ANALYSIS OF AN A.S THRILLER

Through the technical codes i analysed an A.S thriller in order to help me to start and think about my A.S thriller. The sequence i used is called Reflection. 


MISE-EN-SCENE: 

The black leather gloves on the killer presents the idea to the audience that he is up to no good. His facial expressions are sneaky and almost evil which makes the audience fell suspicious of him. Furthermore his long black trench coat alerts the audience to something haunting about this character. Binary opposition is used as the killer appears sister making the women appear innocent. The house is set in a isolated location adding to the suspense fulness of the sequence. Signs in the house make the women into a family life mother. For example the pictures and push chair in the corner which draw sympathy from the audience for the women. 

Camera angles: The close up of the killer's face locking the door and shutting the door allows the audience to see his evil smirk on his face, suggesting to the audience this man can't be trusted. There is a tilt down shot to show he has stolen the key, again this is not 'normal' behaviour and so the audience get more freaked by this character. The tracking shot of the killer walking around the house presents how empty the house is indicating what danger lies ahead for the women because there is no where to escape. The sequence ends with a close up of the killer's glove next to her hand, indicating that she will not live and the killer will once again kill. 

Editing: Eye-line match is used frequently in this sequence.For example when the killer takes the key, which brings the audience's attention to his strange behaviour because most 'normal' policemen don't steal keys, this infers something bad will happen. 

Sound: There is a non-diegetic sound as he enters the house in order to indicate his nasty side to the audience. The slow non-digetic sound helps to build up tension in the sequence as the killer stalks around the kitchen. The sinister non-diegetic sound indicates the killer is about to murder his victim as he places his hand next to hers.
