Video Clips of 3 relevant Thriller films:

The Crazies. This film is a really good film and I thought it would be good to use. This film is interesting, different but also very predictable in terms of the plot. You can easily guess what is going to happen at the end of the film. For example you can predict that everyone dies because of the chemicals in the water pipes that they were drinking from but the two main characters would survive and live to tell the tale. This is what I don't like in a film because I want to be surprised by the ending. It was also very unrealistic. The storyline was very exaggerated and by all means you would know that this would never happen. By watching this film we realised that we do not want our film to portray such a predictable and unreal manner, what I mean by this is that the film we make has to be very believable and a potential real life event. Therefore we used this film as a base to achieve the look and effect that we wanted. We tried to make our film as realistic as possible but also leaving suspense and not making the story obvious in terms of what was going to happen in the line of events. The graphics are clever in this film creating an effective explosion and so real settings in which the film took place in. The use of special effects to show a character being hung in the car wash as they were trying to escape worked really well.

Awake. The realism in this film is true and effective. This is what we liked about the film. The events that were shown in this film were true and could be a major possibility in actual daily situations. We took the idea of realism from this film and included the concept in our own film, making the events more likely to happen in a daily routine. For instance a patient being awake during a very risky operation. Although this is very unlikely to happen on a regular basis, it is still a major possibility that it could happen. The film was very cleverly made with good actors and clearly put together well as a film. It was the type of thriller that kept you on the edge of your seats whilst wondering what is going to happen. This type of suspense worked really well as everyone is curious as to what the possibilities could be, and will they be what they are expected to?

Shutter Island. As a film it does not give a good sense of reality as it becomes to far fetched, however as a thriller this film was amazing. The drama involved in it was not very predictable as there were many unexpected twists, the graphics were clever and the amount of tension that was purely built through the amazing acting skills and the tension music in the background. For example the main character walking through a long dark corridor looking for something but didn't quite know what he should expect. This meant that the audience is in the same vote and they also did not know what they should expect or how bad the consequences of his actions would be.
