9 frame analysis suggestions - the more you do the more marks I can give you individually!!!

Hi All

These are my top 10 recommendations for films that are excellent examples of Thrillers:

1 Memento
2 Fight Club
3 Rear Window
4 The Machinist
5 Inception
6 Usual Suspects
7 Leon
8 Enemy of the State
9 One Hour Photo
10 Seven

All these films demonstrate strong visual conventions of Lighting, Props, Locations, Characters & Story...and are NOT Horrors!

For your 9 frame analysis, watch the film complete.

The watch the opening & still the 9 frames from the opening (NOT TITLES) that best demonstrate:

1. What is the purpose of the Opening of a Film?
2. How does it set up Thriller conventions of characters, story, mystery, Engima code?
3. What makes the audience want to watch the rest?

Comment on these questions and put on your individual blog


THE MORE FILMS YOU ANALYSE THE BETTER YOUR INDIVIDUAL MARK WILL BE.

I will be screening a selection of these over the next 7 weeks at Film Club
