Kiss Me Deadly

Kiss Me Deadly is again like Double Identity and Cape Fear another old fashioned thriller film. As it is a old fashioned thriller film, the techniques used were very basic and that includes filming the film in black and white. Modern day thriller films are not filmed in black and white but in some parts of the film, for example a flashback, black and white screenings are used to create a effect. Another thing that is interesting about this film is that the opening credits are shown by falling down the screen but backwards. I liked this technique because i had to catch on to it to understand it. Another convention that is used well in this basic thriller film is the hyperbolic sounds. We can hear this when the woman is deep breathing really loudly and when she is running. The camera shots where simple as well as the shots that they mainly used were tracking shots and close up's of the girl running and on her feet. With the film being filmed at night and the car travelling on a dark road with the forthcoming roads were hidden, the front lights of the car showed the road before them but this builds up tension as we dont no what could be in the distance. The music also creates a effect for this.
