Past Student Analysis

Past student Analysis 

Before my group will make our film together we will first start off with watching some past student's films and then comment on them, what we like about them, what we dislike and what we think could have been done better. We have to do this so then we could possibly use some of their techniques that they used, and then maybe try to incorporate them into our film.

Finders Keepers

In my opinion this example of a student Thriller is an excellent one, straight from the beginning of the film we can see some key thriller conventions, first of all starting with the fact that the macguffin of the story has been seen straight away. The use of music in this thriller has been used almost perfectly, it has been used to build up the tension needed at the start of the film and then also when the chase starts, the music changes into a piece of music with a faster tempo, therefore making it seem like that everything has picked up in pace. The location of the filming is excellent as well, they went up to London so they could have the space to run about and film in great detail. I think that there is barely anything to note that I disliked about the film, I thought that the camera shots were steady, the music was incredibly suited well to the film. However one thing I would try to change the ending because it ends up being too dark.

The Routine

Another Student Thriller that i watched was called 'The Routine'. I thought that this one was yet another good type of Thriller. However I also thought that it would end up being quite predictable, it has a few re runs of the protagonist's daily routine from when he wakes up but one day the routine of his day are slightly ruined, things kept changing and it was pretty obvious that the antagonist was the person who changed the routine. The use of music throughout this piece of work was done incredibly well.

Waking up

Here is another Past student thriller that I watched and enjoyed, it is called waking up and consists of very decent aspects that make the thriller a decent opening, it contains aspects such as compelling music, accompanied with decent acting. The premise of the opening is good as a thriller ,as it leads us into the overall story of the thriller quite fast, then ends when the thriller is getting interesting, just for it to grab our attention for long enough to want to watch it.
