We have chosen the sub-genre 'crime' for our thriller production because it fits our potential ideas well and after doing much research, we feel that it is one of the genres that the audience will most attach itself to and easily relate to, as murder and terrorism (main themes used in crime thrillers), are mainly associated within society which gives the film more of a realistic feeling.
Elements of Mise-en scene which are normally used in thrillers are mostly dim lighting hiding parts to a character, large threatening weapons for props e.g. large knives, guns etc. Camera shots are normally point of view shots, frames within frames, or close ups. Often there is also a lot of camera movement. Colors are also used to signify different emotions like red connotes blood or danger, blue cold mystery or death.
Isolation and entrapment are commonly used themes as well, which we are looking to include within our opening sequence.
