2. HOW DID WE CREATE TENSION?
Music- this was a key part of our main task so we knew we
needed to find a piece that had a gradual build up and it
needed to be subtle but at the same time outstanding. We
found a piece of music that fitted perfectly into our thriller so
we emailed the creator straight away to ask for permission to
use it in our task. The music we used was Mattia Cupelli - The
War For Earth, it is very mysterious and it has an extremely
good build up to the ending.
Props- When planning our main task we decided that it would
be very good and realistic if we had guns, these made our
thriller seem much more professional and organised. The use of
a gun means that people will automatically feel on edge and
they will feel very tense.
3. HOW DID WE CREATE TENSION?
Costumes- This was a key part of our thriller and so we decided
that we should make both sets of henchmen match in some sort
of way. One set were both in chinos and a shirt, this looked very
smart and organised whilst the other pair were in black t -shirts
and camo trousers, this . This would create tension because it ’s
a deal between opposites, also the use of the matching
costumes would mean that it would seem very organised and
professionally done.
4. HOW DID WE ADDRESS AND ENGAGE THE
AUDIENCE?
We built the tension very well and it had a slow build up yet there
was still quite a lot happening In the scenes.
How we engaged the audience and built the tension?
-The music starts of as very mysterious and engages the audience
straight away.
- After this the phone call makes the audience think abut the plot
and what's going on, It will mean that they are waiting in
anticipation of what's going to happen.
-The use of the exaggerated sound of the ticking watch shows how
time is running out and that there could be a life at risk.
-There is then a close up of an assault rifle and this means that
the audience will know that things could get violent any second so
they will be engaged throughout. When the car pulls in the gates
the mise en scene of the caution signs shows that there could be
danger ahead and that anything could happen.
5. HOW DID WE ADDRESS AND ENGAGE THE
AUDIENCE?
-We didn't’t hold the camera completely steady because we
wanted the audience to feel like they were seeing the
surroundings through the detectives view. This makes the
audience feel more tense because he was so close to them and
could get spotted any minute.
-When the man gets dragged out of the car it answers a lot of
questions for the audience about what they are doing there and
why everything seems so secretive.
- And finally the build up of music means that it goes from
subtle to exciting and loud as we get closer to the end and goes
out with a bang.
