Collateral

Collateral
what makes ''Collateral'' a thriller? .
In collateral the actor uses very uplcose filming to the actors especially in emotional scenes, there is also alot of shouting and swearing throughout the film to try to enable the audience to understand the drama that is takeing place in the plot.

There lighting is very peculiar in Collateral. torches are used in one scene to focus on the actors faces and to let the audience have a clearer view of whats happening.

Perfume

Perfume, the story of a Murderer.

what makes 'Perfume' a thriller? In 'Purfume' the thriller isnt so in your face compared to some of the other thrillers you get, but the deeper you look into the story the more spine chilling it is.

The majority of the film is shot in candle light which can be scary in itself due to not being entirely aware of your surroundings. It also brings your full attention to the actors because the candle light is fixtured on their faces.

This film is also Narrated throughout the film which can help the audience to understand the plot to avoide confusing scenes.

The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight

Why is ''The Dark Knight'' a Thiller?

In ''The Dark Knight'' the terrorists are Masked which in my opinion scares the audience due to not knowing what their identity is,which also makes the audience question the reason why they would need to hide their identity.

The director uses upbeat fast music prior to a dramatic scene about to occur in the film to keep them alert to the drama that is about to begin and builds up suspence.

Many of the scenes where there is alot going on are shot from above in the birds eye view so none of the action is missed by the viewers.

Psycho

Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho -1960

Psycho is a Thriller staring Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles and Janet Leigh.

what makes ''Psycho'' a Thriller? 'Psycho' is a very intense film with a pretty easy plot to understand, it consists of alot of tension and suspence, the director of this film used good bakground music to build up the tension in the film and used diffrent angles when shooting a dramatic scene which gave the audience a clearer view of what was going on. Throughout the film the lighting was rather dark which gave it the mysterious effect, appart from when there was an important scene where the lighting was fixtured on the faces of the actors to draw all attention towards them.
