In this lesson we concentrated on looking at another Thriller genre but in this case it was related to a programme called Wallender on BBC. Even though it is a programme and not a film, it still fits into the Thriller genre and still consists of the techniques and the conventions used in a thriller film.
At the start of the programme we see a quick sharp shot of darkness. A blank screen. Just by the producers doing this, it makes us feel uneasy as we can not see what is going on but we could hear sound coming from the screen. On the screen at this time we hear rattling noises as if some one is trapped in, this makes us feel unsure and nervous. You can tell that I was unsure because when we saw the action, it was a helicopter flying over the sea. The sounds that I was hearing was the wind blowing in the background making a impact noise and then it comes to a stand still when we see the girls.When we see the two girls, they looked as if they have just done something very serious. You can tell this by their faces and the deep panting noises they were producing. Also, the rock and rolla dress sense is a bit wierd, this gives off an impression of a bit loose in the head. Furthermore, the girl holding the knife had a red streak in her hair. This could symbolise that she is hot headed, rebellious and is a fiery character.
When watching the opening sequence of this programme it made me ask questions again, like what would happen in any other opening sequence of a thriller. The questions that I was thinking to myself were ; Where is this place? Where are they walking? Who are they?Blood in the car so how did it get there? What happened?
