Student Thriller

My student thriller is called 'Obession'. To start with i did like this open squenece as it used a key idea to keep you within the fear of the unknown. I will try and use this style in my thriller. I found the music to be exellent the strange scrathing noises alomost through out kept you on wondering, even though i would of persoanlly used that particalr noise a little less as it got a bit anyoing. This is the kind of music i would use in my opening squence not a very strong music just light strings with weird noises over the top. The simple writting used to show the peoples names i found effect as it wasn't to distracting to take you away from the sequence, even though i would of ade the writting bigger. The lighting is dark through out which i like as it again emfersizes the fear the unknown. There are a few mistakes that distact from the over al performance like when the mystery person opens the door his trainers are in the hall and when you see the computer screen you can see what he is looking at. (msn and football manger) This made me laugh and i got drawn out of the creepyness of the thriller. The editing used was very sharp and there where no poor scene changes, i liked the fact it went between titles and footage to break up the pattern. The probs of the photos are very good as they make you think why am I being shown this what it for? So it is always keeping you guessing without giving to much away. There are also a few sutle qualties to the footage which I only noticed after a few times of watching, so maybe they should of been clearer e.g on the laptop next to a picture was an address maybe saying where that particular person is lives. The ending to the thriller is the best i have seen out of all the ones i have watched, even though it may be giving to much away. The lighing is good so you still can't see the persons face that is something i will use in my project and the way there is know music adding to the dramatic effect. Just hearing the tape obviosuly going over someones mouth is enough to keep you guessing.
