Within the media world of genres there aren't just thrillers, there are types of thrillers, as a thriller you might have a stereotype idea of a thriller when it comes to mind, it could be dark and gloomy or a slasher with lots of blood and guts. However, behind these different stereotypes are the different types of thrillers, the different thriller type can change the feel of the film such as the pace, the suspense, the plot in general, etc.  Different types of thrillers: Spy thrillers - e.g. James Bond series Political thrillers - e.g. Argo Military thrillers - e.g. Saving Private Ryan Conspiracy thrillers - e.g. The insider Medical thrillers - e.g. Coma Forensic thrillers - e.g. The Bone Collector Psychological thrillers - e.g. Gone Girl Supernatural thriller - e.g. The others Some thrillers can also be more than just thrillers as in media there are movies or tv-shows that are hybrid genres which is when a movie is a mixed of genres which is why they're ca...

In preparation for our thriller opening, my group and I have done some practicing in lighting as we've just learnt a couple of different lighting techniques used in all types of productions: these are... 3-point fill lighting- this technique provides natural lighting across an entire object, e.g. a person, this is the exact opposite of chiaroscuro lighting.

Backlighting- This technique is in its name, the source of light (which is generally natural light) to create a silhouette, this can be used romantically- in front of a sunset- or horror- to hide the identity ...

The directed is Tim Miller, and the layout supervisor (who created this scene) is Franck Balson. I've seen this film before and I love it the way its made and how the film breaks the fourth wall is so unique as the majority of films don't do this, also the way in which they've used the main characters personality in the titles works really well to introduce him into the film: he's sarcastic, cocky and arrogant. Below is the opening clip...                 Through out the beginning of the opening sequence they've used an extreme close up and pans around the scene not showing you the whole imagine until the end in which it shows a car rolling. They've done this to show detail within the scene as its m...
