Watching clips

In our last media lesson, before we broke up for the Christmas holidays we watched four clips taken from four different films; Collateral, 28 Days Later, What Lies Beneath and The Shining. But before we started to watch these clips, as a class we made a brainstorm about what a thriller is, how they’re identified and also learnt that there are varieties of different thriller e.g. sci fi, supernatural and political thrillers. We were also given a table which we had to fill in while we were watching the clips from each film, there were many sections which we had to fill out which included; lighting, distance, use of camera movement, angle, soundtrack, sound effects, editing, setting, and location of each thriller.
After watching The Shining we categorised it as a supernatural thriller and Collateral as a political thriller.
