Thrillers I've seen


Thrillers I've seen recently:





This image symbolises a sense of being trapped without knowing it yet because of the prison like bars on the windows. This mid-shot shows the woman to be happy however something will happen to turn her life upside down.


This shot creates tension as it is giving a sense of suspense as a car pulls up outside their house. The fact it is being shown through the peep hole of the door. Also because it's dark, it tells us something bad is going to happen.

This mid-shot from the side symbolises the tense moment of having to make a decision. The fact he is leaning forward with his hands closer to the box shows that he is in control. She appears more wary of him and what is being said to her.

This long shot of the woman shows that she is being watched and is in danger. The high angle used here also conveys this due to the fact that someone is looking down on her especially in such a big open space yet he hasn't been shown on camera yet.




This close-up is used repeatedly throughout the trailer to show how significant it is as the more time they have on their arm, the longer they live. As soon as it reaches zero they die. It keeps the audience engaged in knowing how much time they have left.


This is a mid-shot which has a fence as a separation between the workers and the man in charge of payment. It symbolises a hierarchy which is their way of living in order to survive.

This is a long shot used to show the urgency of reaching each other in order to survive. The woman is about to die as her time has almost run out. This shots really captures the distance to make a more tense moment to show how much she wants more time to live.





 This is a long shot which is used to show the setting and create a sense of danger because something is about to happen. As we can see the lights of the vehicle we can guess there will be a car accident. Also, looking at the setting, it could be that they are about to drive the car off the cliff or hit something.

This close-up of the car is used to emphasise the sudden braking and swerve they have made in order to try and avoid hitting something in the road. The man poking his head through the roof shows that the whole situation is dangerous.

The close-up of this letter is extremely significant to the film because the letter states the title of the movie. It also shows that someone is after them and being a thriller, we know it's not a joke. The black writing also shows a sense of danger.


The low angle here shows that this is the man who is trying to kill them. The hook for a hand is most evident here to show he has control and he is on a mission to murder the people who ran over the man.
