Class Excercise

Sarah:
This task was conducted as a whole class in which we were given a poster with a snapshot of a thriller film and we had to write down 3 questions related to the image that we wanted to find out - but someone else might know the answer too. So really just obvious questions. This task was made to make us think about more than just the character and plot. It made us think about the camera angles, camera frames, lighting, props, costumes, etc. Whilst doing this we learnt many typical thriller film properties, so when we make our own thriller films, we will remember these posters and think about what props, costumes, lighting, angles, etc. we may want to use.

Jack:
We were given stills from thriller films and were told to write down as many questions on what we wanted to know about the still! I found it easier to ask questions about the films that I hadnt seen as i was unsure of the story line and what happened in the rest of the scene that th still had been taken from. The films that i had seen i knew what was going to happen and the outcome and therefore found it harder to come up questions for the still.
