As we would be preparing te opening title seqence of a thiller, I thought it was important to know what the actual meaning of the word thriller was. Therefore I searching into google asking what the long definition was and this is what came up:
Thriller is a broad genre of literature, film, and television programming that uses suspense, tension and excitement as the main elements. Thrillers heavily stimulate the viewer's moods giving them a high level of anticipation, ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, surprise, anxiety and/or terror. Thriller films tend to be adrenaline-rushing, gritty, rousing and fast-paced. Literary devices such as red herrings, plot twists and cliffhangers are used extensively. A thriller is a villain-driven plot, whereby he or she presents obstacles that the protagonist must overcome.
Having read this, it made me aware of some of the ideas that I should carry towards our piece. For example building excitement as well as tension. We should also aim to make the audience anxious and uncertain. We also need to make the villain obvious, in our case the villain is unknown and so therefore will exphasise the concept of a 'thriller' to a greater extent.
