Bourne Identity Thriller Analysis The extract constructs meaning through the four technical elements * Camera shots, angles, movement and composition * Editing * Sound * Mise-en-scene Here are all of the four technical elements that will have been covered: Camera shots usually show meaning though how the scene is being played out and what type of things is actually happening during that scene. Low angles have been portrayed thought this extract showing us as the audience that Jason (a middle aged male)  is not in control when the police find him sleeping on the bench at the park in the middle of winter. The police however though this extract show us no confirmation that they are trying to help Jason Bourne figure out who he is and what had happened to him before Jason lost his memory. Close-ups have also been introduced though this extract, these close-ups have been usurer to show to portray to the audience what and how Jason may be feeling at that given moment (reflec...

Opening Sequences What's the purpose of opening Sequences?  The purpose of an opening sequence is for it to establish the mood and visual character of a film. It is also used to introduce the viewer to all or some of the elements such as Characters, locations, plot, themes and narrative. What's the difference between opening credits and a title sequence?  In some films, the title sequence is preceded by a cold open. The opening credits help establish the setting and the tone of the program. What Techniques be employed in an opening sequence?  Quick cuts -  portray lots of information to the audience as well as create suspense to the thriller genre. Opening sequence to show setting. This clearly gives information to the audience and can create more suspense clearly based on what genre the film has been set in. No music playing during an opening sequence can give the audience a sense that there is some sort of suspense that is showing within the fil...

PRELIMINARY TASK 1: Overall Plan/ Plot: the beginning of the scene the screen will appear black and GCH Productions will appear on the screen showing the audience who has made the film. "Close Shave" as the title of the film already gets the audience intrigued by what the film may be about. As the black screen fades away the audience will then get introduced to a wide shot, showing of the character reaching for the door handle, (this is called Mise-En-Scene). We will then use a fade in (transition - editing), this will then link in with the beginning of the film as everything has been introduced with a slow entrance of the titles. As the film starts the music has not been introduced, all the audience can hear at this point is the use of Diagetic music (knocking at the door) coming from the actual film. The following shot that will be introduced to the audience will then be a match on action shot, this will show the audience the character opening the door and walking ...

Thriller brainstorm: Rationale: Chene Harris Brain storm: Asylum Characters that I have chosen are a mentally ill patient and a news reporter. I chose the mentally ill patient as one of the characters because he gives off a crazy unfit sense of feeling and us as the audience get more curious as to what he may get up to in the next few scenes. The news reporter being character two was chosen because a news reporter gives off an alert or a curious sense of feeling as to what she may be publishing, especially since the news reporter is on her own in an asylum... I based my scenes inside of an asylum because I feel that an asylum in the middle of the night is quite scary but not too scary for a horror. The asylum also gives off that crazy mental sense of feel. During scene one we start off by listening and watching water drop from a pipe onto the ground from quite a distance away, as the camera moves closer the droplets become more visible and they become louder. As we m...
