What I Learnt Last Lesson ...

Last lesson i learnt many new things.
The first of these things was the Brief,
'The titles and opening of a new fiction film, to last a maximum of 2 minutes'
This is what we have to do in order to full marks in our project.

We all were given a mark scheme showing us what criteria we need to meet in order to get certain marks - i am aiming to get level 4's as this will ensure my target grade is met. It is a group project but we will all be marked individually.

I learnt many conventions of thriller films during the lesson and the opening of the film 'Memento'(Nolan, 2000, U.S.). Some examples of these are:
- Shock Tactics - Sophisticated
- Tension - Ask Questions
- Suspense - Jumpy
- Night Time - Fog
- Mist - Cliff Hangers
- Complex Crime - Eerie Music

We were also taught the differences between a horror and a thriller - as many people were getting the 2 mixed up. In a horror film you tend to see lots of violence and this is what attracts the viewers, but in a thriller you have to imagine what happens yourself and things are left to your imagination.
Thrillers are typically for a more sophisticated and adult audience due to their complex story lines and twists.
