location 2
We have chosen this location because we need a dark room for some of our scenes and this is the best place we could find.

one of our main locations of our thriller project
We have chosen to use the Fitzwilliam as our main location because it is easy to get to and will fit our thriller idea very well.

This student thriller opening follows the conventions of the genre through themes of voyeurism and possible murder. The girl is followed around the woods and the viewer sees her through the lens of a camera, indicated through the effects on screen. The mise en scene creates a suspenseful atmosphere, as forests are often associated with getting lost, and is often the setting for horror and thriller films. However, this dark atmosphere is contrasted by the girl laughing and playing with leaves, which helps to set up an enigma regarding how the girl dies. The piano sound is creepy, albeit stereotypical of the genre, and the screeching noise interrupting when the colour changes emphasizes the fact that something bad is happening.

panic room sequence analysis

The opening thriller sequence we pick is Panic Room. We pick this because it is unconventional, in the thriller genre. The sequence is very minimalistic, it show large letters suspended in a New York cityscape. There is a contrast with the unsettling music and the billboard depicting a couple embracing. There is further contrast in the open atmosphere as the film itself is claustrophobic in its nature. There is also subtle indication of suspension yet to come. The extreme long-shots establish how built up and confusing a metropolis can be tied in with the title "Panic Room". The letters are reflected in the windows to create the illusion that the letters are actually there.
