Window Pane

Shot one shows our company logo spotlight productions, we chose this one because we liked the idea of the moving logo and we think this one represented this idea well.

Shot two shows the lighting of our thriller, within the captive seen there is very low lighting to create a mysterious effect. It also gives a view of the lighting that is used throughout our thriller. It is very low lighting apart from when there is flashback shown when it suddenly changes to natural, bright lighting to show the contrast between the two sets of shots.

Shot three shows a close up of the weapon in the hands of the enemy this is a very significant prop to our opening sequence as it is used in one of the most important events in our sequence - the killing.

Shot four shows the costume worn by the hostage, a torn, muddy, blood covered shirt, ripped trousers and a hessian sack covering his face this was a strong mise en scene point for our thriller.

Shot five shows an example of camerawork that is used commonly throughout our sequence to signify certain props and aspects of mise en scene. In this case, it is the football which is important to the scene as it brings back happy memories.

Shot six shows piece of camera work we used which was a hand held camera looking at the victim in the bushes this showed that the audience were looking through the point of view of the killer.


Shot seven shows a long shot of the couple playing football, this also reflects the thriller convention of the extraordinary happening in the ordinary world. For example, the extraordinary is a normal scene in this case of a couple playing football compared with the ordinary event of a shot of the captive. 


Shot eight shows a close up of the gun against the face of the victim this also shows the media convention of Voyeurism because the gun is placed against a woman's head. This is often used to show women as commodities to be had. 


Shot nine shows the hostage on his side it shows that he gets emotional when placed in a situation where he is forced to think about his one main weakness, his 'achilles heel'.
