Suspense thrillers inspire me at the moment as they are fun to watch and always keep you sitting at the edge of your seat as you waiting for somthing to happen.

Definition of Suspense and Thriller

Pleasurable excitement and anticipation regarding an outcome, such as the ending of a mystery novel. For exampel whilst watching Collateral the scene where Vincent (Protagonist) enters the building This scene builds tension as he is trying to get in contact with Anne but fails as he's battery is low as the killer is trying to kill her.

The title sequence the opening i looked at was Sherlock Holmes. The style of the title which is old english makes it look very mysterious, hand written and secretive. In the opening the titles introduce the actors, director, producer and people that were involved in the making of the sherlock holmes film. In the opening there are drawrings of the actors alongside the titles to let the audience see the actors and to make it intressting. The titels fade in and out of each shot which create a mysterious effect , their are long shots to show the location and medium shots of the actors. The way the titles look make the film seem intersting and suspenceful.

Analysis of thriller clip

In our media class. I watched the opening scene of 5 thriller films. The openings i watched where from the films Seven, Arlington Road, Marothon Man , The Shining and Dead Calm.
The opening of the thriller i decided to talk about is Martathon Man.

In the opening of Marathon Man there is a man running on a field in his full running gear, we see this in a tracking shot of him. The shot also shows the location he is in which is a field. As the camera is follwing the man running he runs in a dark lit room , where we see a man in a suit opeing a locker and bringing out a box. This creates suspence as the audience wants to know what is in this box and the low lighting makes it sevretive. The background music in this opening is suspenseful because it is of people sceaming. The titels of the film come in from left to right and then fade away .

Bait tutorial

In our Media lesson we had a tutorial on editing, we lernt how to create a story by editing many different video clips into one and also added music we done this using a program called Final Cut Pro on Aple Mac computers. I started this by watching a video clip and marking the footage I wanted to use for my film and inserted it to lower pannel at the bottom of the screen to create match and jump cuts. I then done this to numourus clips and using the razor tool inserted some of my clips into the middle of other clips. I then added a backing soundtrack of my choice to my video clip.

The screen on the right is the edited clip of the original clip on the left hand side. The clips I edited where inserted to the bottom panel.
