Thriller 4: Walk on the wild side

(VIDEO FOUND ON THE VLE)

Camera

At the beginning the camera shakes, this makes the audience think that they are waiting for something to appear into the scene. The camera uses various shots like tracking and panning in order to follow the cat. Close ups and mid-shots are used so that the audience are kept waiting for something to happen next, thus increasing the tension. Close-ups are especially used in the cat fight, so that the audience is limited to what they can see. This makes the fight seem more dramatic and violent than it really is.

Editing

The pace of the sequence is slow, in order to allow the tension to be built and the audience to be kept captivated by the narrative of the extract. Once the black cat meets the white cat the pace is much quicker and jump cuts are used to represent this in a juxtaposition to the rest of the scene.


Sound

The non-digetic sound is very dramatic and it has been used to reinforce each step that the cat makes. More instruments are introduced throughout and the music begins to heighten. Thus making the audience realise the action/ thriller sequence is about to take place.


Mise-en-scene

The cats that are used are black and white this has been stereotypically created to allow the audience members to relate it as being good verse bad like in any other thriller films. If this obvious contrast was not created it would make the audience less interested and more confused with the way the narrative of the film is represented.
