USING TRAILERS TO RESEARCH THRILLER CODES AND CONVENTIONS

I decided to use trailers to research thriller codes and conventions because in a short space of time they manage to enthrall the viewer into watching as well as managing to display all the elements that make a striking thriller film. This allows me to be able to browse lots of different films without having to sit down and watch the whole of the film. This means in one lesson i can look at 20+ films and see what codes and conventions they all follow. This has been very useful as these similar codes that i have seen can set as guidelines for our filming.

    A good idea. Give examples of a few of your observations.

    Please look at the class blog and post your work on the following:
    1. The Art of The Title (analysis of at least one opening, ideally three)
    2. The Art of The Title (your own project sketched out in grid form of 9 frames as in The Art of The Title's website) as suggested by our chief examiner on http://petesmediablog.blogspot.com/
    2 (a) (optional) One detailed time-line of an opening sequence as suggested on Pete Fraser's blog http://cmdiploma3.blogspot.com/2009/10/homework-for-6-11-october.html
    3. Under your Word cloud, an account of thriller/crime film codes & conventions, using the websites given to you
    4. Your own film treatment (in words)
    5. Regular accounts of your group's planning and decisions so far
