Make at least two references to each of the 4 areas of editing, camerawork, mise en scene and sound, using appropriate terms for each.
Comment on why this works as an opening to a thriller (consider conventions for film openings of this genre)
Comment on its narrative structure.
How – remember this is a blog posting – use bullet points, embed video, links, screen grab imagery from the opening, clear sub headings – it must be easy to follow.
Clearly headed “Research task” by (Your Name) and tagged. All individual members of the group need to complete this.
Deadline – Friday 27th January, midnight

Finding thriller openings for deadline one
You will need to use your initiative here a little. Possible sources are :-
1. College Library
2 Ask your media teacher if you can watch any from our department library during free periods
3 YouTube - Part one of thrillers
4 You are likely to have access to some thrillers at home.
REMEMBER - do not use Thriller Trailers (that is something completely different)
Rememeber - we expect more than just an embeded video and some some structured notes. Import screen grabs to illustrate key points.
