My first impression of the thriller genre and the film i will be creating!

My first impressions of media studies are good and so far what we have done i have enjoyed greatly and felt i have learn't quite alot, especially about the thriller genre. When i found out we were going to have to use the thriller genre for our films, i was feeling pretty good as before i started media i felt i had reasonably good knowledge of films including thrillers. Over the last fortnight i have watched a variety of thrillers some of which were: Godfather, Smokin' Aces, Face Off, City of God and Sin City. Also in class we have started watching a few thriller: vertigo and Chinatown, Layer Cake and Sin city. From watching a range of thrillers i have recognised that they all have thriller signifiers. Some typical thriller signifiers come from many different aspects which are: Plot and narrative, Tone and atmosphere, Mise en scene, Characters, Themes and finally cinematography.
