Analysis of coursework - representation & audience

1: Representation

For the opening shot of out thriller project consisted of, instead of just doing a basic shot of the main character walking into shot to introduce him, an aerial shot slowly zooming outwards. This allowed us to incorporate two things. One, the shot represents Emiles isolation and vulnerable which is the main point of the thriller and how Tom gains his trust. The second reason why we put in the slow zooming shot is so that we can make the end of the shot seem more suspenseful that it actually was, this would keep the audience engaged for the opening credits.

The end shot of our thriller project where Tom is talking to the phone to a stranger, this is a low angle shot, we did this to show now that Tom was the powerful one of the two.  Throughout the rest of the thriller we made sure not to include any other low angle shots etc. so not to give the audience a clue that Tom was anything more than a friend.

The gradual moving from afternoon to evening allowed us use the darkness to make Tom seem even more sinister at the crucial point in the story.
