Thriller Comparison
Do you think you have created a successful
thriller sequence and why?
I believe the thriller sequence that my group created was to the best of our ability and it can have the potential to be a successful sequence to our target audience. I think this because the sequence portrays several key themes that can be recognized to the people watching the sequence for example the theme of a tense chase scene is obvious and is something we think the target audience will enjoy through the research we have carried out by using questionnaires.
I also think the thriller sequence that we created can be successful to our target audience category of the 15 rated as it holds several key conventions such as having an antagonist and protagonist and having a exciting chase scene.
Which micro element, best shows your creativity and understanding of thriller conventions the most?
I believe the micro element that best shows my groups creativity is the editing side of the sequence, this allowed the group to manipulate the sequence by adding different sound effects and using simple animations to make the scene of a better standard. In addition I believe that the other elements add further understanding the thriller conventions.

Halloween Comparison-
A comparison can me made between the successful thriller film Halloween as it has several POV shots which are included in the opening sequence also this is very similar to the sequence I have created as my thriller sequence does also have numerous point of view shots within both characters. Furthermore the low key lighting in the opening scene of halloween can draw a comparison as my sequence is also set at night with a feeling of horror added within it.
In addition the narrative is similar as their is an innocent victim involved in both sequences as well as it is also a female victim and there also is a violent killer added within the sequence of both Halloween and my thriller. Another comparison can be made through the use of sound effects at different parts of the sequence as my group aimed to create a tense environment that halloween have created for their audience.
