The shining- 10/12/08

on Wednesday we firstly brained stormed our practical theme of thriller. this included details on: what a thriller is?; conventions of a thriller;different genres of a thriller; common directors/actors and examples of thrillers.

for the rest of the lesson we watched a horror thriller called 'The shining' this was a film about a man and his wife and son, being a caretaker of a hotel during its off peak season and the mental effects the isolation had on the father and a rare 'ability' that his son had.

This was an good example for as it showed us several techniques that brings suspense and tension to the scenes, which we can recreate and input into out own practical course work to make it as effective and profesional.
