 Opening Scene

It is important to follow the codes and conventions of any film so that the audiecne can identfiy the genre and therefore prepare themsevles for what events will occur  , however , it is essentional that you follow the codes and conventions of a thriller as the codes and conventions make up and determine the overall viewing pleasure ; elements such as sound , camera angles and content are elements that are considered to be conventions , and can/must be used in thrillers in order to create fear and excitement for your audiecne to expiercne.

First use of elements :

Our first camera shot the audeicne expiercne is the use of a extreme close up , the extreme close up is used to show the characters eye , this confuses tha audiecne as it is the first shot , and uses a mysteroius , disequilliberum effect. The use of an extreme close up is conventional to a thriller as it effects the audiecne due to them not understanding the scene completely and therefore they have a split emotion between fear and excitement.The first use of sound within our film obessed will be the soundtrack , we are yet to create the soundtrack however it will consist of weary and slow building up beats this will be conventional as it will engage the audience and develop a intreset in the film from them , furthermore , they would be able to link the sound or music in the scene when something bad is about the occur or on the other hand be able to link the music in with how we are trying to represent the character , whether it be a negative sound for the angtangist or postive for the protangist. The first use of editing withing our film is a straight cut , we use this after our first shot , this is effective as we flood ideas into our audiences head in a short period of time in order for them to be interacted with the scene and make assumptions. Straight cuts are conventional and they can create fear via the use of a quick flash like transition.
Our opening scene allows the audience to establish that the film is a thriller due to the use of these elements which may further thier interest within the film.

Second use of elements :

The second camera shot used in obession was the shot of panning , panning is an effective shot as it allows us to view the location of the scene whilst still focusing on the character. Panning is a conventional camera as it can allow the audiecne to become more engaged in the scene and also have a further knowledge of the scene, panning is therefore a coventional camera to the genre of a thriller. Our second use of sound is also a soundtrack however the sound slowly changes into a more upbeat sound as the narrative starts to develop and this is shown by the sound and represents the mood of the scene via use of the sound. Soundtrack is used in thrillers to add to character representation and enchance the effectiveness of the scene.Our second use of editing consists of a point of view from the character troy , this is a effective shot as it allows the audiecne to view the scene through his eyes and feel an intake of his postion. The point of view shot is conventional to thrillers as it can help produce a character profile and develop more emotion for the character.

Third use of elements :

Our third camera shot used is a mid-shot , our character troy is shot in his secret location , a mid shot contains ther character from waist upwards , this shot is effective as it allows the audiecne to identify what the character is wearing and what the clothing represents , furthermore this shot is effective as it includes the facail emotions and body language and therefore shows the characters all round expression which is a factor when describing why the mid-shot is a conventional thriller camera shot. Our third use of sound is a startling sudden sound which represents the characters emotions when he discovers the syumbolic props, we think this is an effective and conventional use of sound as the audeicne can identify the current mood of the scene via the use of the sound. Our third use of editing is the use of a shot reverse shot , from the item to the characters face then back to the item , this is effective as it allows the audiecne to create an idea of the purpose of the relationship with the character and the item. Shot reverse shot is conventional to thrillers as they are usally assiocated with conversations between characters which are used in signifcent parts in films and therefore could deciate the rest of the narrative.
