What I've learnt...

Over the last week I've gotten a fair amount of knowledge on how to critically anyalyse a thriller trailer, opening titles and also what a thriller film needs to have to make it come under that specific genre. I've learnt that suspense and mystery - and also that the story - is all set up in the main and opening credits of a film, from colours used to fonts, from shots to edited cuts. I now know what I can expect from a thriller film, just by sitting down and watching the opening credits and I think it will really help me come to terms with what I need to know about thrillers as a subject of media.
