The genre we decided we are most likely to use for our film was thriller, and they have many conventions that other film genres may not. In terms of Sound, lots of tension music is often used, this can also be known as ambient sound, and an example would be the constant music playing in the background during the opening scene to 'The Dark Knight'. Editing is also key, and fast cuts between scenes are common, as to keep the fast paced parts of the film flowing nicely. Cinematography is also used frequently in unique ways, such as crane shots of high up action to give a clear view on the setting. For example during the opening scene to 'Casino Royale' a crane shot is used of Bond and the man he is chasing, as they fight on a construction crane, far above the ground. Finally changes in pace are common, as it tends to peak and fall, to create sequences of action and less eventful scenes. These are often important scenes, that may suddenly break out into action, and usually contain some sort of key foreshadowing or foreboding of later events in the film.
Best Thrillers of 2012
The Dark Knight Rises
Without doubt the latest film in the batman trilogy was a huge success last year. Produced by Warner Bros it was the second biggest selling film in the UK and Ireland, making a gross profit of £56.3m over the year. It also had a good opening weekend gross, making £14.4m which was 4th out of the top 20 films. Perhaps the biggest reason it did so well, especially just after it entered cinemas was the hype surrounding the batman series. It has always been very successful series with the other two films in the trilogy 'Batman Begins' and 'The Dark Knight' also being hugely successful.
