Hunter:




This thriller opening is a good idea. However it hasn't efficiently carried out it's correct mise-en-scene for example: the setting of the play is in a school and it is clear that it is in a school. As well as, it contains some of the key elements of a thriller. One of the great key elements in which they have performed within a thriller is that they have used the correct music with the scenery. Nevertheless, the audience have a very clear idea of what is happening due to the fact that it is about a school teacher who is a murderer. Therefore, i feel as if they could have made this better by not showing who the murderer is. This is because it will make the audience want to see more of this as they would like to find out who the murderer really is. Furthermore, this thriller opening is full of bright colours and this shows feelings to the audience that it wont be about danger and death. Nonetheless, it was which in this case is very unusual.

After eight:



I feel that this thriller opening was filmed particularly well and that it was successful i all key elements of a thriller opening. This thriller opening keeps the audience aware of what this could be about. This is a thriller opening where you cannot tell what is going on. People will see this and ask themselves what is this about? However, we can clearly see that at the beginning of the scene the man has come home from work as he looks smart but is wearing black clothes to show the great use of mise-en-scene and that the women is most likely a house wife. The music which is played in the background has been used efficiently as it fits perfectly in time with the movement of both characters and the audio gets more upbeat when the scene becomes more dramatic. Additionally, the scene enforces the sense of mysteriousness and trouble and the reason for this is because we are not able to see what it is that the women in cooking until the very end. Both the people in the scene must be cannibals as it is a hand that they are cooking for dinner. Correspondingly, the editing of this thriller opening has been done in a good manner although the transition that was used was straight cuts. Nevertheless, it worked very well within this clip as it helped to build suspense.
