Genre Research/ Codes and Conventions:
Genre Research/ Codes and Conventions Codes and Conventions ‘Thriller Definition’ High stakes, non-stop action, plot twists, exciting settings and an adrenalin packed climax. An exciting, suspenseful play or story, especially a mystery story that thrills the audience. Quick changes in camera angles – LS to CU quickly – pace is faster and picks up audience’s attention more. Close-ups of key subjects/events – shows importance/relevance to the storyline. Wide shots – establish surroundings, but normally surroundings are in darkness and even though audience are being shown a wide shot, they can’t always see the background clearly. Film Inspirations: The Messengers – shows the background of the film through a flashback/memory (picture in black and white suggests its old), all 3 characters get murdered but are not actually shown, and neither is the murderer. Con Air – I evaluated this film because if relates to the action in the film and the fast pace of the storyline. The cuts in the film is also reflect the cuts we use.
