Group

Myself Alice and Bethany have decided to be in a group together for the main task. We chose this as we thought we worked well together in the preliminary task. Firstly we went through possible film genres we could use for the task which included drama, horror,thriller and comedy. Me and Alice researched as Bethany wrote down our ideas on a mind map. After this we narrowed it down to drama and thriller, then made the final decision to do a thriller for the task.
   We have chose to do a thriller as it is a stong genre that covers a wide range of sub-genres which include:
  • Conspiracy
  • Crime
  • Disaster
  • Legal
  • Medical
  • Mystery
  • Phycological
  • Supernatural
     Thriller's use suspense, tension and excitment as their main elements with the main idea being to keep the audience constantly on edge. The themes of thriller films frequently include terrorism, poltical conspriacys and love triangles leading to murder or kidnap. Therefore often including characters such as criminals, stalkers, assassins and phychotic individuals.
   In a thriller, the hero must thwart the enemy's plans, and the identity of the criminal or murderer is normally known all along. Thrillers climax when the hero defeats the villian, saving his own life and often the lives of others.
