense to and we achieved this by using lots of shorts shots at the
beginning and having a long black screen of just audio. Using only
audio for a scene draws the audience in closing and makes them pay
more attention to the sound to figure out what is going on. By
displaying a blank screen and creating car noises and driving away we
can creates the audience to believe that there is a vehicle involved
in the thriller and the body on the stretcher is being driven away.
The last couple of shots satisfy the audience in two ways. First of
all it satisfies the audience that what they had pictured in their
heads from the audio was in fact what was really happening. Secondly
the whole of the thriller before the last couple of shot was building
up the tension slowly including the shot of adam getting out the car.
When the audience adam open the van doors and gets shot by the man
who was on the stretcher to it releases all the tension from that one
shot and shock and surprises the audience a the same time.
The beginning first shots of our
thriller set the mood as being dark and mysterious. The thriller
starts off with a black screen and a the opening sequences titles
staring to fade in and out. The music then slowly fades in creating
the dark and mysterious atmosphere. The reason why we have so many
shots of the trolley is because we want the audience to slowly figure
out and conclude what is going on, this adds to the tension of the
thriller as well.
We have an over shoulder shot of matt
pushing the trolley. In this shot you can see slightly of what is on
top of the stretcher. You can see out of focused at the end of the
trolley which indicates to the audience that there is a body on the
stretcher. The shot also shows the audience the setting and they can
see that it is down a corridor. This shot makes the audience want to
know were the trolly is going and what purpose.
The tilting down shot from adam to
Mauricio on the stretcher is our first real glimpse of what is really
on the trailer. This shot gives the audience it's first real hint of
what is really on the stretcher. The shot is sustained on the
stretcher only for a glimpse, this attracts the audience want to
watch more to satisfy their belief. The camera also stops on the head
which symbolises importance to the audience and makes them think more
about whats underneath. In this shot the audience can can the matt is
wearing blue scrubs which makes them think
This shot is shot through the door at
the end of the corridor of matt pushing the trolley towards the
camera. The shot is out of focus as we wanted to keep the mysterious
shots to add to the tension. This creates the audience to sustain
their concentration in the shot as it comes into focus so they have a
focused perspective of the shot. You also see a full head on view of
matt pushing the trolley revealing a lot to the audience.
The next shot is of matt pushing the
trolley through the door which then fades to black. This shot
attracts the audiences attention as they now have a much larger view
of what is going on which is a difference from the extreme close-ups.
This shot creates the audience to want to know where the trolley is
going after the door and as the shot fades to black what is after the
pause. The shot subtly fades out creating a more mysterious
atmosphere for the audience as the music fades out.
The next shot is a very quick shot of
the doors being shut. In this shot we have heightened the sound so
that it alerts and awakens the audience from the subtle being and
from the fading to black as the music fades out. The audience are now
more alert and surprised. This shot hints to the audience that the
stretcher has been put into the back of the van without having to
show the stretcher being put into the back of the van.
We then only hear the audio for the net
shots which makes the audience pay much more close attention to the
sound. Amongst the car noises you hear a heightened bagging sound
followed by time more, the sound is muffled to so the audience
believe that it is coming from the inside of the van
after the audio we then have a shot of
Adam the driver getting out the car, the shot opens with the bury,
rainy window of the van and adam in the drivers seat. We cannot see
adam only a few faint colours and a outline. This relates make to the
beginning of the thriller as we are slowly show the identity of matt
to keep it mysterious. The audio also ties in in this shot.
The next shot is of adam walking tow
towards the camera with a concerned look on his face. We chose to
shot this from the front so that we could see his facial expression.
The facial expression creates the audience to believe that there is
something unknown that has happened.
We are then in the perspective from
inside the van. We shot this shot so that the audience could see
adams facial expressions and depict the mood of the situation. The
audience then see a gun come from inside the van pointing at adam and
in a split second it flicks to the next shot to where we have a front
view of Mauricio. The audience see a man in a white apron and
hospital patient attire and conclude that this was the body on the
stretcher.
The end shock the audience the whole
of the thriller is a calm and quite build up of tension and then a
sudden peak to release it. the gun shot Satisfies the audience need for a break in the tension although the gun shots come as a great surprise
