Different Thriller moodboard
Thursday, 5 December 2013
Type of Narratives
-Liner
-non-liner
-restricted
-omniscient
Liner:
An example of Liner is Taken as it has a clear beginning, middle and end.
An example of a non-liner Thriller would be The Bourne Identity. This is when it has flashback throughout the film, the audience knows the characters more this way, but the film doesn't come clear until the end.
Restricted:
An example of Restricted is Shutter Island as the audience only knows a very little, but enough for the audience to carry on watching as they want to find out more about the characters.
Omniscient:
An example of an omniscient Thriller it The Transporter, this is where the audience knows everything about the characters.
Restricted:
An example of Restricted is Shutter Island as the audience only knows a very little, but enough for the audience to carry on watching as they want to find out more about the characters.
Omniscient:
An example of an omniscient Thriller it The Transporter, this is where the audience knows everything about the characters.
After looking at the different types of narratives a Thriller can be it has made me aware the kinds of things I will need when i choose what type of narrative my Thriller will be.
Mind map for Thrillers
This shows a mind map on Thrillers, which I need to make sure I include when producing the Triller opening sequence.

TV drama lesson work
Masculinity:
Is mainly found in men, but some men can have more then others, also some men can have less masculinity then others as they could act, present and portray more feminine as they could be wearing what society associates with being a female colour such as pink for example. They could also be a woman who acts very masculine, they could also dress very masculine and sounds very manly.
Feminine:
Is mostly found in women, but there can be male characters who are very feminine. This can be displayed by male characters as feminine as they may act, portray or dress what society associates with being feminine. This can also be displayed by a prop such as a handbag or something pink as thats meant to be a girly colour.
Prime Evil-
How is masculinity and feminine shown in the clip?
The male who's wearing pink may be associated with being more feminine then the other men as pink is a girly colour, he also has a shovel as his prop when he goes to comfort the farmer about him having a lion. There is also another male in this clip that some people may associate with being more masculine then the others as he has dogs and a gum as his props. The other male who is being chased by the lion is quite masculine as he's trying to fight off the lion from harming the female called Becky. Becky is most probably the most masculine out of all the women as she tries to fight off the lion from hurting the man, who's chasing it into the trap.
The most feminine charter is probably the male in pink as he acts more like a female then the actual females as he dresses more feminine then the females, he also has more of a feminine prop the the actual females do when they face up to the farmer.
After looking at this I've realized that there doesn't have to be a female portraying everything a female does it can me a man portraying a females ways.

mock question
Cover the four technical areas in the clip from the link.
The four technical areas are:
-Camera shots, angles, movement and composition
-Editing
-Sound
-Mise-en-scene = location, props, lightening and costume
The first time I will be watching this clip I will be commenting on the camera shots, angles, movements and composition.
The camera shots changed as the different scenes came about. The opening scene when the couple are arguing, the camera goes backwards and forward to the female and male, there argument is about their daughter breaking something so their daughter is shown. When the argument has ended the mother goes up to the daughter and kisses her, this is shown as a close up because it shows the audience emoshion the mother feels towards her daughter.
When the females pipe bursts and Peter come and helps her fix it, we can see that there is chemistry between them as the 180 degree angle rule is used to show their conversation they're having and we can see both of their expressions.
When Peter is in the car and hits the daughter there is an extreme close up of his shocked face because he can't believe what he's just done, he doesn't get out of the car to help or see how the little girl is, he just sits in the car shocked at what has just happened. When the father of the daughter runs out to see his daughter lying on the floor, there is a close up to show how angry he is that Peter has just knocked his daughter over.
There is panning when the mother realises what has just happened and rushes to see her daughter. There is a close up when she realises that the man in the car is Peter as she is very shocked and also doesn't want her husband to find out what has gone on between the two of them.
The second time I watched the clip I made notes on the sound.
Shouting as the clip begins between the husband and wife as we later discover that they're arguing over their daughter breaking something that the father has worked hard to pay for. There is calming music in the back round during them arguing, the calming gets more clear as they stop arguing. When the husband is at work he's hammering something, which he may be taking out some of his anger out on from the argument that he had earlier which his wife on. The sound of the burst pipe is unexpected, the wife shouts for Peter to come and help her fix her pipe. When the pipe is fixed they both start whispering, as the two lovers start to kiss the music changes, they also whisper when they're planning to meet up next time. We start to hear the noise from the football on the telly which is louder then any other sound. When Peter gets in his car there's an alarming sound we hear with bits of the football sound, as if its building up to something. When the girl is hit by the car we hear intervals of the football on the telly and also of sounds from what has just happened out side. We hear the father getting very angry at Peter, we then here the sirens from the ambience and police turning up. We hear the anger in the mothers voice as she thinks the father wasn't keeping a close enough eye on his daughter and shouts at him for watching the football.
The third time I watched the clip I was looking at the editing of the clip.
When the couple are arguing it goes backwards and forwards between the male and female depending on who's speaking, it then does to the person who the argument is about. The edits slow down once the argument is over and it makes more or a relaxed mood for the audience to watch. The shots are placed as though it's the day just going by. The blond female has the most time on shot. The editing is slow when the girl gets hit by Peter as it makes it more dramatic, the football on the television slows down.
The forth time I watched this clip I was looking at the Mise-en-Scenc.
The lightening in the house is rather dual, but it's more bright when it's out side. The way people are dressed is rather casual as they aren't doing anything special in there day, the only person who is dressed rather smart and that's Peter as he may work in an office. The mother is very emotional and shocked to find her daughter knocked over by a car especially Peter being the driver as she doesn't want her husband to find out about them. Both of the men are the main bread winners of the house holds, but the women still get there say on what goes on in the house. The location to where the husband is normally in front of the telly or at work, as for the women they are normally in the kitchen, cleaning or looking after the children.
Could/should of added more information on camera shots,
who has more like on screen
who is more motivated
angles to show who has more power
how does it show who's a stereotypical man or woman
sounds e.g screaming, shouting and banging (masculine or feminine sounds)
