Analyzing past thriller projects


Two Minds - Long-road Media Students Last Year.

This piece has a variety of shots, which include long shots, (when boy is going into the toilets) mid shots, transitions of merging from one boy to the next
close up on the montage of shots and a extreme close up of the boys eyes at the beginning.

Looking in the mirror and coming out as someone different could have been improved, if the snap from one clip to the other was smoother, and if the lighting
wasn't so dark, so we could seen the reflection of the other persons face in the mirror better.

The montage of shots, was very effective because it almost gave reason behind the establishing shot of the boy on the bench. Also the montage gave
very thriller feel, as it had jump cuts, which kept us engaged, and also made us want to watch more of the clip.

The music was quite calm which was appropriate to the thriller conventions because the live action mixed well with the music, which made the clip seem very
strange, and aery, it gave a sort of mystery behind the clip.

The titles blended in with the action so it didn't really stand out, however the title two minds at the end, it was in a spray painted font was effective and
memorable.




Curiosity- Long Road Media Students Last year.

Engaging crumpled paper effects at the beginning to introduce the title. Black and white very contrasted grainy effect, for the establishing shot, introduces
the main character. When zooming in on the girls picture, the red effect made it very effective, and makes it clear to the audience who the victim may be,
there is a blurry transition of pictures and the lower half of the man with the knife, when introducing the knife they made an effect to make it shine in the light
it was effective as it makes the knife look alot more important than it is
The calm music contrasts with the act that the audience will be lead to believe is to follow.
The music was very effective, i thought it was very good and well made.
The variety of camera angles Mid shots, of glimmering knife, zoom on the girls picture, a mid shot at the beginning of the main character and when he is looking through
the pictures.
