Constructive critisicm for 2 different thriller openings
Q2-47 Parrallel
The opening of the clip contains different effects such as split screen and dissolve, this is apparent to the thriller theme. The music links with the genre aswell, as it is slow and mysterious. The camera shots show places that aren't really necisary; for example a guys foot and they show close ups of this, which also links with the genre, because it's weird to focus on such things.
The screen splits occasionally, so you can see both characters doing the same thing which links to the title of 'parallel'. The blur effect added to the characters movements adds to their distorted feeling. The effect of changing character through a 180 degree camera movement adds to the whole theme of two parallel characters in the same place. The way this clip has been edited looks very professional because of all the cool effects and well used camera shots and angles. The two actors fit the clip well because they look older and do not look at the camera which makes its seem more natural. Also, the guys in the clip appear older than they look, and because thrillers are aimed at an older audience, this makes it appeal to the teenage audience and above.
Q2-43 Cracked
At the beginning, there is use of light and shadow techniques, and a sillouette of a girl smoking, which creates a contrast...

Classic Thriller Analysis
we watched vertigo, meaning fear of heights, the scene consisted of a chase, of a man being chased by a detective and a police man, it begins with a close up of each character climbing up the ladder, this shows the feelings of the characters from their facial expression, there is tense music playing creating the atmosphere and tension and emotions when characters are at risk and when the detective is hanging of the side if the building.
~
you then see the protagonist in peril as he is hanging of the side of the building, the accompanying policeman choose to help the detective instead of catching the criminal, this then fails as the policeman falls of the side if the building when he tries to rescue the detective, the detective then looks down and see the huge drop, this then relates back to the title 'vertigo'.
