Analysis Of Student Thriller

The Fugue Student Thriller

We studied a student's Thriller and analyesed there opening. We will compare there thriller opening to the openings of profestional films like se7en and brick that we watched in class.

The Thriller opens with a looking down shot of a bus which as the bus moves the camera starts to pan form right to left. The opening shots are quite long which seems to drag on the opening. The shots are effective and help to capture different views of the character and also the different colours and scenery that is also in the shot.

The thriller is edited well with the transitons helping to making the shtos run smoothly into each other. The length of the shots are mostly at the start quite long but later on in the opening there are quickly cut shots that help to create tension and gets you as the audience thinking about what is going to happen at the end.

The shots edited are in tandem with the music thatagain helps to create a desterbing atmosphere for the audience and makes it misleading in the audience beleiveng that something will jump out.

The lighting in the opening changes in every shot. Having just the sunlight as the light the lighting varies from where the camera is positionsed. This helps to make the character look more mysterious.

The idea of having a person on a bus was misleading also and got the audience trying to work out what the person represents and also what are they doing on a bus.
